Sports Personality 2020

[Andy_Faber]

I was being flippant...anyway, who cares what happens ‘outside of the North’?

In all seriousness though...I know he hasn’t been nominated, but I can’t think of a sports figure who has used his personality more positively in this otherwise dismal year, least of all that arrogant boxer who thinks he’s above it all.

Didn’t know Anthony Joshua was nominated.

PS as you don’t vote on SPOTY I’ll allow you the casting vote on whether to yellow card GP for his casual racism above. Being consistent, you should. shame of it is folk don’t bother taking the knee for that downtrodden minority, so it’s probably ‘ok’

Agreed, the gyppo wouldn't have had my vote even if he hadn't withdrawn. But then, as I said many a post back, I don't think any of the nominees merit the award when compared to past winners, but I suppose its all relative. We have the token woman nominee, the token black nominee, the token "other" but we are missing a disabled athlete - perhaps there is one from that quarter that merits inclusion. I just don't know

Why such a strange amount as target of 77,777? Is he sponsored by State Express cigarettes, if they still exist

Suspect they chose an achievable target related to seven marathons in seven days. I’ll ask Andy to spare you...give you a chance to catch up.
