The training and dedication  they put into training is on a par with cyclists. Freaks. As much as I love Fury, one fight a year boxers just don’t do it for me, I know the training is different for HW’s but if Canelo Alvarez was called Craig Atkinson from Barnsley he would have walked this. 3 fights 3 wins this year so hopefully he wins the international award. Sterling I think has another level that he doesn’t quite hit, Foden was better than him last season and again this season consistently.  But yeah Radacanu or Peaty for me Then why isn’t Foden up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Sterling is a model professional and his exploits in the euros and last season at City were top drawer. Doesn't seem to be firing the same since. Not sure it's SPOTY worthy. I'd go Peaty as he is swimmings answer to Kenny ont bikes. Just an animal. He did an interview saying he wanted a massively legendary swim, think he called it something but can't remember what, it wasn't game changer or world record... Personality wise it's fury but he's said he doesn't want it. And Lewis can get fucked too... He gets paid top whack for driving fast cars all day and has been spuds deep in to Scherzinger... And I've not. So he's a cunt.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played at a pretty high level, and although not a professional in any way, from him, I got an understanding of the physical demands that pool sports require. Can well understand the dietary requirements. Me and my dad once jumped in the pool for a bit of a go at shooting prior to the start of a game. Kinell, picking the ball up is awkward enough, but just wazzing the bloody thing was really tough. As you raise your arm there is a tendency to sink lower in the water, making it more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pick of 6 England got to a major tournament final for the first time in 50 years. so an Enland player was going in there Was there a better player who also won domestically? No. So Sterling gets the nod I don’t really know what the big debate about it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team does well then they will be rewarded. Let’s not forget England lost, City won trophies with better players like Foden as you mentioned,  or are we continually going to show recognition to players on the losing side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case I disagree. For club and country he was the best British footballer this year. It’s not rewarding failure he won two trophies had a good season for his club and country which was decided on a penalty shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if they’re like Giggs and won virtually everything domestically over a long period then yes. You know he’s not been the best for his club this year and you have said so, it’s virtually come down to him having a good tournament which they lost. I don’t think you can have a sports personality of the year based on that.  As for Tom Daly,  why wasn’t his dive partner nominated I wonder 🤷🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Also when giggs won it it was a sham. Back end of his career. Hasn't he done well. Over 20 years he's won everything at the team who had the most money. Give him the award. He celebrated by bumming his brothers Mrs. Anyone defending him getting it gets a pinky label before getting into the volcano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
