S.P.O.T.Y.

Not convinced about that. There are an awful lot of people who don't like him because they think he's cocky and arrogant.

It should be called W B C. Who Bloomin' Cares. OK if a Chris Hoy ar Cav wins, nice and all, but hardly important. The majority of viewers won't have much of a clue anyway, outside a glance at the Olympics.

 

[Noodley]

Agree with those who say it's all a lot of tosh.

I am surprised it is still on the go - the likelihood of the winnrer actually have featured on a BBC sports programme diminishes by the year, soon it'll be SPOTY that you have no chance of having watched on this channel: SPOTYTYHNCOHWOTC, snappy!!

plus one....

and unlike Cav she actually won....

FWIW Tom Simpson won it after he won the world championship

(It was before I was born but I saw it on the documentary!)

 

[Nearly there]

I predict a golfer will win simply because the beeb covers golf and not cycling so my top 3 will be 1. rory mcilroy 2.that cricket fella 3.Cav poss third spot unfortunatley, i hope im wrong.Phil taylors never won it and look at his record.

No chance for Cav. The SPOTY BBC coverage will be skewed away from Cycling

 

[Winnershsaint]

Are there two worst broadcasters in the world than Alan Brazil and Ronnie Irani. Just caught the former describing the prospect of Cav winning SPOTY over the two golfers as a complete joke. Reckons it's all down to some form of 'poilitical' correctness. (Wasn't that why AP McCoy won last year, didn't here these two jokers complaining about that). He cannot understand it. His reasoning was; "who on earth watches cycling for god's sake?"
Rich coming from an injury prone ex-footballer and a wannabe England test cricketer, both of whom never reached anyway near, or even seem able to comprehend the heights of achievement Cav has attained.

Very British attitudes going on here as usual. Most people who ride bikes are too tight to cast a vote anyway.

Cav for me and I enjoy the program, celebrating success just good old entertainment.

 

[Pottsy]

I'll be watching, I enjoy the program, maybe a bit self indulgent but entertaining none-the-less.

I'll be voting for Cav of course but I predict a podium for him and Mo to win it.

The Bookies don't agree with you Pottsy.

Cav in region of 2/5 on, Darren Clarke 6/1, Mo 14/1.

I'll sit and watch and cast my little vote for Cav, and keep me fingers crossed.

Let's hope the bookies are right (much more likely than me predicting it!).

Absolutely

You and your attitude come out of this thread looking good though.
