sports personality of the year

[strooood]

mourinho has clearly had more impact this year in everything he has done than rafa benitez, there's really no argument whatsoever

if it was benitez vs mourinho anyone that said benitez is probably just trying to be clever and anti chelsea- which seems like the new anti man u.

I hate ellen fucking mcarthur I want to inflict much pain on her

  have to ask why though...

Because she got made a dame for deciding to sail a boat around the world or whatever   She chose to do it.  Could just think of people that are more worthy!! Sorry, I am getting old, you have to have the odd rant every now and again!!

wasnt even a funny bit .. and Mourinho coach of the year?? since when was winnin the Premiership better than winning the European Cup, Ashes or 6 Nations??

CRAP CHOICE!

I think that's fair enough. Winning the premiership is definitely better than winning the champions league,  Plus it's personality and Mourinho is a great personality.

The Premiership is just a stepping stone to winning the Champs League,surely Ben?

The premiership is much harder to win than the champions league,  you have to perform for a whole season not just a ferw matches and the standard of opposition is often higher, the premiership is the ultimate prize in English football, winning the champions league is just a bonus.

5th place for Liverpool last year was pretty poor and although they have improved this year Mourinho has clearly had a far more impressive year, winning two trophies.

My favourite bit is always the highly impressive list of British world champions - no disrepect to the people involved, but how much competition is there to be world champion in wheelchair curling???

It was rubbish this year - too much sentiment and cheese rather than playing clips of sports footage  

It's been like that for the last few years - note the name change.

It used to be "Sports Review of the Year" which incorporated the personality award.

It's now "Sports Personality of the Year" - its become an awards ceremony and is nothing to do with sport anymore.

It's been getting worse for years, and this year was the worst yet...

 Quite right.....its because the Beeb doesn't have the rights to any decent sports anymore.

   To be fair I haven't watchd it for years, as I detected this trend, but this time I thought because of the cricket I'd tune in.....

  .....doubt I'll bother next year.
