SPOTY 2018

[FLiam]

Tyson Fury really is a fucking mountain of a human being.

He has the wingspan of a pterodactyl.

[Rich]

Zero issue with Geraint winning that one.

This is bizarre. I don't like it.

Reading some of these comments without the context of actually watching the show is amazing. 

[Bobfoc]

They seem to have got the work experience boy to end the show.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Jimmy Anderson should have won it.

 

People who know my stance on Team Sky and my long held suspicions of Geraint Thomas' "clean" credentials (following his career trajectory, those he's surrounded with and his discipline changes) will know that I'm grumpy with this result. I've also never taken to Lewis Hamilton so not the best 1-2!

What is up with that? He seems to get some serious hate. I know he drives a Merc but still.

[Adam]

I cannot stand Hamilton but it's hard to argue with his achievements at this stage. He was imperious this year against Vettel in an arguably inferior car.

Did Thomas win then? Correct decision.

[FLiam]

I dislike Lewis Hamilton because of his blatant tax-avoidance whilst at the same time pretending to be "a man of the people". 

[Colly]

Also because Formula 1 is shit.

Yeah, so Monaco resident Geriant Thomas is a much more tax paying, likeable person?

I love Geriant winning, but make sure you hold people to the same standards 

[MDK]

Lewis seems like a nice lad though. I don't watch so much F1 these days but when he has been interviewed he sounds alright. I don't really care so much about the tax thing, I'd probably do it too.

[Colly]

Mocks the poor, is pro tax evasion. Tell me Myke, do you also have shit hair?

Eh? I never even made a comment on Geraint Thomas winning though. I didn't particular want him to win either, I voted for Yarnold.

Nah he mostly comes off as an arrogant twonk. He has been this way since pretty much the day he stepped onto the grid in F1. I'm not personally too bothered about the tax thing either, although he has lived in multiple different tax havens I believe now.

To be honest if I was as rich as that and could afford to live in places like Monaco, I would. Wouldn't most of us?

Let's not forget the transphobia as well for bonus points. Even ignoring the tax stuff there's enough little bits and pieces about him to make him unlikable. 

[Adam]

He's also under fire for his SPOTY speech in which he referred to his own hometown of Stevenage as "the slums".

[MDK]

Stevenage isn't exactly Mayfair

[Bobfoc]

If Stevenage is an example of the slums, I think we probably all come from the slums.

Not the point though, is it. It is insulting and disingenuous to refer to it as "slums", we don't have slums in Britain, it's his hometown and he has many fans there as you'd expect but here he is shitting all over it on a national stage. He's a dingbat.
