I think the Brits will climb down and get a bare bones agreement before the end of year which isn't the Canada deal they crave and but somehow keeps the food imports arriving on time, but somehow sell it as a win to the public using the Express, Torygraph and Dail Mail Looks like Barnier has caved ...

Teo Geoghan-Hart wins today’s stage in the Giro and up to 4th in the overall standings. Chapeau!

Great game and so pleased for Exeter. They have built steadily and deserve their success.

The BBC's gorgeous Katya is saying that yesterday's EU meeting was all for domestic show and the EU are preparing to lube up and bend over to take Johnson's giant schlong. Other way around I reckon I reckon the UK are read to leave without a deal. Boris said today that trade talks are over and it i...

The EU can just fuc* off. They are our waters. We will catch as many fish as we want and the EU can bug*er off. Who do we sell them to? Is fishing such a big issue in some countries that the fisherman can effetely force their governments to veto any deal with the EU if they don't get their way on f...

Sounds like Macron has caved on fishing.... "On fisheries, Mr Macron conceded a no-deal Brexit would be a “win” for British fishermen. He said: “If there is no deal, European fishermen will have no access to British waters whatsoever. That is the reality. "If there is a deal, will the situation be t...

:frown: As someone who works in the industry, I can tell you that you don't have a f**king clue what you're talking about you dumb twat. As an aside, being denied entry to UK fishing waters will kill the main stalwarts of the Irish fishing industry. Making a deal rather than making demands would se...

I'll just leave this here : UK cannot expect to retain EU membership fishing benefits, post-Brexit The complexity of moulding Britain’s future relationship with the EU is nowhere more evident than in fisheries where the UK cannot expect to retain the privileges of membership while blocking its er...

Seriously. Unless the UK implements the WA in full, no. The WA won't be the only way of satisfying the US re the Irish issue. And, poiliticians get terribly pragmatic when their own interests are at stake - Exports to the UK keep over 1 million US citizens employed. And the German carmakers will en...

Golf?

Tennis (although I personally don’t think it is a sport. Too weedy.)

So far no one has come up with anyone more deserving of the title than Lewis. Closest is Lennox Lewis I reckon.

New Guy 2 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 7:51 am If it has to be a truly global sport then your list is narrowed to Football, Boxing and a handful of Olympic sports. So with that in mind the answer is Lennox Lewis.

F1 is not a global sport.

Lennox Lewis is a good shout.

However he is dwarfed by Ali.

It's some claim that they're fitter than "most" other pro sportsmen. Unverifiable too. There's no doubt that they are incredibly fit though. They have to be massively aerobically fit and have the stamina to lose as much weight as they do for hotter countries. Need super strong necks and arms. The c...

Well he has won the most races, been on pole most times and about to equal number of world titles. He is clearly the best.

terryfinch

But there won't be any chlorinated chicken if the EU falls into line by the end of the week, will there? It's why these remainers like Curry are determined to tie the governments hands. Surely that would be the other way round. If UK caves on maintaining equivalence on standards. Otherwise the stat...

Rowing - Steve Redgrave - Minority sport.

Just had a long discussion with my son and we finally agreed that Lewis is the most successful British sportsperson. Whether you like him or not is moot. Our reasoning was that he has become the most successful person in a major global sport. We don’t have anyone else quite in that bracket. Others c...

Well, that was short and sweet by Ursula : "We stand by our commitments. Thank you." All patience with the UK now gone in the EU. Nah! She was just going through the motions. EU issue over 800 of these things a year. The more important point was asking the UK to please respond within a month. This ...

Apparently deal is looking more likely. EU has agreed to work with UK on their detailed legal texts whilst final negotiations continue on fishing and state aid - the last remaining sticking points.

What the fudge are all these Oirish fuc*ers doing on this thread ffs?

Well played Racing. Played all the rugby in the last 20, Sarries didn’t have the bench to close the game out. Lewington will have nightmares!

Have to say, Goode is a very classy player.

A lot of the criticism of Ben Youngs will be he kicks too much and not always accurately enough, he doesn't play the ball quickly enough, and when he moves the ball it's not accurate enough. And there's plenty in there to not be happy about and think one might want to go another way, fine, but if y...

So top team in Pro14 loses at home to bottom team in GP. Interesting.

What’s the score?
