Well done Mo Farah!! SPOTY!! And about time too.

 

I only caught the end of the programme but I have to show my ignorance in that I had never heard of the 2nd or 3rd placed people, and what a classic BBC cock up at the end.

 

Murray was expected to compete in the Brisbane International but is now doubtful after delaying his flight out. Perhaps he wants a longer Xmas at home, but looks like his recovery may not be going that well. Shame if his career stutters when he was at his peak.

Villas Boas to take part in Dakar 2018 .

 

oh come on BBC live texters!

first they don't know the difference between there, their and they're

and now this!

"There's only one Phil Taylor, one Phil Taylor, walking along, singing his song, walking in a Taylor wonderland."

That's what the crowd is singing, and I'm sure you are two."

 

To be fair I would think they are using voice recognition software to create the texts, and it’s probably not very good at grammar!

 

but it can spell Phil Taylor?

 

Aren’t those the first words they program in?

 

Taylor getting minced here.

 

Astonishing darts by Rob Cross.

 

Unbelievable from Cross.

 

Annoys me that Taylor is held up as some sort of hero but is a sex offender.

 

Had £5 on cross from the start at 16/1, seemed short at the time. Nonetheless £80 better off and the boy is mustard!

 

Big shout to Eddie Hall today as well, won the world strongest man and subsequently retired. First and only man to deadlift half a ton!

 

I didn’t know that. What did he do?

 

Not many do.

Convicted of indecent assault. Early 2000s I think.
