Can't we just give it to Sea the Stars? Hes way out in front of any human achievement - or would he qualify for Overseas and then be up against Usain Bolt?
|
|
By:
No, too soon after the last horse won in 2006
|
|
By:
Tweddle wins gold in gymnastics.
|
|
By:
who???
|
|
By:
Beth Tweddle. came 2nd or 3rd in SPOTY a couple of years ago. will do a turn at the SPOTY awards do. Real contender.
|
|
By:
Yes, on @350.
Important afternoon for Button. Jess should be favourite if he fails to trouble the scorer and Barrichello wins. |
|
By:
only 3 possible winners...
Ennis, Button and now Tweddle Not winning a gp since june is against button, for me is between Ennis and tweddle |
|
By:
Tweddle 3.7 to place.
|
|
By:
Tweddle and Ennis may take votes off each other :(
Its open now, but its mega open if Button losses the title. Although I'm on Ennis I really think she is going to go too short if Jeson loses the F1 title. |
|
By:
button on fire today shgould wrap up the championship today
|
|
By:
Button has just won World Championship
|
|
By:
4/7 to win spoty is one of the greatest lays of the year imo.
|
|
By:
Tweddle andd her braces SEETHING
|
|
By:
jenson will win. he's a nice white boy and he did it on the beeb
|
|
By:
too bland taking part in a boring sport. The BBC will really have to sell him during the edit for him to get enough of the popular vote.
|
|
By:
the public love a bit of bland
|
|
By:
it was a complete non event.
the GBP know it.the Beeb know it as well. whoever does a party piece at the live show will get more votes. which one can play the piano ? |
|
By:
Not sure, but Beth Tweddle can eat an apple through a letterbox.
|
|
By:
that'll do ...CHAAARGE :)
|
|
By:
a total of £2 wanting to get on at odds on...on his big day :D
|
|
By:
Shame Tweddles win came on the same day as Buttons but gonna be fun with her and Ennisin the book
|
|
By:
Button may well win, but I don't think it helps his cause that he has limped over the line, that his GP victories were in the early part of the season and that he was crowned GP champ in Brazil (surely a race too early)?
For what it's worth I believe the value lies with Ryan Giggs. The first question is - will he make the cut? It is anybody's guess but the decision is made by national newspaper sports editors and in such a weak year I believe they will want to include a number of sports people who have had good years and great careers. If Giggs makes the cut I believe a momentum will gather behind him - genuine sportsman, tremendous career, playing some of his best ever football, one club man and generally popular with football fans countrywide. Please feel free to mock. |
|
By:
lg - i was actually thinking along the same lines yesterday so no mocking here
|
|
By:
Giggs has zero chance imo, and rightly so. One of the most ridiculous Player Of The Year awards ever when he won that gong at the end of last season.
|
|
By:
The very definition of the award - Awarded to the sportsperson "whose actions have most captured the public's imagination" gives selectors scope to include "non-winners" - in Giggs' case I would have thought a special Achievement Award (i.e. Piggott 1984,94) more appropriate.
Dangerous to go too red though maybe.. |
|
By:
No mocking here. He can certainly count on a couple of big blocks of votes in the welsh and the prawn sadnwich brigade.
IMO i'm looking at him for next year at a big price (this is certainly inviting mockery). English footballers will be far too short and as a cynical english fan - we're not going to win the WC (although this doesn't mean an english footballer won't win). I think man u will win the prem as chelski will fall away once the ANC begins. If man u do some kind of double and he decides to bow out the press will be all over it. You heard it here first. FW |
|
By:
Its now or never for Ryan..as it's an incredibly weak year.
Not without a shout..if,and it's a big if,he got on the final 10 list. There are several definites. Button Ennis Tweddle Strauss Flintoff Cavendish Murray so only 3 spaces free imo. David Haye,Carl Froch,Tom Daley close as well. |
|
By:
Phillips Idowu too.
|
|
By:
dean macey too
|
|
By:
lol...no need to set the watch again :D
|
|
By:
The Giggs thing - surely it's sports personality of the year, always about what someone achieved during this year, and in that case he should have zero chance?
|
|
By:
Flintoff a definite? Since when aa?
|
|
By:
Button
Ennis Tweddle Strauss Cavendish Murray Khan Idowu Daley Plus 1 for me. Not much space to go around |
|
By:
Wiggins should be in there for me, but I can't see it
|
|
By:
it was just a quick list ,gb :)
|
|
By:
Hayes rather than Khan if he wins his fight next month ,others agreed.
|
|
By:
Other one a world champ winning swimmer maybe.
|
|
By:
Khan defends early December epicurian. Debate is whether this is in time to remind the writers about him. If not you could well be right with Hayes.
I just can't see room for Giggs and the like. A poor year perhaps for the big players, but plenty of individual achievement. What about the lady cricketers? Like I said before a lifetime award for people like Giggs and McCoy is well overdue |
|
By:
Even Phil Taylor ;-)
|
|
By:
Horse racing and darts are minor sports and not pushed by the media . However well deserved I would be surprised if either were nominated. Football being the nations major sport may well get one nomination. Giggs maybe looking at his consistent support in tke market.
