BBC Sports Personality of the Year

Who? I think it will be Adlington, with Hoy second.

I think the credit crunch has come at the wrong time for rich-boy Hamilton, and his lack of an interesting personality doesn't help, but the boy done good and he might snatch third.

Hmmm... I thought Hamilton was a dead cert? Looking at oddschecker it seems not.

Rich-Boy?

I think he means that people are more likely to vote for someone who has the common touch rather than someone who earns £20m for driving round in circles.

Credit crunch innit.

Why would Adlington be preferred to Hoy? He won more medals and was part of a cycling team who were incredibly successful.

I still think Hamilton is a good shout though.

Well Hamilton comes from a Stevenage council estate, you can't get much more common than that.

Between Adlington, Hoy and Hamilton I think Hoy should be given the award.

The title Sports Personality of the Year always makes me smile; the majority of them don't appear to have one.

OJ has got a lot of personality

Rich-Boy?

Yes, what gingerjedi said. I've got nothing against him, but Formula One and it's obsession with money isn't getting good press at the moment.

Some people will compare Hamilton's £30 million a year with Adlington's £15,000 a year, many think Adlington's achievement was greater, Adlington has more personality...

Hoy got one more gold medal than her.
