Sports Personality of the Year
I made this!
I made the promo for SPOTY (which is tonight).
This is almost certainly the wrong target audience, but I think it came out okay.

Top drawer.
Also, if Wiggins doesn't win the award is basically a farce. Just sayin'

I'm amazed that Pendleton isn't on the list.
She should be - not least because she does seem to have a personality.
I'd go for Farah, with Wiggins a little behind him.

I think you might be right there
As it's a public vote, Farah will inevitably win.
But in terms of actual achievement no one can touch Wiggins. He won the 2012 Paris–Nice, the 2012 Tour de Romandie, the 2012 Critérium du Dauphiné, the 2012 Tour de France and the time trial at the Olympics, receiving the Vélo d'Or award for best rider of the year. He is the only Britain to win the Tour de France in its 109 year history. He is the only person ever to win a grand tour and olympic gold in same year and has won seven Olympic medals, the most won by any British Olympian.
Farah's Gold is a walk in the park in comparison to the Tour alone. It's just a shame that a cyclist won it last year!

As a public vote, surely Murray will win?
After all he'll have legions of grannies backing him.

I think Farah captured the nation's hearts a lot more than Murray.
Murray has a lot of haters, which I never really understood. And Wiggins can be rather smug.

It's really close between Wiggins and Farah.
And after the TdF, I predicted that Wiggins'd get it. Maybe it's because I'm an ex-runner and I've got an inbuilt lean towards that, though, but I'd back Farah.
But - yeah. It's homeopathically close.

Possibly. It's going to be a really close call.
This is the first time in my life that I've taken the remotest interest in SPotY. It's been the first year in which I've taken any real interest in sport at all, or being British.
Something strange happened with the Olympics, though. Not only did I give a toss: I also enjoyed it.

urgh,she's an awful, emotionally unbalanced princess with no self-awareness. Has a row with her coach and boyfriend, breaks a glass and has a melodramatic episode then has the gall to promote her book on the back of her recovery from self-harm, something she has never actually done. Ghastly woman.

oh please.I couldnt give a rats about SPOTY, but to give it to her would be patronising nonsense.

It's good
up until the point of the strapline bit at the end, as really all the excitement is over and SPOTY is probably only exciting to those who are there, rather than watching Mo Farrah win a running race, or watching Pistorious do a run.
