Its that time of the year when SPOTY takes place beginning of Dec .

Who do you want to win and who do you think will win ?

For me i want it to be like this

1.Chris Hoy
2.Rebecca Addlington
3.Ben Anslie

Team of the year

GB Cycling Team

Coach of the year

Cycling coach

Overseas SPOTY

Usain Bolt

Young SPOTY

Emily Simmons ??

But think Hamilton will win , Man Utd will get team with ORN getting coach and Phelps winning overseas.

I think Hamilton's achievement is huge, but on this occasion, at this defining moment, Chris Hoy should get it.

Our greatest Olympic games for a century shouldn't go unnoticed, and he was at the forefront of it all with the three golds.

It follows that I think the GB cycling team should get the team award too.

Bolt will get the overseas award I think, and hope.

I think its too close to call between Hoy and Adlington. But I would like to see Rebecca Adlington win it.

Kuyt should get it ! Seriously. He has overcome criticism, the death of his father and continues to donate extra money he makes to charities to make people who have a less fortunate life better. He gives 100% in every game he plays and for me is to the only sportsman who has some sort of "personality" that makes him human.
Hamilton for me is a t0sspot who took his money and ran. I couldnt care less what he achieves he has the money to give back but wont.

Probably more to do with the fact that he's the youngest ever, proved himself over the course of a season (two even, if you count last year), he's only in his second year, he's the first champion from this country for 13 years and he's the best and most exciting driver around.
