A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

He was forecast to be runner up to Anthony Joshua, but I think the asthma drug story will have blown that.

That leaves Lewis Hamilton as the runner up to Joshua, so Hamilton could become one of the few double winners.

I,ll bet AJ doesn't get Amir Khan's vote, might get Mrs Khan,s...

It adds to the entertainment.

Lets face it, if sport didn't entertain there wouldn't be any prize money, so the more entertainment, the more money comes in.

Sport is better without prize money. Anyway, I quite like unemotional, focused, inscrutable sportsmen. Bjorn Borg and Steve Davies. You can just marvel at the determination and prowess.

Sport is better without prize money.

Agreed, but spectator sport is tied to money and dominated by it now. I can't see that ever changing.

Me too! Being forced to watch the cup final would be bad enough but the royal wedding with be repeated over and over and over.
Note to self.. but a few spare batteries for a long long ride.

No, I'm with the rest, can happily do without the Cup Final and the royal family. The latter I'd flog off to the Americans, they've already bought London Bridge so we can ship them Buckingham Palace as well.

I was once told that I needed to get a life! And all because I didn't want to join a bunch of roundy drunks shouting at a tv screen.

No, just watch Strictly, Cup Final and Royal Wedding on catch up..You,ll be fine...

The fuss is Strictly unnecessary, the wedding (29th) and cup final (19th) are ten days apart.

I have a confession to make. It's really true and an embarrassing secret that i hope no one finds out.. In my life i have never been to a football match!

That's not a confession - it's something to be proud of! I had to endure football matches as part of my long-forgotten occupation however I never went to one in my private life, even though, many years ago when Dunfermline won the Scottish cup, I lived within a stone's throw of the stadium.

I went to one once! I was invited by a big telecoms outfit and did the whole VIP seat - 3 course meal after - meet the players thing.

I have been to so many international rugby games I've lost count however.
