The Boat Race by far. Then the F1 season.

I should have said this was a "without the boat race" market. Though it did result in the extradition of an aussie last hear so it has recently gone up in my estimation. F1 is utter sh1t though I will watch if an englishman might win the title, sailing is the worst spectator sport in the olympics imo, not a clue what is going on.

4. Cricket
5. Womens Cricket

7. Any other sport where Women attempt to compete on an equal footing as men when they are clearly not built for it.

agree with alot of the above

also any darts but particularly if the chavy smarm bag Phil Taylor is playing.

Shergar Cup is a good shout but at least it's an opportunity for a break between Glorious Goodwood and The Ebor meeting.

F1 I just don't get but a lot of people do, why do we have to pretend the Women's European Football Championships is worthy of blanket coverage? - it is n't - the standard is garbage.

Summer Jumps racing also of zero interest - I love NH racing but have no involvement between the mixed fixture at Sandown at the end of April and the weekend when the Charlie Hall Chase takes place at end Oct/early Nov.

As stated, the boat race is a given.

Synchronised swimming and dressage must be the most pointless sporting waste of time for people to get good at.

Walking at the Olympics is pretty naff - Why don't you just run ya' buggers, you like like you are dying to.

Europa League football until they give the winners a Champions League place

Watching any football team managed by Sam Allardyce

For me, any sport that is 'judged' has no place. Diving, Gymnastics, Dressage, Sync Swimming are all a joke. I like Boxing, but the judges scores should be made common knowledge after each round.

Cricket
Football
Tug 'o' war
Triathlon
Biathlon
Triple Jump
Snooker
Pool
Formula 1
100 metres underwater hurdling

Best to take part in:
darts
banger racing
racing round the M25 in the opposite direction to your opponent, at 2-00 a.m.
racing through the old Blackwall Tunnel before the speed cameras were put in
treasure hunts in cars (don't see them these days)

I caught a bit of waterpolo the other night on Eurosport - poor viewing. Bunch of guys in skull caps trying to drown each other in between paddling & treading water frantically.
