BBC SPOTY 2021

[Brazilian Villain]

Who the hell dressed Alex Scott and Clare Balding for tonight's show?

Lineker looking very dapper in contrast, nice suit.

[KRS]

Why is Sterling in the list? I genuinely don’t understand.

Emma is too young and the start of her career to win it and she’ll deservedly win it in the future..so for me it has to be Peaty.

[Lsvilla]

Coach of the year hahaha.

Agree but no real surprise it's Emma as tennis players and cyclists seem to do well in SPOTY.

[manic-road]

Coach of the year hahaha.

Emma Hayes was more deserving, at least she has won some trophies. SPOTY gets worse by the year.

[Villa Lew]

Emma deserved winner, but England and Southgate team/coach of the year, absolute rubbish, they're LOSERS.

[Gareth]

Tea of the year & coach of the year were both losers….how very English

Surprised lifetime achievement award wasn’t given to the current England batting order.

Emma deserved winner,

Not for me, too early in her career.

See also giving knighthoods to athletes before they retire.

Emma the deserved winner. Terrible show though, socially distanced, all the presenters looked uncomfortable, canned applause and the awards given to people in isolation. And Southgate just looked like Southgate, stiff and awkward.

Agreed, the show was very flat and I think the Beeb are in danger of over exposing Alex Scott. Liked her when she first came on TV but starting to get sick of seeing her so often.

Disagree there. It’s different, she did something unprecedented so that makes sense for the award.

That's fine, more people agreed with you than me and it happens with SPOTY. But for me more a Princess Anne/Zara Phillips than Steve Redgrave/Tony McCoy type winner.

What nonsense.  I happen to not like the programme.  But it is Sports Personality OF THE YEAR.

Watt nonsense.

Tyson Fury surely was more deserving of Sports Personality - come through adversity, held on to a title, multi-time world champion.

ER wins one tournament then who knows if she'll carry on or disappear yet?

As for England and Sterling... dear me.
