Tell you what the bookies gonna have a field day with that one!!
Both would deserve it.
Reckon Wiggins might just have her beat but you never know! I think either would be the most deserving candidate in a while.
Are they?
My admiration for the man has just grown some more. Good boy!
Was thinking Wiggins no contest until about ten minutes ago...
maybe they should swap sports and see who does best?
A 'Superstars' special event, it's the only fair way to decide.
Squat thrusts and penalties against Peter Shilton, the whole works.
Matt
I'm thinking I'd rather see Ennis doing the "squat thrusts" than wiggo!!!
Wiggins has an Olympic gold.
Ennis has an Olympic Gold.
Both are great people.
Hmmm, what else would decide it??
Think their should be a Female and Male category .
Wiggo winning TdF on top of a gold medal.
no one british has one the T d F
No one has won the Olympic TT and the TdF in the same year
ennis will probably win though but she won Gold like lots of others have [ still impressive obviously]
if Jess grew side burns it'd be game over
In all honesty as much as I love Ennis and have done for a long while (think the moody mrs will verify that) I think that wiggo edges it purely for the destruction of the field in the tdf!!
Both worthy, but Wiggins the first Brit to win the Tour just tops it for me.
What a week though for the Brits really enjoyed the Games and we seem to have pulled off a good show. I wish Paul Mcartney would go away, he is becoming the Cliff Richards of the Games.
Come on the Brits
Both are equal in there own fields, Just admire
I think they might call it a score draw.
At the end of the day ennis is fit as ****, wiggins is a bloke and skinny!
She's crying during the anthem. Sure fire certainty to win 🙂
Ennis corporate. Wiggins bast*rd against the french
Ennis is far to skinny in my book to be a fit bird
the way its gone over the last few years my money is on Wayne Rooney....
Ennis is far to skinny in my book to be a fit bird
never has a man been so wrong 😉
at least it won't be a golfer.
Good point brakes.
Wiggins I reckon, he should make it far enough away before she gets the Javlin, so long as she doesn't get him with the discuss really.
at least it won't be a golfer.
This is probably the most important consideration
😉
Wiggo should, Ennis will. But really both deserve to!
Manager of the year - Brailsford by a country mile.
Could team GB get the team medal or is it a bit too broad a spectrum to be considered??
Andy Murray will get it as he'll have double golds this time tomorrow and will go on to win the US Open.
Ennis probably, face of the London Olympics and beyond, got gold in big big style. Didn't just cruise home in the last event, she smashed the field, to raise the roof. Most of the UK general public don't care that much about the tdf, as we might want/like to think. Both humble, down to earth and lovable. Ennis understandably cried like a baby and everyone loves that stuff. The whole stadium singing the national anthem from their lungs, not mumbling it as usual etc etc.
Either way, I don't really care about SPOTY, for both it will be like awarding the keys to Swindon to a Nobel prize winner.
It'll depend on who votes. Last year Cavendish won it with almost half of the 342,000 votes cast. The runner up had about 40,000 votes. An organised cycling "lobby" could galvanise enough votes to put it Wiggins's way as long as he is the only cyclist nominated.
how quickly we forget:
Bradley Wiggins - first ever TdF winner, Olympic Time Trial gold medalist and greatest British olympian based on medal tally (unless Hoy goes nuts in the next few days!)
Jessica Ennis - One gold medal..
Am I missing something, I knowshes theface of the olympics, and its a hard earned medal, but what makes it any better than Wiggin's, Farrar's, the rowers etc...????
Unfortunately it seems people just expect the track guys to get gold now, they didn't even include the gold on the run down of todays medals on the news headlines tonight..
Ennis is far to skinny in my book to be a fit bird
😯
Is that an oxymoron? I mean, have you [i]seen[/i] that girl's [i]abs![/i] You don't do what she's done carrying twenty pounds of excess flab.
Jeeze... 🙄
Skinny bird? Really?

All depends if celebrity rules over personality
bigdawg - MemberAm I missing something,
Yes, the general public vote.
Could team GB get the team medal or is it a bit too broad a spectrum to be considered??
The entire olympic and paralympic team won the award in 2000
tough call... olympic rowing team or olympic cycling team? (or athletics? for which we've not seen much yet)
My money is on the whole olympic/paralympic team if it's a pretty decent haul.
Bradley Wiggins - ...greatest British olympian based on medal tally (unless Hoy goes nuts in the next few days!)
Hoy winning a medal in the event where he's finished first in all but one of the World Championships he's competed in (in the other he was second) is going nuts?
Anything that happens in a stadium is tiddlywinks compared to what Wiggo did for three weeks across France in July. If you don't know that you're not a cyclist.

Which sums up about 90% of the voting public.

Yup - it's about personality not achievement- the clue is in the title
BBC News last night - big lead story on the athletics, followed by the rowing. Then came Syria, a murder story and as an aside at the end... the cycling.
People only care about cycling because we are winning things. If we are winning in other areas, cycling drops down the list.
How may of the 6 million people who applied for velodrome tickets (apparently) are the same people who complain cyclists shouldn't be on the roads? A fair few I'd imagine.
I say give it to Ennis.
Only on the basis that...
If Wiggo is not that bother by a knighthood, he probably couldn't give a monkeys about SPOFTY.
If Wiggo is ambivalent to public recognition someone should have a word with him, may be the messiah himself Brailsford, the opportunity for not just cycling but British sport as a whole should be capitalised on by the greats such as Wiggins and Co. The UK should nail home these successes. FFS we are third in the medals tables and we have a population of only 60 million, look at the those in our wake.
