    Admit I'm being aggressive but I'm tired of the anti-Murray bullshit, he makes one throw away comment and people just hammer him constantly. He's an awesome player, light years from anyone we've had for aeons and people still can't appreciate him.

    And trying to use band-wagon jumping politicians as another stick to beat him with? Fuck off.

    Oh and I don't think he should win SPOTY, Wiggins should. Winning the Tour is a massive achievement.

    How does it "pale next to xxx"? Do you think it's easy winning in Formula 1?

    For one thing - surely winning the WDC twice (should he do so) would make him even more deserving? Not the opposite which for some reason you've gone with.
    It's sports personality OF THE YEAR. The other three I mentioned (among many others) have won more than one thing THIS YEAR. See?

    No, I still don't see how it "pales" next to anything. And I'm not saying they're not bigger achievements than Hamilton's possible one (this is all subjective by the way).

    Just think your hyperbole is a little unwarranted is all.

    Pale may be a bit strong, but then so is claiming what I said is hyperbole! In a normal sporting year becoming f1 world champion would make you a major contender, but this isn't a normal year by any shot. Hard luck for Hamilton maybe, since as you say he can only win one thing, but that's just the way it is.

    If Hamilton were to win from the position he was in before this weekend, it would be a hell of an achievement.

    They really should rename it to Sportsperson of the year.
    Personality has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

    Murray or Wiggins IMO. Either would be ok with me.

    I have always assumed the 'Personality' bit is more about their personality on the field of play in their chosen sport (passion, desire, determination, winning mentality etc.)

    Is F1 considered a sport?

    What about Ben Ainslie - isn't he the most successful British Olympian ever now? Probably won't happen though as sailing isn't as popular as athletics and the like. I wouldn't mind seeing Murray or Mo Farah win it. And how about Jess Ennis? Those multi-discipline sports must be some of the hardest events of the Games.

    I still think a Team GB accumulative commemoration would be appropriate.

    First choice for me would be mo farah for two out of two golds in an event we've had nobody at the top level at for years.

    Second - Jessica Ennis because she's hot.

    Last choice - Murray because he's a foul, obnoxious cunt. Nothing to do with being Scottish. He's just a cunt.

    Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

    I'm glad you're not in charge of the voting. Wiggins will win, we've never had a TDF winner from Britain, never mind anyone 'at the top level for years'.

    I like Murray but he has the ability to win Wimbledon, let's not reward him yet.

    This always amazes me, in every interview he is modest, polite, intelligent and respectful with flashes of humour yet gets so much bile from morons who think he's a cunt because he doesn't smile enough when he's working his arse off to win at the top level.

    It'll be Murray or Wiggins, for their Olympic golds PLUS winning big outside it with the Tour de france and the US Open.

    But then how can you begrudge if Mo won or Jess won, you just can't. They all deserve it.

    Heh! I remember this moment
    After trying and failing to get him to describe the match as a rollercoaster of emotions, Richardson brought up Murray's mum and dad, who'd been sitting in the audience. "What can it possibly have been like, Andy, for your parents watching there?" he asked, presumably hoping to prompt a moment of choked-up pride. Murray handed him a cold stone in return.

    "I've no idea," he replied, deadpan. "I'm not really that bothered. It's a lot harder for me, that's for sure."

    And I remember thinking it was one of the best interview answers I'd ever heard. I like Murray's sense of humour. Shame so many people can't see it.

    Not as nice as I used to be

    I would rather Joey Barton won than Murray.
