100% kevin Sinfield ...that's one man that deserves a knighthood  for all he's done for his oppo and for the man he is
'Becks' ..who gives a fuck.
Totally agree. What a guy. Hard as nails, humble as anything and totally selfless to put himself through a shitload of pain for his best mate and others who are suffering. Proper salt of the earth and the right stuff. No self promotion or agenda whatsoever.

Sol fucking Campbell. What's he done apart from being a pro footballer and won a couple of trophies. Do we just give them to ALL sportsmen now. He's not had a TV career of note afterwards. He's just a self entitled cսnt. Who is actually calling for this?

Sol should get a knighthood for services to utter bellendery.

Didn't West Ham cause him to not come out for the second half because he was getting torn a brand new one?

Its not often that an english club that wins an European trophy, rarely with a British manager. It's a major achievement. I know he is no longer an employee, but I don't understand why the club aren't making a big deal of it? They usually milk every positive story about west ham.
Bit strange.
Moyes' contract probably has a clause in it requiring that Sullivan gives him nine-pence every time his name is used in official club communications following his contract termination.

Sinfield accepted a CBE, one below a knighthood.
I think he has to wait 2 or 3 years before it can be upgraded

The honours seem to reward failure these days, I mean what on earth has Khan done to deserve a Blue Peter badge let alone a Knighthood?  Khan getting one and Kevin Sinfield not says everything about the state of this country right now.

Sir sadiq khan
sir Stephen fry
dame Emily thornberry. 

oh fuck off. How cheap is one of those becoming now?

while I don’t think Southgate’s is quite as insane at those, it’s becoming a fucking low bar now.
