    I'm supposed to be going to a pub quiz later, to do a 'quiz of the year'.

    I remember the following happening:
    Italy won the Euro's
    Italy won the Euro vision song contest
    There was an Olympics
    Errrrmmm... Daryl Dike's goal against Birmingham?

    What do you remember happening this year? I promise, if I win, I'll split the £50 bar tab with you all

    Witnessing an already incompetent, cruel , heartless, self- serving, lying PM and Cabinet ministers, continuing to get even worse by the day. And still it continues

    Oh and the Reds having a fantastic season and reaching the play-offs, which was beyond my wildest dreams.

    Sorry I was being flippant I was also by way of balance going to mention a Mad Dutch Bloke cheating our guy out of winning a car race cup. But in the end didn’t. I wasn’t deliberately not naming Emma as a slight

    My problem is the adoption of someone who is not English, because they fit into a middle class narrative and have sporting success. She is the Daily Mail's and the ABC1s golden girl at the moment, because they believe she brings a reflection of success. Ignoring the fact she and her family are economic migrants and the colour of her skin. The hypocrisy is deafening .
    I don't have a problem with immigration ST but this love-in around her is offensive, when we see how other migrants and UK born people are treated.

    I don't think she became British when she won. She was British when she lived here before she could walk

    Just seemed from the post that a sporting achievement as a woman is nt worth anything, the fact that she's pretty and young is. I'm sure you didn't mean to come across as sexist but when all the men get given their name it does.

    I'd say someone who's lived here since the age of 2 is British. I'd understand what you were on about if she was in her late teens when she arrived.

    Captain Tom died, BFC got to within 2 games of the prem.

    Both seem many, many years ago.

    Yeah but I think @Kettlewell’s point is that the DM etc would have described her as an immigrant if she had won the lottery and lived on a council estate.

    And TBF I didn’t appreciate what his point on first reading either
