Sports personality of the year

Sorry, disco you are right. I'm more interested in actual slams, rather than the dressage that was the olympic tennis.

Tennis in the Olympics is still a joke but there we are. Nothing new, I know.

Murray did beat both and both were trying against him. Again, still think he'll win and fair play to him. Hope he goes on to win many majors and dominates the game. Don't care that he doesn't smile on court.

Hasn't there been a suspicion that a few of these have been rigged in recent years ?

Any chance the Ryder Cup could still make an impact ie Rory crushing ?

i agree, you dont go to madison avenue and complain that the advertising execs arent smiling enouhg.....

tennis is kinda silly in the olympics but at the end of the day he still won and annihilated a roger federer that wanted it very badly.... i suspect he will win a decent few majors going forward, there doesnt look to be many players that are gonna come and chalenge the top 4 consistently and in the next few years federer is gonna decline and the amount of injuries nadal is having (particularly on his legs, is gonna leave the game open to murray and djoko to dominate a lot of the majors imo

Should be an interesting announcement.

I keep on changing my mind about who I think is going to win. I think Ennis makes the top 3 though.

If she does, I would be disappointed, as I don't think she has produced the third best sporting achievement, that she is the third best sportsperson of the last twelve months or that she's particularly deserving against this year's competition.

Previous years, she's top 3; this one, top six.

Would she have stood as good a chance had she not been on every advert for the last six months?

She seems a lovely person and fearsomely talented against her peer group. Would have loved to have seen her against the great Carolina Kluft.

Doesn't it have to be a team sport for them to win the team award?

Wiggins 1.1 to be top 3. Am I missing something or is this an all in?

If you could rely on the British public to vote based on sporting achievement then you'd think so.

But I think the probability a top 3 of Ennis, Murray and Farah is significant enough to worry about at that price.  The Armstrong story might have an adverse impact too on Wiggins' vote as there'll be an element of the general public who'll believe that all cyclists take drugs.

It would be a travesty if he's not top 3 but I'm not entirely confident the public vote will put him there.  If the vote ends up being a 'who they like' not a 'who's deserving' then Ennis, Murray and Farah could well be the 3.

Nah, more people like Wiggins than Murray and don't think it's even close.

Go all in and hold!
