The Natural Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think the winner will either be Darren Clarke or Mark Cavendish. Alastair Cook has a chance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WU LYF 4 LYF Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd give it to Strauss, thrashing the Aussies in their own backyard and whitewashing India are no small achievements. Plus he's been a great leader and ambassador. I couldn't argue with Cook or even Ian Bell getting it though. Â It would be nice to see Amir Khan win, but he'll have opportunities in the future.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2011 Phil Taylor should win this, like every year. Never does though. Â I'll go for R-Mac to win this year, but I do reckon Sam Warburton could be a crafty outside bet for 3rd or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yes, Strauss should piss this, really, but he probably won't. England should get team of the year, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd like a cricketer to win, Strauss is a good shout. I'd have to figure Amir Kham will make the shortlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maestro Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 There's obviously no chance of it happening, but surely Mario Balotelli should win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 There's obviously no chance of it happening, but surely Mario Balotelli should win this. Maybe the Overseas one, if they still bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Phil Taylor should win this, like every year. Never does though.  Insert 'Darts isn't a real sport' debate here  How is darts not a real sport?  Sweat? Fuckloads.  Need for liquid refreshment to keep going? Defo.  A particular athletic build? Of course.  Bobby George? Plenty of him, with chains.  In a pub? Even when it's not, it is.  Pork scratching? That being a criteria, it's more of a sport than any other.

ajmcstyles Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Id put Jenson Button forward for his great performance this year and specially his race at Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2011 Definitely between Strauss and R-Mac for me. Leaning towards McIlroy at the mo. Shame Sam Warburton didn't get on, but he'll probably win Welsh Sports Personality of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Curious Orange Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Has to be Cook surely if you're going for a cricketer just for the sheer amount of runs he scored in the Ashes? It was an amazing achievement. Nothing against Strauss but it seems odd to me that'd he win it this year when he's had better years with the bat. Depends how you weigh up captaincy against personal success though in the end. Â Don't know if anyone's seem the long list of nominations, but the Manchester Evening News picks are amazing.

Retro Red Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Id put Jenson Button forward for his great performance this year and specially his race at Canada. Â Think McFly, Button didn't even win sports personality in the year he won the championship, no chance he was getting nominated this year.
