Erm what???? Head to head record reads Murray 8-7 Federer!! Murray may seem a moody bastard 99.9% of the time in interviews, but heck i'd be exactly the same, some people dont like to be centre of attention and i'm he doesn't like a camera thrust in his face every 5 minutes. Let him do his talking on the court where he has plenty of personality but knows how to control it! Also many of you calling the Scottish biggots, i'd re read your posts!
unless my maths is wrong, its 76 years since a British man won the singles (Fred Perry, 1936). Not that it makes any difference. By coinidence the last British singles winner was Virginia Wade in 1977, the Silver Jubilee year.
Murray?......pompous prick? Get your priorities right. I don't follow tennis, either, but why should Andy M lose/suffer because of some 'pompous prick'?
it's not 74 years in the making... We've never won the yellow at the tour de france http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...kes-lead-role-as-history-beckons-7922449.html YET!
I could care less really, but credit it too him its some achievement. He gets loads of **** for not winning but he's up against 3 of the greatest players of all time. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/te...-Martin-Samuel--Give-respect-Andy-Murray.html See him in a new light after reading this.
The comment was tongue in cheek. I don't think for one minute we would get to vote. It is unfair that the ~5,000,000 people that happen to live north of an arbitrary line get to have a say in The Union and the ~50,000,000 (10X as many) people wh live south of it, don't get the same. But since when has politics and goverment had anything to do with fairness? Its all about maintaining power for those who already have it and keeping the rest of us happy enough that we don't do anything to change the status quo.
i just read a comment from Frankie Boyle about Andy Murray. Apparently his facial expression is normal for any Scotsman who doesn't eat chips!
Thanks for posting this. Excellent article - ( and at least we've been spared all those 'England expects' headlines that the press here, especially the Daily Mail, like to roll out!) I really hope he wins, but my head says Federer will do it.
Exactly!! the great thing about online newspapers is that you can see the odd gem like this without having to read the rest of the rubbish in there!! And for rags like the Daily Mail you don't have to put money in their pockets.
IMO Martin Samuel is the best writer out there. Read his back catalogue of articles, has a West Ham bias which is his only flaw really. I know BCC disagrees with me on this but i like him. He has highlighted some of the obscene shenanigans of our Olympic selection panel brilliantly.
Come on Roger !! As a kid I'd supprt all UK teams, but when I realised how churlish and miserable the Scots are... Unfortunately this reduces me to their level, but christ they are a dour people. On the subject of Scots independence, the English should get a vote as well... I'd like to vote for it.
StanIsTheMan..... I consider all media people who come out with the classic " the whole nation" line as being pricks. just a couple of weeks ago some one came out with " the whole nation" will be celebrating the queens jubilee... wrong again because i sure wasnt as i couldnt give a toss about the royals neither could thousands of others.. im sure the whole nation wont be supporting Andy Murray which is what was claimed on the bbc. also iv a bet on murray to lose by 3 sets to nil. the pompous prick remark was not aimed at Andy Murray as someone else pointed out.
