How can it go to Lewis Hamilton? (which obviously it will)

Surely this award should be for winners?

latest odd.....

Lewis Hamilton 4/9 - won nothing
Ricky Hatton 7/4
Joe Calzaghe 14/1
Paula Radcliffe 25/1
Justin Rose 100/1 - won nothing
Christine Ohuruogu 100/1
Jonny Wilkinson 100/1 - won nothing
Andrew Murray 100/1
Jason Robinson 100/1 - won nothing
James Toseland 200/1

There is no justice if Hatton or Calzaghe does not win this award.
These 2 have made Britain proud.

JT - 200/1 just because wsb is not as popular as formula1? That cant be right

Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's not the winning that counts, but the taking part?

Besides that, it's the Sports Personality of the Year, not Winner of the Year.

And I was sure that Lewis Hamilton won in Canada, the US, Hungary and Japan plus a whole load of other podium finishes.

Paula Radcliffe didn't win the World Championship this year (nor did she win the World Marathon Majors title) so why aren't you slating her?

That could all change over night if Hatton wins the fight.

Paula is not even in the equation if you look at the odds.

On your conclusion, i best take the 'not won' off the rubgy guys also as they won a game of rugby, but not the competition?

Well after last night, it has to be bloody Lewis now doesnt it. Rolling Eyes

What's wrong with Lewis winning it? For being the only Brit in Formula 1 to do anything remotely worthy of mention since 1996? Well and truly making established drivers look silly in his rookie season? Being the first black F1 driver ever? By remaining calm under pressure? By raising Brit F1 TV audiences two fold and actually making people tune in? By being generally cheerful and enthusiastic about the sport he competes in? By not being an arrogant cock?

No, I can't think of any reasons for him to win it either... Rolling Eyes

Would be great if Toseland won it but unfortunately that's unlikely.

And at least a fvcking nancy footballer won't win it this year...

Jason robinsons deserves it i think. A true English legend and an international rugby heroe. Despite his age he is still playing and returned for one final world cup even though he had retired.

Sure all the other candidates have achieved something but out of all of them jason robinson is probably the most modest sports man and under-rated sportsman. He was a key player in winning the 2003 world cup.

Jason Robinson FTW
