    Murray will win, how long have we waited for a Men's Wimbledon winner?

    Murray is 28 to one ON with bookmakers. Farah at 4/6, Froome at 3/1. Think its a one horse race

    How long have we waited for a Men's Wimbledon winner? We haven't. Elitist snob sport.

    Everybody can have a crack at running.

    The Somalicockernee chap who lives anywhere sunny wins everything!!!!!

    No Brit will ever equal World Champion at 5000, 10000, Olympic Champion at 5000, 10000 AND run faster than Cram Coe, Ovett at 1500 could.

    Mo Farah would be my choice, but a lot of what he achieved was last year.- I am proud to say I have ran in the same race as him (Great North Run). He came 2nd and I was a
    bit further back!
    Most of what he has done this year is in Preparation for Marathons. If he wins London next year, he will get SPOTY 2014 for sure

    Murray won Wimbledon this year which makes him favourite I guess

    In which case I go for Frankel.

    Actually, does it have to be a human being?

    I thought the World championships was this year, BUT I'm often wrong.

    Marathon reckon the chap is just yet to take it that seriously, toes in the water and still second.

    Ran 10k in 36 minutes, ran half marathons in sub 1.25 and I can't do one lap at the pace he runs 1500 metres to 26 miles ... Never seen anything like this Moman never ever will again.

    To be clear - I think Murray will win, but I will be voting for Farah

    Overseas I would go for Usain Bolt

    Team of the year is another category.

    and so on ___
    rides with dislocated, shoulder amongst other things is young and English (apart from some time spent down under) and gets little publicity (relegated to Eurosport) Perhaps the BBC could look at covering the sport???? they have bugger all left.

    Totaly agree - I was at Cardiff when he broke his collar bone the first time.
    Bet Sky are kicking themselves - they drop the Grand Prix coverage and we get a British World Champion

    Serves Sky bloody right. Just hope that Eurosport can do it justice next season.
