Why? Just cos someone is from the same country as you then you have to want them to win do you? So what about bands then - should I be a fan of The Wanted or One Direction just cos they're British?

I don't like Murray but I'm pleased for him that he's won. I ****ing hate Lewis Hamilton and never want him to win.

It's the competitive nature that is the difference.

I'm not saying that you can't be a fan of other players but if you are not a massive fan of a particular opponent I would expect practically all British people would want him to win.

I think it would be similar with the Eurovision song contest. Most people wouldn't be a fan of anybody but they would still want the UK entrant to win.

Am I alone in wanting the whole Eurovision song contest bilge to be permanently flushed down the khazi?

Well I'm clearly not most people cos I don't automatically want my compatriot to win and if Bonnie Tyler had won Eurovision I would've been appalled.
 
Now this tournament is over its darts on TV... sigh :( ........ roll on the football season.

It's about national pride.

Something you seem to be missing out on.

Why do you hate Lewis Hamilton Exactly?!
 
In all fairness I wanted him to lose.

If an Englishman was playing in Scotland would the locals claim him as one their own and scream his name?

Would they ****ers like.

Tennis is ****e anyway and I have no idea why I felt the need to get involved in this thread.

That is all.
