Rooney, Vardy or Bronze?

Murray basically won the Davis Cup by himself.

In a GOOD year of sport that would make him a contender.

In a pretty poor year it makes only him and Jessica Ennis as possibilities. Murray's stunning performance concluding in late November also will keep it fresh in the mind.

Yes, Yorkshire's favourite multi millionaire girl next door has certainly had a lot on her plate in the last year with her numerous sponsorship commitments to multi nationals, dodging the testers and building her own 45 bedroom Palace up in the Peak District to be able to run about a bit and chuck stuff.

Pavey and Clitheroe last year were far more compelling contenders if you are looking at inspirational ladies returning to work from maternity..........lets see if chemical Jess can succeed after No 3.

Tyson Fury should be a WALKOVER but won't be because he's a nasty opinionated gobshite, with zero chance of polling enough votes in what is essentially a popularity contest.

Good as scoring in 11 matches in a row is, I don't think it compares to having a baby, coming back and becoming world champion again as Jessica Ennis-Hill has done. Murray and Hamilton have already won it the last two years, Froome is a worthy contender but is not as inspiration a figure as Jessica.

For me it's Ennis, Froome, Murray in that order.

A 'pretty poor' year?

Really?

In 2015, we have regained the Ashes, won the Davis Cup for the first time in 80 years, won numerous swimming and athletics World titles, won our first gymnastics World title, the Formula One World title, had the most succesful ever Women's World Cup and now have the heavyweight Champion of the World.

What for you would constitute a 'good' year!?

You started your reposte having a dig at the fact Ennis has made a few quid - who cares, apart from you? Anyway, whatever she's earned it's a drop in the ocean compared to the woeful defenders of Newcastle Utd or the toothless strikers of Aston Villa and she deserves what she gets.

I get that there are other quality female athlete out there but Ennis excels in SEVEN different disciplines, her all-round ability marks her out. This means when she practises she doesn't just spend time in the gym and then go on a long run, she has a daily regime of practising at 7 different disciplines and then going back home to look after her kid.

A quick remender to all, that YOU are legally responsible for what you write on line.

I'm assuming you have some inside knowledge to back up your serious allegations?

Thanks, but I am merely reflecting the recent stories of the state of world athletics, which is in a terrible state largely due to the consequences of wide spread doping.

Sadly clean athletes are caught up in this storm, and if those at the top were as concerned about doping as they were abot feathering their own nests, then public confidence maybe restored.

Banning the Russkies is just bullying, at this point it may be better to just let the atheletes dope.

That story says it all though doesnt it............

"Jessica Ennis, golden girl of London 2012, now has a luxurious new home to go with her medal."

With sponsorship deals pouring in, the champion Olympic heptathlete has swapped her £330,000 semi for a £1 million property.

The brand-new four-bedroom house has scenic views over the Peak District and celebrity neighbours include former England footballer Chris Waddle and cricketer Michael Vaughan.

The sandstone property includes a huge kitchen with porcelain floors and bespoke granite worktops. There is a billiard room, three receptionrooms and a stone-flagged “entertaining terrace”.

The triple garage should comfortably accommodate Ennis’s five-litre £78,930 Jaguar XKR, given to her as part of a sponsorship package.

Ennis came second to Tour de France winner and Olympic gold cyclist Bradley Wiggins in BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday at a ceremony at ExCeL, where she wore a £2,450 Victoria Beckham dress. She is said to be on course to make £5 million in sponsorship deals after her stellar Olympic performance.

“She plans to install electronic gates so that fans cannot knock on the door,” added the source.


Sports Personality of the Year..................I should coco.

Cunning Fergus sounds like a jealous athlete who got caught doping.

Why the hate for one of our best ever athletes? To say she's a jack of all trades and master of nothing is bloody harsh.

If Mr Fergus has a job I bet he's mediocre at it. Give him a couple of tasks and he'll fail. Kinda like a labourer saying he's a builder....

Ridiculous attempt at a swerve! Your post was aimed at one particular athlete and worded to imply that you had knowledge or, at the very least, had heard stories that she had evaded testers and also that she 'chemicals' in her system.

I suspect that if she or her lawyers saw that they would consider that to be libel. Unless of course you have evidence.

1. "Mum has baby and gets bigger house" shock.
2. Recent winner Andy Murray's annual income dwarfs that of Ennis.
3. Last year's winner Lewis Hamilton's annual income dwarfs that of Andy Murray.
4. Other winners of recent memory - Beckham, Giggs, Zara Phillips weren't short of a few quid either.
5. Is it coz I iz black?
