Jenson didn’t jump ship Brawn is no longer and Mercedes wouldn’t give JB the same contract as Nico Rosberg so no wonder he found alternative employment.

Staggered that Ryan Giggs won I mean what outstanding achievement did he get this year. I could have accepted any of the other eight winning over Jenson (just) but Giggs winning made a mockery of the SPOTY who on earth decided he warrented a nomination. I did try hard to get JB to win don’t think hubby will be too pleased with phone bill when it arrives. Like last year the real winner came second.

It seems clear that BBC SPOTY is as outdated as our dear old Sue. What’s needed is a house that all the SPOTY contestants are put into with cameras to watch them interact with each other 24 hours a day for 12 weeks. They’ll be set various tasks to do and in return they’ll get food allowances based upon success. At the end of each week they will have a sing off followed by a public vote that evicts one of the housemates…only then will this old chestnut stand a chance of making a dent on XFactor ratings.

“This is what you want, this is what you get”,
a lyric by John Lydon (Johnny Rotten).

The tune that goes with it is wonderful. Its also used as the closing theme to the awesome
low budget (£1 million) sci fi film “Hardware”,
which is a bit of a cult classic.

Cars, Racing? Oh sorry, just drifted off there…

Make that both are not worthy, Button is better. But still no British talent in F1 is going to be worthy enough to match upto Football.

Hamilton? what a joke. Since when did liars have appeal?

Well, iam happy he lost. He is a rich tax dodger and a driver who has never enthused alot of people. I for once was happy that giggs won….and iam an arsenal fan. Button doesn’t do anything for me iam afraid.

Giggs is a very worthy winner and very deserving. He follows a trend in recent years with people winning after many years at the top (Calzaghe 2007) and Hoy (2008).
With regards to F1 you have to say that it is very healthy in this country at present. Second for the last three years is some going. Football has been in the top three once as has swimming, athletics and cycling. Boxing has featured twice in the same period….

I don’t think the cycling forums would have been strong enough (or organised enough) to get Cavendish into the frame for the top spot, but I would have been pleased if he’d won it. He’s had great year, and in le Tour he was just MIGHTY! In fact, there were several candidates this year who could have justifiably beaten Jensen, including Haye and Ennis.

But Giggs?? Surely not?
