Don't you just hate those double barrelled posh names .iainment said:I don't think any of them have much in the way of personality.
Nick Skelton chortle.7 -
I'm a fan when he's running, but that is a strong listSuper_horns said:
Not a fan?i_b_b_o_r_g said:Mo
I'd reckon he would be favourite to win if it wasn't for Murray..
But then again he doesn't seem to get the votes going by past results.0 -
top three should be 1... Mo Farah, 2... Mo Farah and 3... Mo Farah2

Give it Giggsy to the end of the year1
-
Forgone conclusion this year, which is doubly impressive given the strength of competition.
We should be proud that the days of Owen, Beckham and Giggs getting the award because we didn't really know who else to give it to are gone for now - let's enjoy it greatly whilst it lasts.

Murray an absolute shoe in. If he doesn't win it's a fix. Or a gingerist conspiracy.1

Wimbledon & the Olympics are two of the remaining things BBC have the rights to - he'll win !Sillybilly said:Murray an absolute shoe in. If he doesn't win it's a fix. Or a gingerist conspiracy.

Of course he would of, he is the Wimbledon Champion. Again.Leuth said:If Murray hadn't lost to Nishikori in the US there wouldn't have even been a shortlist, so we can be grateful for that I guess
Still favour him, but Farah, Skelton and a couple of others have a shout.
Willett would have had a better shout if he'd injured himself putting on the Green Jacket and missed the rest of the golfing year1 -
Murray must be a shoo in, I would reckon that more women than men vote on this kind of populist poll and the females just love sexy Andy .. those legs ((:>) .. that is unless the anti scot brigade all vote for Mo - the most deserving in my opinion ... this is an excerpt from Farah's Wiki entry: VERY impressive and unlikely to ever be repeated
The most successful British track athlete in modern Olympic Games history, he is the 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medallist in both the 5000 m and 10,000 m. He is the second athlete in modern Olympic Games history, after Lasse Virén, to successfully defend the 5000 m and 10,000 m titles. Farah also completed the double at the 2013 and 2015 World Championships in Athletics. He was the second man in history to win long-distance doubles at successive Olympics and World Championships, and the first in history to do the quadruple-double0 -
Murray -- Brownlee -- Kenny0

Murray edges it over Mo due to the competition he's faced to get to where he is. The average person in the street wouldn't be able to name any of the other runners Mo faced in the Olympics, whereas Murray has had to battle with some of the all time legends over the last few years to get to number 15
-
Who have all fallen away but Mo has had to get better to keep his challengers off. Arguably.
But Murray has to perform more consistently through the year.0 -
Baffled that Froome isn't on the list.4

Forgot about him... Should surely be ahead of Vardy at leastiainment said:Baffled that Froome isn't on the list.

Mo would beat Murray in a race but Murray would be fit enough to clock a respectable time.
Whereas Murray would slaughter Mo across 3 sets.
Take from that what you will.2 -
Same with Brownlee against Farah...Fiiish said:Mo would beat Murray in a race but Murray would be fit enough to clock a respectable time.

He can do a 10,000 on the road in a respective time yet thats after doing a huge swim and bike ride!!

Whilst in London 2012 there were just two minutes separating the two of them...

I guess it's not taken into consideration, but this is the last year Farah can win it. Murray has few years left to win it another year.
Even without that, feel Farah deserves it more.0 -
Nah! Theres loads more that are equally misunderstood.Leuth said:

Well, as long as I'm not being understood, we should all get on fine

I'm fit enough to run the same distance as Mo Farrah, over the course of three or four weeks. But he'd never beat me at Wii Golf. I'm not sure why I'm not on the shortlist frankly.Fiiish said:Mo would beat Murray in a race but Murray would be fit enough to clock a respectable time.

Not popular with the public at large, and for that matter not very British! I wonder if the Wiggins allegations have tarnished the image (again) of endurance cyclingiainment said:Baffled that Froome isn't on the list.
