    BBC Sports Persaonality of the Year...
    Who do we fancy?

    Wiggins has to be a favourite.
    Murray, Ennis, Farah in with a chance?

    Forgive my typo

    Murray or Wiggins, because they have both gripped the nation in the Olympics, as well as in the major championships for their sports.

    I can't see anyone other than Wiggins to be honest. TdF and then Olympic gold, nevermind working hard to get Cavendish his stage win and gold medal attempt. Maybe if Murray had won Wimbledon it would have been a different story...

    Ainslie, Trott, Hoy and Pendleton might have had a chance had it not been such an exceptional year.

    Ainslie definitely deserves it, although it will probably be Wiggins

    If that thing about the Wiggins - Piers Morgan clash is true then it has to be Bradley. Anyone who has a pop at Piers Morgan deserves some sort of reward.

    Murray?! Who on earth would choose Murray? He's still failed to win a Grand Slam, he's still number four in the world, and the only tennis title he's won apart from the Olympics was Brisbane (ATP 250, hardly big).

    Aye but he beat Federer for gold and had a little cry when he lost at Wimbledon. The public lap that **** up.

    Wiggins is absolutely nailed on for it. First Brit to win the TdF and tops it off with another Olympic medal.

    My sports personality of the year list. However in reality I think Farah's ethnicity will prevent him from winning

    Hoy
    Murray (3rd)
    Ben Ainslie
    Peter Wilson
    Wiggins (2nd)
    Ennis
    Brownlee
    farah (winner)
    Jason kenny
    Laura Trott

    Don't think the BBC are known for their racism... Does it go to a public vote?

    What are you on about? Lennox Lewis, Kelly Holmes and Linford Christie have won it before...

    Anyway:
    1. Wiggins
    2. Farah
    3. Ennis.

    This one's got a poll


    And Wiggo's winning by a country mile. Or, more accurately, by about as much as Wiggo wins by in a time trial.

    I say this because Farah and Wiggins are similar in stature, but Wiggins will get the votes because lots of people tend to vote for people with a similar background. I personally would vote for Farah as I think his achievements are slightly greater than Wiggins. I think Farah will win the Laureus world sports award over Bolt, and Wiggins will win Farah in the Sports Personality ... time will tell (this is unless murray wins the us open which is extremely unlikely)
