I think Alistair is very unlucky to be overlooked. He's dominated his sport more so than most of the others on the list.

Ah well, it's the thought that counts (as we tend to say at this time of year).

Comedy hasn't hit Gateshead yet mate.

Big question is who will replace Claire Balding for Challenge Cup & World Cup coverage on the Beeb?.

Mark Chapmen didn't look bothered when he hosted the Autumn series, and hope to hell old oil slick on legs (Inverdale) doesn't cover anything on our sport.

Damien Johnson maybe should get a run with it with Tanya Arnold doing the touchline reports.

i remember reading at the the time of announcement that of the 90 days racing C4 will be showing, she will only work on 50/60 of those days.

Thought Chapman did a decent job on the Autumn Internationals. Just linked the people who knew what they were talking about together and let them get on with it.
