    About 9 or 10 to 1 depending who you bet with, not bad odds really.

    @bobmunro will tell you.
    May be worth doing doubles as well as a treble !

    A nice win for Reading tomorrow followed by Leicester beating their own Prem scoring record would go down well too.

    Shame we didnt win the World Cup in Russia last year

    I know it got mentioned after we won the Cricket World Cup, saying it'll be difficult for any other Nation to win the big three (Football | Rugby | Cricket)

    But for anyone else to potentially hold all three at the same time, I dont know if that could ever be repeated

    I dont think anyone other than England can win all 3 tbh. Unless SA have a massive improvement in their footy team.

    Australia and New Zealand the same

    Either way if one of those three won the Football World Cup it would be a true fluke (when you take present FIFA Rankings into consideration)

    There is no guarantee that they'd also have the Cricket / Rugby trophies in their clutches at the same time

    2022 World Cup is before the other two, if we win tomorrow we'd have one more chance.

    I mean, fat chance, but it's a chance.

    As pp have said above......we might not be able to win the all in the same year but we might still be able to be the holders of all 3.

    They do that with the 4 major golf trophies. Could win the Open, US Open & PGA  in 2020 & the Masters in April 2021. Therefore in May 2021 you hold all 4.

    My perfect weekend is about to begin -  Baby and Missus being discharged from Hospital tonight (I stupidly agreed to do the night shift for Georgia’s first night at home).
    Just need England and Charlton wins for the perfect hat trick.

    I would be happy to waive all three of those things in return for a win at The Den the following weekend

    Usually I’d be happy to not have my Missus home but not on this occasion mate.

    Must admit I'm the same.  will get my tin hat, but have absolutely zero interest in Rugby and won't be watching it.  That being said, I hope those of you that have/do follow it get the result you want.  I hear it's been a cracking tournament so far if you are a fan of rugby.

    England lose the rugby, tie the cricket and Charlton win is my preference :)

    Ouch.
    You are already wrong with the cricket, as England won.

    Why do you want England to lose Rugby?

    Got odds of 20-1 for England winning the rugby, Charlton to win and Palace/Millwall to lose

    English teams dominated the European football this year, and we had some good results in the athletics. Bearing in mind it's not an Olympic year, there has been some seriously good sport - and even though we lost the asked, there were some great performances

    I don’t follow rugby, have very little idea what is going on but it is England in a World Cup Final so me and missus ESM will be in front of the TV in our PJ’s having breakfast and cheering the lads on.

    Presumably because the media frenzy would be unbearable. It already seems like it’s been going on for about 6 months.

    Our media braying on about this fourth-rate sport is bad enough at the best of times. 

    Plus, as I said before, one of the SA players has my name in Afrikaans

    Plus, it'll be an absolute crock of shit when our ODI cricket team/Stokes etc are forced to share billing with the rugger lot at SPOTY and in the narrative of English sport in 2019 in general

    I assumed you got SA in a work sweepstake. I was furious when France lost to Wales for that reason
