Sports Personality of the Year 2012

[Dave Cooper please]

my 'all on Drugs' line was tongue in cheek by the way.

but seriously i hope another bike person doesnt win tonight, the cyclists have a big following bit like fishing, but one winner every few decades or so years is quite enough

i'm not taring all cycle fans with the same brush but are they all 'trekkies' favourite comedy 'big bang theory, all wearers of North Face sleeveless jackets and probably go out for a 40 mile cycle ride on Christmas day during the queens speech to blow the cobwebs away ?

that Wiggins seems OK, but is there a more boring sportsman alive than Cavendish, and i'm including Murray

or am i being a touch disingenuous

Cavendish has a very dry sense of humour, but hey, you may be right about his personality, he does come across as a bit 'focused'.
Either way, Wiggins not only has a good personality, he has also done something that NO Brit has ever done before, something that makes him stand out even in a year as amazing as this was.

Ryder Cup team for team of the year?

[Jon Crofts]

In any other year the Ryder Cup team, but Team GB will walk it surely?
Just so long as the lottery wining chavs from Stamford Bridge don't get a mention I'll be happy & hopefully Corinthians will have seen them off well before tonight.

[Jon Crofts]

Really?  You should be ashamed you even know that

[Legion]

Not watching live then?

[john e]

I won't  be to badly naffed of if Wiggins wins it because he seems a decent bloke for a cyclist,
 but 2 in the last 2 years is just a Bit much

[Jon Crofts]

John, look at how British cycling has come from the relative wilderness to the dominant force it is today, that's why cyclist win it.

[TopDeck113]

British Cycling, first on the track and now on the road, is quite possibly the greatest sporting success story from these islands in the last 20 years. That's why Hoy, Cav and, quite probably come this evening, Wiggo will have won SPOTY.

Cycling is no more of a minority sport than tennis or athletics.

[Legion]

That Posnan scene was cringeworthy.

[Yossarian]

Cycling is no more of a minority sport than tennis or athletics.

Not anymore it isn't. Wiggins, Cav, Hoy but especially David Brailsford have seen to that.

I have normally avoided Sports Personality as most seem to lack personality but I thought this year I will watch it what with everything that has happened but even with a plethora of successes it is still an incredibly tedious programme.

[lovejoy]

A bit of harmless fun, cringeworthy was Andy Murray. The blokes starts at downcast, completely misses out angry and ends up at dll and dour.

Cycling in a velodrome is just pants. Super special bikes weighing an  being ridden by physical freaks. Sorry just no correlation to real life something that a classic Olympic event must have. On the other hand Road cycling is great.

Why must a "classic Olympic event" look like real life ?

All sport at the highest level bears no relation to anything the rest of the general population could do.

Indoor cyclists are no more physical freaks than, for example, international Rugby players, Olympic swimmers or......... Christian Benteke

Overseas SPOTY has got to be.............
