Mo or Wiggins for me
They had the hardest tasks, the compertition in their sports was the best of the best.
Both were first Brits ever to do what they did
All the people on the shortlist deserve to be on it but in some instances
Jess Ennis for example she was the favourate and it was more hers to lose, still great achivement though

I think what also needs to be taken into account for Wiggins is his change from track to road cycling - it would almost be like asking Usain Bolt to switch from 100m to the marathon! Good to see paralympians nominated, about time! |

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

| Bradley Wiggins, no contest.
The firs Brit to win TdF and doubled up with Olympic gold.
The TdF is the hardest endurance event in world sport and on top of his acheivement he's a top bloke AND interseted in RL,
That's a tick in every box possible - Vote Bradley Wiggins  |

to say its "no contest" is going a bit far lol. Obviously would be a worthy winner but so would about 10 others

I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

| Quote: Durham Giant "Just when you think she could not get any better she is on the front page of the Guardian at the weekend with quite a hot girlfriend/ wife then on Breakfast this morning as they are discussing the SPOTY she mentions all the great sportsmen who are not in it and mentions
Kevin Sinfield of Rugby League.
Always gives the game a plug ( as did her girlfriend who talked about how Clare takes her to RL matches)'"
A few weeks back she was hosting Have I Got News For You (I think it was the week after the Grand Final) and she made a reference to Paul Woods unfortunate injury and commented that RL players were real sportsmen much to the bemusement of Ian Hislop who clearly hadn't the foggiest what she was talking about.
Never thought I'd see RL get a mention on HIFGNY. She never misses an opportunity to paint the game in a positive light and she is by far the best media outlet the game has. |

"Warrington Wildcats prop forward Paul Wood" gets a mention in the latest issue of FHM's sports roundup of the last year.

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

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.

Quote: "The deal with Channel 4 is non-exclusive so Balding, who has been linked with a presenting role for a new sporting chatshow on the BBC, will still be able to work for the corporation.'"
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.
