How can you not take the bait when you have Scotland's National Phallic Symbol as your avatar?
If the bait was a battered mars bar, it'd be a different story

Andy Murray's got more bottle than every English sportsman from the last eight million years put together. Factomundo.
He can have as much bottle as he wants, (not that I agree with the above statement), but he will just never be in the same league as Federer or Nadal.

He struggled in his earlier years with fitness and problems after his body grew so much in his latter teen years, so when people first started to see him regularly, he had issues - he is not the natural athelete that, say, Rafa, is. Since he started a strict and dedicated training regime a couple of years ago, he is now one of the fittest and fastest players on the mens circuit. Of course, some people just hate him for the sake of it or for an offhand joke comment about English football.
Why is Alan Navarro messing around playing tennis - he should be taking a rest so he's refreshed for next season

Murray to win Wimbledon and England to win the World Cup what odds could you get on that ?

So? Is that enough to suggest he'll never win a Grand Slam? (I know you haven't stated it, but can tell you probably believe it).
Federer is nearly 29, Murray is 23. Clearly Andy is going to have many years of playing without having to worry about meeting Fed in the latter stages of a Grand Slam. Nadal, Murray has already proven himself against on the big stage - US Open semi-final '08 & Aussie Open QFs last year, albeit with Nadal dropping out in the 3rd set. He may not have the same winning mentality as the two at this moment in time, but he's already done enough in his career to prove he can cause some real damage in the Grand Slams.
It's strange how a lot of Brits seem to treat Murray due to his slight inferiority to probably two of the greatest tennis phenomenons to have walked our planet. Not a fair comparison to make when judging his ability, he's still a sensational player - consistently competing right at the top of the game.

0 grand slams, he's bottled it every time he's got close. He will do the same again.

I think he will win one of the slams, possibly several, but once Fed goes, the array a talent at the top of the mens game to the moment is quite awesome - I would guess stronger than it's ever been. Any of the current top 10 could win a slam on the right day. It's not going to get any easier for Murray methinks.

Just got to hope that 'right day' comes more often for Murray than it does the others!
