[Other Sport] SPOTY contenders

[Wozza]

Just lumped on Asher Smith.

Asher-Smith gets my vote

And she is bloody gorgeous

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Such a dull, unneeded post.

From a poster I have on ignore? Who knew?

Neither KJT nor DAS will win because it was "only" the Worlds and not the Olympics. The same way Andy Murray didn't win when he "only" won the US Open, he needed to win Wimbledon to get it. People only care about those events in niche sports, whereas the cricket win was a "World Cup".

So who is going to win it?

Do you have write anything that isn't unadulterated drivel? Cock.

And, **** me, another twunt I have on ignore. Is that what the bookies call a double?

Das Fart to post soon?

Stokes won England the World Cup, then a few weeks later he orchestrated the greatest test match victory I’ve ever seen. If he doesn’t win, then I’m giving up sport.

Lots of people don't care about cricket either... and we lost the ashes... just saying

Asher-Smith is the first britishh woman ever to win a sprint gold...

Best wait and see if England (or indeed Scotland/Wales/Ireland) manage to win the egg-chasing

Currently...

 

[Wozza]

And... there you go. No longer favourite.

But not in an Olympics. Which is the only time most people care about athletics.

I went to the Worlds in 2017 and they were awesome, but the reality is that the public vote for this, and while what she's done is amazing people will go "not the Olympics though, is it?" That's the way it is.

So who is going to win it?

Ben Stokes.
Lewis Hamilton 2nd.
DAS 3rd.

Unless something remarkable happens in the rugby.

 

[maltaseagull]

Such is the BBC's desire to be right on it will probably be won by a disabled muslim lesbian.

Shush! You can't say that anymore. Even thoughost you could be right.

 

[Pevenseagull]

And... there you go. No longer favourite.

I guess it depends on the newspapers tomorrow.
Wouldn't be surprised if The Sun go big on the story.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

It's Stokes for me. To play two of the greatest innings in the history of the game within weeks of each other; amazing.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Surely Aaron Connolly has got it sown up!

I've never gone much on SPOTY anyway, hence the not particularly serious comment. The programme itself bores me to tears.

This. Shirley, Ben Stokes' run in with the OB disqualify him for a few years, however impressive he was in the Ashes... Not that I'll watch or, indeed, care.

Me or him??

Would be interested to hear if this was me!

 

[Lower West Stander]

Not that it bothers me greatly but I do think Asher-Smith has a greater chance of winning simply by dint of her being female.

It should be all about opinions on sporting achievements, but it’s become more than that which I find quite sad.
