So, Sports Personality of the year is gonna be a bitch this year, isn't it? Murray Wiggins Farrah Hoy Weir Simmonds Ennis McIlroy and not a shitty overpaid footballer amongst them, either. |

I was thinking the same. I really can't choose out of that lot. Just give it to them all! |

After the dust has settled, and the sentiment removed... I think that Wiggins is the most sensible choice in essence. Although I wouldn't begrudge Farah winning it. |

I can't choose really. But I think Murray might just edge it for me. I stress the might. |

Don't you need a personality to win? That counts Murray out. It's not just because he's a scot who hates the english (which is a lie of course) but because he's plain boring - and he won because his arch rivals were not there to defeat him - hence why he couldn't win wimbledon and never will win wimbledon. Still convinced Federer let him beat him in the olympics because he's a nice guy and was concerned for his mental wellbeing following the wimbledon showdown. Mine would go to Ellie Simmonds because she's a powerhouse of emotion and achievement or Bradley because he's not just amazing at his chosen sport but because he's the most shaggable (and has an incredible life story to boot) |

On an achievements basis I’d probably give it to Murray. Started the year with that incredible semi final against Novak at the Australian Open, and then came through one of the toughest draws you’re ever likely to see to make the final at Wimbledon. Bounced back from that huge disappointment to beat the world number one and two at the Olympics, then rounds it off with last night’s performance. Sadly though he’s not great at getting his true personality across to the public is he, so ,on the basis that his acceptance speech will be a car crash, he’s out. Wiggins has had an incredible season from start to (almost) finish. To see a Brit win the TdF is something a decade ago you would never have thought possible. However, it was a Tour with a profile that was tailor made for Brad; he was surrounded by the strongest team; four of the very best riders in the world were absent and a fifth, Froome, looked potentially stronger but was prepared to put the team first. Putting all that to one side however, ultimately I don’t like his sideburns, so no trophy for you Bradders! McIllroy supports United so he can piss right off. Farrah, top man, great achievement ...but I’m well and truly sick of the MoBot! You can’t collect an award if your hands are glued to your head so strike him off the list. So all things considered, my vote goes to the dancing horse. Clip clop. |
