***The official Sports personality of the year thread***

Back Jess @ 6/1 & pay for Xmas

I hope you are correct. I bet on her @ 6/1 in February thinking I would get a better price. I was wrong.

I wouldn't bet against Wiggins now. Mark Cavendish won it last year and to say Wiggins has done more than him this year is an understatement. Bloody Cyclists.

 

[Marxo]

Strongest list for years but definitely Wiggo for me. The thing I hate about SPOTY is making the 2nd and 3rd athletes come up to accept a meaningless trophy, I find it very embarrassing for them.

 

[Barn Door Billy]

For me it's between wiggins and andy Murray, but as has been said by others, any of the shortlisted would be worthy winners.

 

[Norman Potting]

Wiggins for me reinforced by his musical tastes and acknowledgement of Wilko Johnson as one of his favourite guitarists.

Not meaningless in a year like this one, just like silver and bronze medals aren't meaningless in the Olympics.

Has to be Brad. He has been incredible this year, and not just in the Olympics and the TdF. Very unfortunate for the others that he is at the top of his game at the same time that they are.

Team GB shouldn't be up for team of the year because they aren't a team competing in a single sport, they are a load of individuals competing for a nation.

 

[Bob!]

Would like to see Jess Ennis win it.
Think it'll be Wiggo though.

It would be a shame to miss the opportunity for one last of this:-

36 scored. I guessed Tom Simpson - I am amazed that people even knew who cyclists were in the 60s. But then again, it wasn't decided by public vote then...

Mo.

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Here we go folks, bring it on.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Wiggins, winner of one of the toughest competitions ever, and an Olympic winner too. End of debate.

 

[8ace]

Wiggo as the money is down,
Ennis for the f/c.

 

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

In the style of Red Dwarf
Bradley Wiggins? What a guy.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Mo is getting my vote

 

[Ernest]

Hate this programme, one MASSIVE wankfest and the BBC show hardly any sport now so may as well have a cooking personality of the year

 

[The Modfather]

Fantastic shortlist this year. Wiggins for me

 

[Steve Foster]

I think this year the BBC is fully entitled to be self indulgent.

Would like Mo, Ennis & Wiggins in the top 3

Why ? They show no top class live sport now and I hate Lineker and co with a VENGEANCE

In this of all years, I think a 'wankfest' is fully deserved and should just be enjoyed.

Its been a stunning year, so let's enjoy the recap.
