Someone who’s done nothing to deserve being liked/unliked but have managed to cause those emotions from you anyway is the objective here. A ‘proper reason’ person would be Adam Johnson for obvious reasons so he wouldn’t count for this thread. Likewise Grant Holt for being a Budgie wouldn’t count.
Might make for an interesting thread for a Monday morning.
Like :
- Jamie Vardy. Just seems a bit crackers. His windup of home fans at away games when he scores is amusing too.
- Brooks Koepka. No idea why.
- James Wade. See above.
- Kevin Pieterson. Again see above. No reason whatsoever.
Dislike:
- Lewis Hamilton. Always found him arrogant and just can’t take to him.
- Steve Redgrave. Once heard a story of how he refused to do an interview unless each question was started with ‘Sir Steve..’. Weird.
Go.. *
*This thread is in association with Peace and Love, Peace and Love. Have a good Monday TWTD. [Post edited 2 Aug 2021 7:39]

I've recently discovered that I quite like James Guy. Crying tears of happiness because his mate won a Gold, then winning Gold and Silver himself.
Dislike Rio Ferdinand, arrogant pr1ck. |  |

Like - Jos Buttler, always been desperate for him to do well in test cricket, couldn’t tell you why.
Dislike - Bradley Wiggins, always found he comes across arrogant.
Just on the Redgrave thing, I did an interview with him a few years ago as a student and he couldn’t have been nicer and I definitely didn’t refer to him as Sir Steve. |  |

Like:
Gary Neville: Think he's a fantastic pundit, and his views non football related seem to be those of a very grounded individual.
Dislike: Naomi Osaka - don't warm to her one bit, and this was all before the mental health episode-- and that didn't help because I think she went about that in a bad way and also striking that fellow professionals weren't 100% supportive of her actions compared to someone like Simone Biles.
I think Osaka has a bit of the bad loser about her unfortunately and just doesn't like awkward questions if she has played badly.
Always appears bit miserable and moody, even when opening the Olympics
Also don't warm to Novak Djokovic one bit. |  |

Like: Will Sharman - British hurdler who gave brilliant interviews from the mid 2000s to the early 2010s. He wasn't outstanding as an athlete, but he was the sort of underdog with character that you could get behind.
Dislike: Tim Henman - Blandness personified. I get it was slim pickings before Andy Murray rocked up but I could never get excited about Tiger Tim. I always preferred Rusedski and just didn't have time for Tim. Now they've both gone into commentary and don't really rate either of them. Give me Cash and Becker any day. |  |

I have a bit of a dislike, one which might be unreasonable - you decide, for any athlete who competes with the advantage of theraputic use exemptions for drugs.
For instance Simone Biles, who can't perform without ADHD meds, or Bradly Wiggins and his asthma treatment.
For me, if you can't compete without the benefit of drugs you should probably just accept that you aren't meant to be a top class athlete. | |

Mo Farrah - genuine down to earth guy
Dislike - Max verstappen , Sebastian Vettel - both whinge like mad when they have done to them what they do to others, if you can’t take it then don’t dish it out.
Robbie Savage - just a troll

As a child in the 70,s early 80,s I could not stand Rolf Harris or Jimmy Saville even though I'd never meet them. Hated Jim I'll fix it, couldn't watch Rolfs cartoon club. Clearly as a small child I was a feckin deadly judge of character... |  | | |
