    Off Topic Federer. Best sportsman ever?

    I think it's the likability factor. Win, lose, under pressure or on top he never seems to break sweat, get too wound up or too cocky.

    Aye hadn't thought of boxers actually. Wouldn't say tiger woods was as dominant for as long though.

    Off Topic Federer. Best sportsman ever?

    In an individual sport. Been the best or there about's for 15 years. Easily in my lifetime at least. Can only think of Usain Bolt who's had the same kind of aura about them. Anyone from back in the day more impressive?

    Did we get too carried away / which generation had it better?

    Did we get too carried away / which generation had it better?

    I totally Agree but what's better? Mid table mediorcrity with ****/****ish football - I think that's all we'll or anyone other than the usual's will have until another arab comes along. Or try to change it and go down playing well with a philosophy. Charlton and Leicester are both teams who...
