Andy Murray

No as the job is not done yet. He may smile if he wins the final until then he is still working at that objective. If only our other British Sportspeople had the same attitude we would not be such a bunch of losers.

Ok then. No smiling or excitement or joy if we reach the play off final next season Poyet.

Thanks. Seriously- I find your threads very entertaining and North Stand Chat would be a sadder place without them.

Thanks mate. I am marmite.

Murray is the best British sportsman we have, but people don't like him because he's boring/Scottish/moody. How pathetically British.

Disagree. He's the fourth best in the world at what he does.

Mo Farah, Chris Hoy, and others are the BEST.

What you don't mean Somalian Mo and Scottish Chris imagine the bin fest when they compete in the summer when people realise they are not from England

Great to see Andy make it, big applause to Jo Tsonga too

OK. He's one of the best. Point stands

Yes but he is in the final at Wimbledon. Surely worthy of a bit of a smile?

He fell to his knees and had tears in his eyes when he hit the winner. That not emotional enough for you?

If Feddy turns up and plays well, it won't matter how good Murray is. He's not as good as Federer.

Even though he's beaten Fed more than lost. Admitedly not in slam finals.

looking forward to it. hope the Murray haters bore off and watch something else instead

That's true, but Feddy over the years has highlighted tournaments that keep him at no.1 and others he's tried different tactics etc. also of those is what Murray wins.
Feddy goes back to Number 1 if he wins. Could Murray do that right now?
Murray might win, nothing against the guy, but IMO if Feddy turns up and plays well Murray won't win.

It's a difficult one to call. Fed is favourite, and rightly so, but it could go either way. It annoys me that if Murray does lose, it will give more ammunition for the Murray haters, even though he would have lost to possibly the best player to have ever played the game. I for one hope he wins.

Being 4th best in the world is a great achievement, but we must have dozens that are better than 4th.

I actually like him, and I don't think he's either boring or moody (just a bit straight in interviews, particularly mid tournament).

I think the reason a lot of people dislike him is they misunderstood his piss take when he said he wanted Portugal to beat England at footy.

4th best in a truly global sport though. That counts for a lot
