Sarah Storey's definitely punching below her weight.

Thought the whole Bellingham "Birmingham" thing was nauseating. Noses clinging to a vicarious claim to glory.

Not sure why Bellingham was even a candidate?

It was, made even worse by the bloke in the England shirt boorishly shouting "Jude, Jude, Jude."

It's been a few years since I've seen it but my God the show was dreadful (apart from the 'In Memoriam' section). The Strictly segment, two Gladiators presenting a sports award (and she gets the winner's name wrong), and who thought we don't have enough Fred Sirieix on our screens. From the start, the whole thing just felt poorly produced and awkward, with more unauthentic, forced joy than a Kamala Harris rally.

Would have preferred Yee to win it. We don't have many British athletes who hold Commonwealth and Olympic Golds along with the World Championship at the same time. But Hodgkinson would have been second choice.

I'm absolutely amazed that anyone gives enough of a shit about this to argue, I think I stopped being in any way interested in about 1987.

Awards ceremonies are toss.

I'm afraid I feel the urge to agree. Why the fuck did I start reading this thread though? Why the fuck did you start reading this thread?

Arguably the star player in a European Cup winning team, who played a part as England had their joint best tournament in 58 years doesn't sound that mad. Not that he should have won, but being nominated is fair enough.

Owen won it for scoring one goal as England were knocked out by the first vaguely competent opposition they faced, Gazza won it for one assist and crying after picking up a trademark stupid booking and Beckham won it for scoring a goal in a draw in a qualifying game, while Giggs won it for... errm... nobody knows.

Bellingham was a far better candidate than any of them.

I didn't watch but apparently there were rather a lot of women involved which seems to have enraged our Gammon friends including one of the most prominently glazed one of all, J. Barton.

Good work BBC.

It was the most active at the time and I was bored, which I guess is probably the same for you?

Even if you've no interest in a thread, it's sometimes worth checking it out if it's popular to see if there's any good arguments on the go.

In that case Ollie should have been on the short list for his magnificent last minute decider.
