Here is last year's winner. Totally undeserved IMO.
Anyway, I have had a look at this year's betting and cant see a stand out candidate.
Betfair have:
Andy Murray 3.7
Monty Panesar 5.4
That Cunt from Little Britain 13.6 &
Steven Gerrard 15.5
England had a crap World Cup. No major shocks as far as the league or Champions' League so I cant see a stand out candidate in this one. Murray is up there because he has had fuck all competition thus far. Anyway, with the Ryder Cup just around the corner - I look at some of our golfers and cant help feeling they are worth an outside punt.
Surely we have to win the Ryder Cup on 'home' soil ??
Monty @ 30 seems a bit obvious for me. We have Luke Donald at 44 and Darren Clarke at 27.
I cant help feeling that after everything Darren Clarke has been though this year, 27 seems a big price for him. A good tournament and surely he will be hot favourite to scoop the award? The press would love it, bouncing back from tragedy etc etc. They would have a field day with the whole thing and would virtually guarantee his winning the award...
Thoughts?
