The_Rev Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The shortlist is going to be announced tonight and guessing who is going to be on that is probably going to be more interesting than guessing who is going to win. Unless I'm missing something fairly obvious, Andy Murray is absolutely nailed to win it, isn't he? First British winner of Wimbledon in eight thousand years or something. Who else though? Chris Froome - Tour de France winner. Mo Farah - 5k and 10k gold medals at the world athletics championships and nicest man in sport. Gareth Bale - Token footballer. Great season, world record transfer. Ian Bell - man of the series in the 2013 Ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2013 Gotta be Murray. And even though I like the bloke, that'll surely be the dullest "personality" to ever win it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yes its going to be Murray. Farah must be the unluckiest sportsman because he probably should have won it last year with the 5k and 10k double and doing the same in the world championships. Any other era of sport he'd have won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Murray is absolutely nailed on - although Farrah is the more impressive IMO and actually in possesion of a discernable personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I hope to see Zara Phillips winning it again. What an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other era of sport he'd have won it. To be fair, you could probably say the same about Murray winning it last year. A gold and a silver medal, a Wimbledon Final and the first male British Grand Slam winner since 1936. That would be easily enough to win it in any "normal" year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody could out dull Michael Owen, surely? Edit: I didn't read the later posts, so just a second vote for MO!

Folski Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Surely the fact Mo has beaten the cube is a better achievement than winning Wimbledon. Wouldn't rule out Tony McCoy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
