It used to be first to 7 won a set, now it’s to do with a fixed number of ends, so instead of winning 4-7, 7-3, 7-4, you get 7–13 10–5 1–0 victories and it bugs me!

Wikipedia (I know) said it was anyone who played in England so that's why I thought Haaland or Pep would qualify. What they've achieved is 10000 times what the others on the list have done!
Looking at the past winners though, footballers seem to have to win everything to stand a chance but if you do well in a minor sport you're a shoe in :)
It has always been heavily biased towards individual sports. Particularly traditional middle class ones like horsey events, motor racing and tennis.
I mean, Greg Rusedski won it one year and he never won a grand slam tournament in his life.

No Tony Alcock, by name and natureThey must still have the bowls. No one else would want that.

Agreed, that's nonsenseIt used to be first to 7 won a set, now it’s to do with a fixed number of ends, so instead of winning 4-7, 7-3, 7-4, you get 7–13 10–5 1–0 victories and it bugs me!

It’s an irrelevance which will go the same way as Question of Sport.
To ignore City’s achievements is childish.

My first thought was that looks good for us winning team and/or coach of the year if they've had to throw them this sort of a bone to placate them.

We up for team of the year or will it go to a team who didn’t win the World Cup?
