“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Why shouldn't Denise Lewis be banging on about Ennis' credentials for the title of SPOTY?...
Lewis was banging on about it the minute she won it and saying that there should be a female catergory.Wiggins deserves it more than Ennis IMO and yes,i dont particularly like Ennis after she didnt compete in the last commonwealth games...she cited the security crap but all other competitors competed.Wiggind won the tour de france,then went out and tried to help Cavendish win then went out and did his time-trial and got his gold...Ennis does her stuff then pulls out of the 110mtrs hurdles....sorry but Wiggins has achieved more and put his own chances aside to help another.

Pulled out of the 100m hurdles??....That would be difficult seeing as she wasn't entered in it....
She is good enough to do the hurdles individual event, but chooses not to, simple as.
I fully respect your opinion on Wiggins and appreciate he is a pretty hot favourite to win it, but, personally, I think there are more deserving winners - I suppose that's the whole point of having a vote?...

There's really no place for the likes of you on Substandard. [/quote:1x8x7ghm]:7098.jpg |

She was to be fair. She entered it in case anything went wrong in the Heptathlon but confirmed pretty early that she wouldn't run in it.
I'm not sure you can be more deserving than Wiggins to be fair - there'll be some miles in those legs! His performance this year is unmatched - what he has done has never been done before by a Brit. He then went out and smashed a world class field to win Olympic gold. All this while actually having a personality (I know that isn't a prerequisite for SPOTY by the way).
Ennis wouldn't even be in my top 3 - that's unfortunate but it's the year we've had. She'd have been a worthy winner most year.
Unfortunately, I think the bad publicity might cost Wiggo a few votes.

Really? I thought it would have been at Media City like last year.
Quote: DAR130 "they show Denise Lewis's face as the announce it seeing as she was banging on about Ennis winning it.'"
The more Jessica Ennis is on my TV screen, the better.

| Slightly off topic.... but,
Going back 2 years I think it's shocking Amy Williams didnt win after taking Olympic gold in the skeleton thingy!
To do that when you have nowhere to train in your own country!!!

All the other top athletes competed in Delhi? The 100m was won by Lerome Clarke of Jamaica with Mark Lewis-Francis second. Must have missed them on the podium in London. Farrah was nowhere to be seen, despite winning the Europeans earlier in the season, Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce wasn't there, despite being World and Olympic champion. Also, she never cited security for not competing, it simply didn't fit in with her schedule, which she states in her book. Given they were in October, outside of the normal European season that sound feasible to me.
You are right she pulled out of the hurdles, saying she was done in after the heptathlon. In doing so she cost nobody a place, as there was only one other British athlete who had done the qualifying time and was eligible to enter.
As for this year's winner I'd agree with you and give it to Wiggins, followed by Farah and then Ennis.

| got 9 out of 12. surprised at kath grainger and nicola adams on there - would have gone for laura trott as a double gold winner and probably brownlee but poulter played a huge role in the ryder cup. ben ainslie - forgot about him at the time i made my predictions, probably would have included him.
ok top 3 time, i'm going for an entirely predictable
1. wiggo
2. murray
3. ennis

True fact, she was at Wembley in a Sheffield Eagles shirt on that great day.
