365 were offering 50/1 O'Sullivan earlier on this morning. Only allowed me a tenner!

Chris Froome to finally get over the line? we love our cyclists..

Oops..swing low sweet chariot!!

Hamilton noticeably edited out from opening sequence.

And yet a massive plunge on him. If lines were open, you`d be fairly suspicious, but they`re not, so inexplicable

not great vt for Alun

Hamilton matched at 11.5

All very low key so far looking between Dina and Lewis for runner up

My Alun bet not looking too clever right now, I have lewis covered to get out of jail

Lineker just used the word "denouement" with a straight face and no finger quotes - what a w@nker!

Didn`t he also introduce Stokes with `main award winner`?

lineker knows

AWJ vote is set in stone. No issue with the edit; all about how many Welsh vote.

did not understand a word there

Not a word

Quite funny when a guest speaks unintelligible gibberish and the hosts have to blag it like they understood in order not to embarrass the guest.
If I was the guest I'd really play up on it and go all David Icke-ish or something, just for a laugh.

stokes, a few lucky shots and couldn't have done it without at least 10 other people. Hamilton, couldn't have done it without the car and the 20 mechanics, engineers etc. and these are the two favourites. ffs walofs. changed the channel.

Hamilton's hair too busy at a Christmas party. Sums him up

I'm on Dina at 50, 55 & 60. She desrves to win this, as does Hamilton, not Stokes imo

hamilton is a great

`Greatest sportsman of all time` WTF?????

I don't think the Dina VT is enough to register with casuals that were unaware of her achievements

A female winner is long overdue. A bit unfortunate to have two black females in the final though as it may split the vote.

Not sure her coach getting an award also helps.

I dont think she'll win but she deserves immense credit for her achievements

Yeah - he seems like a right c0ck-womble.

Clear for me, Ham has form and will be 2nd. Him not being there hasn’t mattered in the past.

If this girl wins a medal next year she’ll win. More charisma than everyone that’s been on stage tonight!

Agreed

"Jihad wearing Jockey"

So far nearly every song they've used has been one from a recent TV advert.

We've had the Peloton one, the Fiat 500 car ad (Lizzo "Juice") and now that mobile phone one.

Who wants to see the Americans winning the world cup FFS

Same old BBC propaganda every year. That's probably why the vote has fallen.

When you think how much time those dancers must have spent perfecting that bit of choreography
yet we hardly got to see any of it compared to the time devoted to showing a stationary singers gurning face.

Its all a bit of a drag, with some aspects rushed through, then an unecessaty performance by Emile Sande its a sports programm FFS

Not sure the Stokes bit was as good as it should have been didn`t really convey how exciting his performances were at all. Been trading down a max red from those two days, now happy enough to take my chances with a small red, somewhere between decent win and minor jackpot the rest.

I'm only in the W/O market, small beer, +60 hammy, +140 Alun field -154

Cricket team wins team of the year. Bodes well.

So, amongst others, John Mac died this year.

As Rowan Atkinson once put it :-

Dead but not forgotten.

It could be worse - he could be dead AND forgotten.

Worst of all he could be forgotten and NOT dead.

well done ben.


nice to see a durham lad win, would be nice to see him at durham next year !

Like this shorter format of 6 over 10 contestants. If I remember rightly vote % is pretty quick

Well deserved win for Stokes. Had a hand in the 2 outstanding sporting performances of the year. You'll never see a greater cricket WC final or Ashes test innings.

^^^^^^^^ totally agree JR

Me too, bit of a travesty if he hadsn`t won.
Splinun1, votes were released about half an hour after last year`s show

Cheers Tim, I wonder how close it actually was!

No vote release last year

Get your Dossiers out, Sir!

I knew if I disagreed with bear on this type of thing that I`d be wrong; sure enough, I was looking at the 2017 thread!

lol
