Don’t agree with that, but yet again no Ronnie or Joshua is daft.No Tyson Fury nomination Completely farcical.
I'd love to see it. Such an absolute class act as a player. One of the best this country has ever produced.Give it Anderson the glorious man
It’ll be a sad day when he’s gone, after Cook going it’ll be a real end of era. Anderson being edged to cookI'd love to see it. Such an absolute class act as a player. One of the best this country has ever produced.
(I'm not actually watching as the Scottish Open final is on, but yeah, ooooh Jimmy Jimmy!)
Looking through social media a lot of outrage over no Fury. He drew his one big fight he isn’t in top 3 for boxing for 2018 never mind all of British sport.Don’t agree with that, but yet again no Ronnie or Joshua is daft.
& I'll never forget his nightwatchman efforts Such a lad. A true icon.It’ll be a sad day when he’s gone, after Cook going it’ll be a real end of era. Anderson being edged to cook
To be fair, he should've won that match, & it was a tougher match than either of Joshua's wins. Plus his comeback story really is something impressive, considering how far he'd sunk into drugs/drink/depression.Looking through social media a lot of outrage over no Fury.

I agree he should have. We need to ignore the personality it’s best year a sports person has had. It’s not comeback story of the year. If there is an award for that he totally deserves it. I don’t think AJ should be nominated either but I would nominate him over Fury. Sure I’m in minority.To be fair, he should've won that match, & it was a tougher match than either of Joshua's wins.

Agreed. If it's on achievement/feats alone then neither boxer deserves a spot. Ronnie should be there in that situation.I agree he should have.

Eh?Three lions live in the studio.
Cue all the foreign guys watching this having another meltdown.
Definitely couldn't begrudge Lewis taking it. Such a natural talent & deserving of his stature.Lewis for me. This year is his best winning season in F1 i think and his number 5.
You missed all the vitirol over the summer when that song was played?
Must have done.You missed all the vitirol over the summer when that song was played?
Modric and Lovren referenced it as motivation for beating England in interviews. Many foreign fans on this forum couldn't stand it being played constantly either.Must have done.
Maybe it has to do with snooker not being majorly popular sports unlike others? I like Ronnie O'Sullivan thou. Watching his match and snooker in general on youtube always fascinating.Amazed to read the other day apparently Ronnie O'Sullivan has never even made a top 10 in this. You're talking about one of the best Sportsman produced by United Kingdom in last 30 years.
I remember a similar outcry over Phil Taylor but I think he did eventually finish 3rd one year.
Ironically it's one of the few major sporting tournaments the BBC still screens live with the World championships at the Crucible.Maybe it has to do with snooker not being majorly popular sports unlike others?

EH? Can you explain that?Also all this outrage over Fury not being on the list is hilarious... He lost for feck sake.
Also, Joshua is the World Champ... So yeah
He drew a fight versus an unbeaten world champion (that the majority of experts had him winning handily) after coming back from a shedload of personal issues. Joshua beat a near 40 year old Povetkin and a relative nobody.Also all this outrage over Fury not being on the list is hilarious... He lost for feck sake.

Don't really understand how you can say he lost that fight. Won every round comfortably other than the knock down rounds. Joshua is only world champion because of Fury vacating belts.Also all this outrage over Fury not being on the list is hilarious... He lost for feck sake.

Of course snooker or pools can be found at any bars/pubs everywhere but its lack on stature among others major sports even if it casts live by BBC. Saying that if Lizzy gets nominated so should Ronnie.Ironically it's one of the few major sporting tournaments the BBC still screens live with the World championships at the Crucible.
Of course Snooker isn't viewed as mainstream sport but plenty of people around Britain casually play it in pubs and bars and snooker clubs and I'm sure if you asked the average person on the street they'd have heard of him more than some who've been shortlisted.
I was just staggered he's never made a shortlist when I read that the other day.

I meant he didn't win the fight or the belt.He drew a fight versus an unbeaten world champion (that the majority of experts had him winning handily) after coming back from a shedload of personal issues. Joshua beat a near 40 year old Povetkin and a relative nobody.
Fury's year was more impressive overall for me, even if Joshua has the better win ratio to show.
Harry Kane won the World Cup Golden Boot (Sorry)!I meant he didn't win the fight or the belt.
Whether he should have done or not is irrelevant. He didn't win, and rewarding that would just be bizarre - especially when actual Champions/record setters are on this list
... And Harry Kane
