Is this Murray's year to win Wimbledon

[peterward]

British Tennis = England national football team.

thought the same myself, The Evertons.................... handy enough, plucky also rans who can beat the lower ranks and give better opponents a game but will never beat those top opponents to the crown

No. Quarters or semis before he loses comfortbly to one of the far superior Federer, Nadal or Djokovic partly blaming some injury or another.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

For anyone interested, Ms Robson is doing rather well at the mo against Schiavone - about to win the first set.

Edit : And there it is, 6-2. She's looking pretty good (tennis wise), and so is Heather Watson - who I think might get better than Robson.

I hope not, i hope gets knocked out in the first round, he is scottish and also has slagged off english fans before but we still stupid enough to support him, more fool us.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

also has slagged off english fans before

Firstly, he didn't slag off the fans, and secondly IT WAS A JOKE. Jeez - how many times !

 

[chucky1973]

in a word no. get to semis and then get battered in 3 sets by nadel in under 90 mins. Same story different year.

No he didn't (That time of the year again).

Brilliant.

Also, i assume in the Olympics you wont want ANY scots to win?

Well, that's inappropriate.

 

[Bladders]

Had to vote ''who cares'' Until they go back to wooden rackets and head bands it'll just be a snore bore, I mean who wouldn't rather watch Connors vs McEnroe.................even now.

 

[tooting2]

1 in 8 as it goes

there you go no chance...................................lol

 

[brakespear]

Couldn't care less about tennis mostly (except in how it pertains to [MENTION=13959]TheBlueAndWhiteStrips[/MENTION] avatar )

 

[Paddy B]

Well, that's inappropriate.

Are you going to buy me a new keyboard, after I just spat coffee all over it reading that!!!!

oh it clearly still works

 

[vegster]

Is this the thread that has been bounced annually for the last 5 years ?

I concur

 

[melias shoes]

Come on nail your colours to the mast before the tournament gets under way. I expect a repeat of the last few years. Flatter to deceive and fall flat on his face when he meets a big gun, out with a whimper rather than a bang.

No, never will.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Maybe if they draw AFC in the Johnsons Paint cup.
I dont think he will even win at Selhurst.

As for the Scottish git................no chance there either

Yeah, funny how it suddenly became a 'joke' when he realized his comments had lost him the support of millions of English fans.

The interviewer was talking to both Murray and Henman. The interviewer ribbed him saying "Are you going to be supporting Scotland in the World Cup?" knowing full well that they hadn't qualified (again). So he then asked him who he would be supporting and Murray said "Anyone but England". The papers then latched on to him wearing a Paraguay shirt ad finitum. Incredibly pathetic that people sent death threats and are still upset about what was a bit of light hearted banter.

He can't dislike England too much. He lives here and his girlfriend is English.

This gets trotted out every year and it was the ridiculous red tops that took in upon themselves to misrepresent the whole interview.

 

[Marmaduke]

Don't care really. As soon as he'd gone to Palace, I'd lost all repect for him
