Sports Personality 2012

So people who is your choice.  So many to choose from this year, all worthy contenders too.

My choice, purely for the magnitude of his win in France, is Bradley Wiggins.

Bradley Wiggins for me too. Amazing achievement to win the Tour de France, then follow it with an Olympic gold medal.

Wiggins or Murray

Both achieved outstanding results in the Olympics and outside of the Olympics.

Bradley for me too. Great achievements this year.

Supports Liverpool and all doesn't he?

I believe so mate.

In terms of achievements it has to be Wiggins.

However, my love for Andy Murray goes beyond giving the award to the right person. Come on Andy.

Has to be Wiggins.

  Just watching scum faces when shitty scored the winner in May.

Obviously would have been a million times better if it was us winning but I was over the moon when Aguero scored that goal.

Even though it was Citeh and not us, I'll never tire of seeing that.

Me neither mate.

Fergies face at Sunderland when they realised Aguero got the winner, priceless.

I would like to see a Para Olympian take the award,much difficult for them to achieve what they do.

Just put this on, is that Stringer Bell?

Team GB isn't a "Team" ! Cop out

Just put this on, is that Stringer Bell?

Yes - Idris Elba

Dave Brailsford is coach of the year.

Well deserved.

Echo that mate, he's done an amazing job.

Usain Bolt is overseas sports personality of the year.

Another well deserved award. 

Bolt overseas winner

Wiggins for myself, but I wouldn't mind any out of him, Farah, Ennis or Murray. All 4 are just out of this world. Unbelievable year. First ever Tour de France winner, first British grand slam winner in tennis since Fred Perry 70+ years ago. And of course the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games IN the capital with all those medals. The best year of sport I've ever seen.

Awe little Steven Packer 

Lifetime achievement award for Lord Coe.

Another well deserved award. 

Seb Coe, great achievement and well deserved award.

Lifetime achievement award for Lord Coe.

Another well deserved award. 

Seems like only yesterday when he was only giving that speech to the delegates in Singapore 2005 pleading for them to hand London the Olympic games. Can't think of anyone more deserving for his role in London 2012 and of course his running career.

Go on Bradley lad!! Must be?

Go on Bradley lad!! Must be?

Gotta be mate!

Well done Bradley Wiggins 2012 Sports Personality of the Year.

Congrats to Bradley Wiggins - well deserved winner by far.

Well done to everyone who has been involved in sport generally this year.  They've all contributed to a truly amazing year.

Loving his suit!

Well done Bradley Wiggins. Totally deserved.

Well in Wiggo! 

So pleased for him that he won.

Nice to see we're all paying for the ale afterwards .

Well done Wiggins lad, much deserved.

As much as Bradley deserves the award I really wanted Andy Murray to win but congratulations Bradley.

Also although all the winners were well deserved I thought this year there was an air of inevitability about almost every award and I do like when a surprise or two pops up.

They're saying on Five Live that Bradley won by one vote!

Quite surprising as I would have thought Murray second and Ennis third before tonight.

Jessica does get a lot of media exposure though which would help her vote.

Percentage of those votes for the 1-2-3: Wiggo 30.25%, Jess 22.92%, Murray 14.17%. More on the other nine Monday morning

Not quite the one vote margin they talked about earlier.

I guess you're right there about Jess Ennis but she deserved it as well because she could have been in the media spotlight acting like most other people in the media spotlight but every time she has appeared in the media spotlight she's come across as probably one of the nicest people in the whole world.

Nice to see we're all paying for the ale afterwards .

 

 

  He looks worse than Freddie after we won the Ashes in 2005.

  Aye he does.

He looks proper pissed.

So long as he wasn't cycling home, who cares.

Indeed. 

I'm sure I read something a while back that top sports stars who are very fit and don't drink much alcohol, if any, tend to get drunk very quickly.

Yeah he probably only had half a shandy mate 

He does spend a fair bit of time in the pub though for an athlete.

 

Is he being held up or is he just a flid?

Looks like he's about to start crying.
