How bad your 2020 Year of Sports going?

[Franc de Borges]

Carlton and Tottenham. At least the bottle shops are still open.

 

[Roobs321]

Been fortunate.

West Coast - contending, minimum Week 2 finals expectations | Also living in FNQ fun to see the Lions and Suns up and about and QLD become 'home of football', game attendance still attainable
Raiders - contending, minimum Week 2 finals expectations, and pretty good neutral value week-to-week
Arsenal - Another FA Cup win, this time against Chelsea. EPL 8th and 14-14-10 record is bad by our standards, but not unexpected from a late 10s mindset and still qualified for Europa I guess.
Kilmarnock/Valencia - mid-table, which is fine.
I've also had a soft spot for the Mariners since the A-league began (at least until a Wollongong/NSW South Coast franchise began), and they had a bit of a horror year on & off-field

ATP tour - expected washout since March, but Djoker (my big 4) winning a slam, Barty still being #1 and Australia progressing in Davis Cup all happened.

Sad to see so many classic events postponed/cancelled, but sport hasn't been much of a priority to me this year so I'm not as invested, for better or worse. Getting the Women's World Cup and Leeds being promoted were some of the good stories.

Crows: 0-17 it will be...but hey hey pick 1 so it's not a complete loss

Redbacks: I'm hoping the season is called off otherwise it will be another wooden spoon

Redlegs: lift boys, it's all on you!

Oh, and I've been to 5 games this year, so not a complete loss

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Liverpool FC...life's good
Melbourne Victory...shizanhowzan...board needs to take a good hard look at itself for hiring recycled coaches and players
49ers...robbed in the SB
Port in the AFL...job not yet done
Port in the SANFL..N/A
Williamstown in the VFL...N/A
Storm...second but nothing more than a premiership this year will do given the last two finals campaigns
Boston Celtics...okay, slightly better than 50%
Adelaide 36ers..disappointing

Hammy off the bone surfing a few weeks ago.
Cant wait for 2020 to be over

 

[Handsome_Jack]

Port flying at the moment
Villa stayed up which is a win on the year
AZ Cardinals havent started the season yet but Hopkins is a BIG recruit and Im excited for another season into Kyler.

 

[werdna78]

Lions going alright.
Fulham won promotion to the EPL.

Happy so far...

 

[windyhill]

Essendon, frightful.
Arsenal, apparently the FA cup is no good, as tottenham fans tell me who have done * all in decades. Can’t work that one out.

 

[Rickee]

Pretty happy with how the Saints are going, have exceeded my expectations.
Western United will make the finals at the first time of asking, which is a pretty solid achievement.
The worst part for me has been that the VFL and BFNL seasons were called off, so no Port Melbourne or Redan games to enjoy.

 

[Count Zero]

AFL - Adelaide (2017 promised so much, failed to deliver then fell of a cliff culminating in a likely winless season)

Premier League - Newcastle United. Decade of hell, relegations culminating in promise of an uber rich takeover this year that fell through.

NBA - Golden State Warriors - fell off a cliff and now not even playing.

NHL - San Jose Sharks - spent a decade and a half promising and falling short fell off a cliff this year.

NFL - Jacksonville Jaguars - straight back off a cliff last year, not much hope for this year.

NRL - Cronulla Sharks. Meh. Might make finals, won't make an impact if they do.

A-League - Western United. Decent for first season but meh.


Anyone else's teams across codes as diabolical as this in 2020?

Nice thread Greenac, original and fun. In that spirit, may I ask if you are really good at picking losers or are you the "kiss of death" to teams that you choose to support?

 

[PAFC_1870]

Port, Lakers on top, F1 still boring, no issues

Brady rejuvenated....

 

[Kickpuncher]

Not bad at all

Port - Sitting top with a good chance of finishing top 4
Manchester United - 1 win away from a Europa League final, and qualified for Champions League
Cleveland Cavaliers - Another development year, but has easily been the most fun non LeBron Cavs team to watch in years.
New York Jets - Ehhhh I mean cant be a perfect list.

 

[Count Zero]

Liverpool - Trophy is in the bag
Port - So far, so good (fingers crossed)
Ronnie O'Sullivan - At time of writing, he is ahead in the semi-final (fingers crossed again)

Having supported all (except Western United of course) for 20+ years I can't give myself that much credit to assume I had anything to do with their downfalls but it would be right in the playbook of the sporting Gods who do like to regularly * with me so maybe I accumulated a fair bit of bad karma (can't imagine how...). At least in a few years I can look back at 2020 and laugh about how it was such a campaigner of a year in the sporting sense and outside of sport too.

Sidenote, I've finally given in to Formula One and I love it, cannot believe I never gave it a chance before. I don't think even my current sporting bad luck would stretch to cursing Mercedes if I picked them.

I was so desparate for sport that I was watching Marble League.

 

[The Final Word]

Geelong: on track for the annual let down on Prelim Final weekend.
Celtic: 9 in a row sorted. So long as French Eddy stays we should be good for the 10.
Rest: meh

Had a mate who's two main teams are Geelong and Buffalo Bills. The 1990's were not kind.
