Re: Sports Personallity of the Year 2007
Sadly i suspect Hamilton will win it even though the team threw everything away and cheated.
Lets face it F1 is the most uncompetitive motor sport there is, proved by putting a rookie in the best car and then doing so well. No denying he has talent but its the car that has competitive edge, no o much the driver.

Re: Sports Personallity of the Year 2007
If Hatton wins next Sunday morning he should definately win it with out doubt but i don't think he will win it whether he wins the fight or not. Hamilton will win it but he shouldn't, he did well but i don't think he is great yet, if he has a repeat season next year then maybe he will deserve it.

Re: Sports Personallity of the Year 2007
Calzaghe probably deserves it but despite his achievements he suffers from not having the sort of mass popularity outside Wales that the huge audiences on terrestrial TV (enjoyed by the likes of Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank etc. over the years ) would have guaranteed him.
Hatton could well have won had the result last night been different.
I'm no great fan of F1 but Lewis Hamilton is a huge talent and has just the right image. IMO he would have walked it had he won the F1 championship but could still do so. Yes he had a great car but so did the reigning champion Alonso and Hamilton was a rookie.
Hamilton gets my vote just and given our abysmal record in tennis Andy Murray would be my outsider.

As he is, along with Toseland, one of only two World Champions in the nominees, it would be wrong not to give him the credit for that.
- however the rest are making up the numbers, a little, in my opinion, which I think is what Incog was alluding to?

Correct!I was merely alluding to the fact that there is very small field of successful competitors this year..sadly.
