Spoty

I think look at Gascgoine when he went to Italy. Their media then was probably on a par as to what we have now (obviously without social media)... He didn't fare well out there at all, and was pretty much a hate-figure to everyone except Lazio fans.

That was probably because he was/is thick and made no effort to learn Italian and embrace the culture. Those that did, John Charles, Trevor Francis, Grahame Souness, Aaron Ramsey etc, were and still are, held in high esteem.

Why wouldn't Emma Raducanu win with her amazing achievement?

Talking of which this thread made me laugh out loud many times this morning.

I'm not on twitter (as if!) so I thank you for the link opportunity to see what I am missing.

Not a lot by the looks of it Graham.

Pros are it's full of intelligent, funny people and it is very informative.

Cons are you can lose hours of your life going down ridiculous threads.

You can craft your feed to be whatever you want it to be ( which is how the anti vaxxers are created and obv has its own dangers)

But for example the running stuff is good so you can just follow fellrunning stuff and don't have to look at much else.

I never post. Just read.

Ah. I was almost convinced - until the last line.

I do think that Twitter gets far too much attention in the mainstream media, and comments/opinions from it get held up as general opinion far too much...

Something like only 5% of the population use Twitter, yet its held up as an example of national opinion at times.

Couldn't resist a reminisce of this SPOTY thread.

Nothing changes other than it is getting more woke.

The only one to have any personality is Luke Littler and he doesn't play a sport.

DARTS IS A PASTIME!

I wonder why Jude Bellingham has been nominated?

I hope Alex Yee wins.

The fact that Luke features and Jasmin doesn't says a lot.

Jasmine Paris?
