Just say MO to Fury

Well it's nearly Christmas time and that must mean one thing: it's time for the old 'Sports Personality! That's a contradiction in terms!' joke. Done.

Except this year there's one candidate who, for reasons best known to himself, is very much a 'personality'. Chris Froome. I jest. Chris Froome looks like a face found on a EU-banned potato, but has less charisma. I meant, of course, Max Whitlock. He's a gymnast, but not the one who did the dancing competition on the telly. I'm sure he's got a terrific personality but I wouldn't know as I'm still not quite sure who he is. 

No the real lively folk are Lucy Bronze and Lizzie Armitstead. Lucy was like a left-back who scored a top-notch goal and then that other lass scored that quirky own-goal and English football confirmed what it always knew about itself - heroic, noble, unsuccessful.

Lizzie is good at riding a bike. And is full of personality. Then there's Greg and Mo and Jess, the 2012 triptych revisited. All lovely. The real problem is the big beardie boxer bloke with the preposterous name. Tyson Fury. A colourful character, isn't he? He could have his own comic strip, couldn't he?

And as with many men who have built a career on punching people in the face, a man who rarely engages his brain before he speaks. Which is not to say he doesn't think before he fists someone's nose. Indeed the way he masterminded the defeat of the untopplable Klitschko was impressive stuff. But this isn't about whether he's got ringcraft. It's whether a homophobe and misogynist should be on the list in the first place.

Now this is a tricky one. First of all, he does talk bollocks. That is without question. His mouth opens and it's like a bin being emptied into a dustcart. My biggest hope is that Klitschko wins the rematch by a knock-out, announces he's gay and then snarls at Fury's stricken body "The best place for an intolerant bastard is on his back."

Of course, since the issue has caused much fence-sitting at the BBC and condemnation from right-minded folk everywhere, Tyson has sought to clarify his remarks about womankind and the oft-noted link between Satanism and homosexuality. His first attempt was:"Tyson Fury loves everyone, Tyson Fury doesn't hate anyone". And Robbo Robson hates anyone who uses the third person when talking about themselves.

The second effort saw an eerie glint come across his eyes as he sought to enlighten folks as to the attractions of Jesus Christ. Now I'm no expert but I don't remember the parts of the New Testament where Jesus says "Shalt it not be okay to twatteth another in the mush for money?" Or the part where Christ beseeches Mary Magdalene to leave his feet alone get on her back but not before the slapper's made a decent brew.

Of course there is that bit when poor Jesus is in the wilderness and the Devil appears unto him and tempts him into sinfulness by introducing him to a lithe and well-toned Nubian homosexual named Maurice.

But I digress. The question is: Should Tyson Fury be on the list? And the answer to that is 'yes'. Should he be allowed to say stupid things? Yes. It's called Freedom Of Speech. People have fought very hard over the years to be permitted to say what they like; many of those striving for such opportunities have been and still are gay and/or female.

We should not tolerate his bilious garbage, we should challenge it, preferably during SPOTY. I'd love to see Clare Balding having a right old pop at him. "Sorry for being here Tyson, but I've been resting up for this conversation - on my back - while Satan cooed sweet nothings in my ear."

Ban him and he just dribbles off back under that bridge and where them stupid goats trip-trap over the river. And spout even more cack whenever he is moved to speak publicly.

My SPOTY would be Mo Farah. Unless the Salazar allegations get in the way, he's a shoo-in. My overseas personality of the year would be Louis Van Gaal. Now there's a bloke with charisma, personality and a great sense of humour. This week he surpassed himself with:

"We are better than last year."

Well maybe, but that's like saying a firm turd is better than a runny one. It's still, at the end of the day, shit. Now obviously being 4th and getting beaten by the might Boro in the League Cup is no great shame, unless it's cost you a quarter of a billion quid to get there. LVG resembles one of them dopey toffs on Grand Designs who has to dolefully admit that everything is costing way more than he ever thought possible, and that's just for the foundations.

He added: 'It was a tough group."

Really? PSV, Wolfsburg, CSKA. Well now you mention there's an almost overwhelming European pedigree amongst that lot isn't there? Every one of them awash with modern greats of the game like the Polish winger Ooji-watzhit and the Ghanaian wonderboy Thimgummi. I mean, puh-lease, Louise. That's a cushy first six games, mate.

And if it was a tricky group and they are a bit better than they were, Manchester United are certainly, more than anything else, as dull as this font. I've been more entertained by the movement of the hour hand on the town clock in Yarm. 

There are mutterings that Van Gaal might be coaxed towards the exit door while Carlo Ancelotti does his regular successful two-year stint and gets ditched with his dignity intact. What's for certain is that United need to get a bit more bloody lively. Failure's bad enough. Turgid failure's unforgiveable. 

Arsenal's failure didn't come to pass, of course. In fact underneath all that po-faced sobriety Arsene had just a twinkle of smugness. And Giroud, a man maligned for appearing to be Bendtner Mk II when he's far from it, took his chances well. 

Pellegrini had a smile on his face too, which is hard to tae when normally, even in victory, the bloke looks like he's just witnessed a fatal car-crash. And Mourinho was all humility and diffidence. Yeah, whatever. I'm sure there's some myopic match officials just waiting to undermine him on Monday night. 

Citeh and Arsenal should still be smiling by then. Villa can't possibly stop a team so burgeoning with confidence and Swansea, without a manager, could have an easier away-day than the Etihad. 

By then we should also have learnt that either Mo Farah has won SPOTY or an entire fraternity of British sportsmen are wandering around the streets of Belfast urging women to take Jesus into their hearts and fall on their backs with. 

Just say MO, people.

  2. Good stuff Robbo, my vote, if I had one, would go to Eddie Davis. Completing the forecast, A.P. McCoy. My other vote, if I had one, would go to whoever isn't named Donald Trump, although he does have some fine golf courses. I think he's given up on the Presidency now but will keep yapping garbage for as long as they stick a microphone in his face. It's all fodder for his next book and the 7 figure speaking engagements.

  3. Froomey gets my vote (obviously)

    Team of the year should be Andy Murray.

    ReplyDelete
  4. A mate of mine sent me a GIF to remind me that our new lineal heavyweight champion once threw an uppercut that bounced off his opponent's gloves, and he hit himself in the face. I think that's a great symbol of what happens when Fury opens his mouth, as well as the sorry state the once-great heavyweight title has come to. Fury's 'boxing' is just abysmal. Klitschko found himself simultaneously older and smaller than an opponent, and I don't see him changing either condition...

    ReplyDelete
  5. If Fury wins then Trump is a shoe-in for the overseas award. I reckon Andy Murray should win both the individual and the team award. He showed more emotion in the Davis cup win than ever before. As it will be another 50 years before we win it again let Andy have it this year and give it to Mo after the 2016 olympics.

  6. At the end of the day, SPOTY is about sportsman's/woman's PERSONALITY (courage, guts, balls-if any, commitment and all-round inspiration) and not necessarily about the actual sporting achievement, per say. It is definitely not about being a gob-shite so-called 'character' (both/either gobby or shite)... For me, the stand out contenders are: Lizzy Armitstead for gloriously winning the almost impossible race, Chris Froome, for winning the hardest ever competition in the world, twice, and in spite of everything having been thrown at him, and Andy Murray, for near single-handedly dragging the GB team from the brink and inspiring the nation to a magnificent win and putting aside his flirtations with the 'YES' campaign last year. He is a true grit Brit, ata boy!

    Tyson Fury is nothing more than a massive spunktrumpet, and is rather good at a sport that no-one gives a jizzknuckle about anymore, now it's bben completely removed from the public arena by that nasty little Australian.

  9. Thanks for the link jacks. its an on going pantomime and that why i love it, smurfs a disappointment but they always are when they realise how much its going to cost them to keep the club afloat (ask trots). he seemed real but it was because he was amateurish and professionals these days are professionally inscrutable. anything said on twitter is loading the gun of your critics and you know what footballs like.

    ive seen posts which he deletes moaning about wanting to sell for some time - one was from his daughters wedding i think (he probably wouldnt have let her marry a black man because "her mum" would have given him a hard time) - all this hasselbank stuff, the fans are too racist etc what a load of bollocks loads of black players down the years have been heroes - there was one guy /valentino? jim gannon brought in i remember was abused racially and its unacceptable and i wouldnt claim there havent been incidents but i think and hope they are few and far between - one is one too many. but i only see them once or twice a season these days so maybe im wrong and if it is getting worse that would caused or associated with the rise of ukip in places like stoke, i guess.

    If you want to sell your club smurf it might have been an idea not to say im selling because the fans are thugs and racists (even if some are) its a bit like selling your house and warning about the neo nazi death cult next door. Truth is smurfs a coventry fan who never wanted sole ownership a d will go back now to the spanish beach from whence he came in 2013 and some other more or less venal capitalist will take his place.

    if any billionaire lower league fanboy saudi princes are reading this - listen to the smurf song

  14. Bit of a quandary for us gooners tonight. As much as I want to see Chelsea sink further into the creek (they haven't got a boat, nevermind a paddle) I don't know if I want Leicester to go top again. I think I'll settle for a 0-0 kick-em-up-in-the-air-fest and a 24 man brawl leading to charges and docked points. At least it'd give Jose something to moan about.

  15. Fuck me, this is the first time since the old BBC days that I have come here and the posts are current... well within an hour old that is.

    Of all the people you mention Robbo, I have only heard of Murray and Fury and as you, or some commenter, rightly pointed out he is just a gobshite, I have to go with Murray for SPOTY (whatever the fuck that is, obviously something to do with sport though.)

    I am still trying to come to terms with Arsenal being top of the PL (only for a few more minutes I would imagine) and managing to squeak through to the final 16 in Europe. Our stay in Europe looks like being short-lived again after drawing Barca, mind you that's better than drawing Midtjylland in the Europa thingy init.

    As for the Danish team from nowhere are they not the bunch who put out Southampton in the early stages. Shame Man City will be only team in quarters but it may keep them busy for a while. If the gooners win then it will truly be the Chinese year of the (under) dog.

  21. Speaking of SPOTY awards. Sports Illustrated has announced that Serena Williams is their winner, getting 1% of votes in their on-line poll of the public.

      Serena is a horse's ass in the personality department and she'd be a clear winner for the unsporting award.

Might be that the new TV deal has given the "lesser" clubs so much money they can afford to keep their star players (eg Stones at Everton). Also might be that the top players at the top clubs aren't as good as they think they are (Wayne). there are certainly no outstanding teams (eg Real, Barca, Bayern), or weak teams, like there are in other European leagues.

      Soriano. “Mourinho is a winner, but in order to win he guarantees a level of tension that becomes a problem.”

      SO expect Jose to come out on top and then implode, but i think man u would take that given their post SAF slump.The article compares Mourinho to Milton's Satan bent on vindictive eternal revenge against a world he didnt make...

    A miserable tune

    And so this is Christmas
    Neil Lennon in the shit
    His big brother John
    Won’t get him out of it

    We wish you a merry Christmas
    You can all take the piss
    While we watch Emile Heskey
    Hit another wild miss

    That's my little Christmas ditty, some parts copyrighted by John Lennon. Additional verses welcome.
    Merry Christmas Robbo and all of you.

    1. From Everton:

      Lukaku shoots goalward
      Wide open, its maw
      But it's back off the woodwork
      God! Another shit draw!

  41. Refugees in a boat
    About to capsize
    We hope that you float
    You Horwich Franchise

    It happened at the vale
    And the fans never quit
    So hope can prevail
    But we're still in the shit

    1. He can feel Maureen's breath on his neck H2. The hilarity may increase over the next few weeks, especially if, hopefully, Un**ed's results continue in the current vein.

  43. A happy Christmas and a merry new year to all. The people of Syria and Iraq (not just ISIS) will be receiving gas and a myriad of bombs from santa. I can only hope that "colateral" damage is kept to a minimum.

    Jack, the reason you haven't had an e-mail from me for a while is, I have lost your e-mail address. Can you ask Mrs Jack to send it to me in a message on facebook. Cheers.
