    he is an "arrogant little twerp who hates the english" as many a scot do.. but now skinny Andy has built big biceps - he showed us all yesterday you know - we should respect him. the butt headed twonk.

    Good tennis player mind you and just our luck that it will be a scot who hates the english that might win Wimbledon one day after such a long wait.

    I loved alan wells. he was my childhood hero. did he hate the english does anyone know? i can then have my dreams shattered.

    The odd thing is, I have met many Scots who say they "hate" the English. But what they actually hate is the English media, especially when it comes to sport - so when I point out that the vast majority of us hate them too, and explain why, they realise we have a lot more in common than they think.

    They are fed up with hearing about 1966 they say, I just point out that if they had won it would be just the same from them (no-one has ever denied this) and that they have banners saying "Remember Bannockburn" at games where they play England, if they want to go back that far, they can hardly have a go at us for remembering something that happened a couple of generations ago...

    But the w*nker was happy to ply his trade and earn his money in England and lap up the adoration from the English fans week in week out.

    so you watched it then?
    why did you watch it if "its tennis"?

    i thought it was very exciting - even if it was a scotsman who hates the english.

    spent a few years with some scots in hong kong - sat there watching them chear Turkey, then argentina in france 98 etc. gets right on my goat when i have always cheered for any scots/welsh and naturaly irish being a fair bit irish myself.

    t'was an excellent game of tennis.

    Hopefully now Mr Murray will retract his statement as he only won because of the English crowd who clearly rattled the frenchman.

    I will say HOW anyone from this Island can support a frog against anyone from here be it Scots welsh, whatever needs a kick up the jacksy.

    There's an unseeded girl called Zheng Jie still left in it.

    I reckon we should support her....

    I heard that his anti England stuff was said in an interview with Tim Henman sitting next to him. He was presumably continuing a private wind up. The comment was tongue in cheek.

    I didn't warm to him because he was a miserably spotty youth with a surly/moany attitude on court. Pete Sampras wasn't exactly Mr Personality but he earned everyone's repect coz he was seriously good. Henman was a "decent chap" but he won f*ck all at Wimbledon. I really don't care whether Murray is happy, sad, magnanimous or egocentric. He'll be a hero if he wins - period.

    Binga you herd wrong. Henman was no where near when he said it .Murray was in Joke Land when it was said .

    He may be your hero but he aint mine PERIOD.

    Well GH, who knows the truth? Maybe he said it more than once then because a reporter on the BEEB said that he was interviewing them at the time it was said. He won't be my hero, I was talking about him becoming a public hero. Borg is my tennis hero (even more so now as we have discovered he's also addickted).

    Congratulations to Laura Robson, 14 years old, unseeded and winning the Girls Title yesterday against a 16 year old, 3rd seed.

    Could get a wildcard into the main draw next year at only 15 years old!

    Reading through this thread, seems like not many on here have ever played the game.

    Playing for my club in the North Kent League (two or three matches (four/five sets) per week, mixed and mens doubles during the summer season), I meet numerous fellow Addicks playing for opposing teams.

    It's likely that people who play tennis tend to watch/follow it more than non-participants. It's good for fitness, physical and mental, and good to see as many teenage players as 'old gits' in local league matches!!

    I think Murray might have come to watch at least one of our matches last season.

    My wife thought she had spotted him standing outside the Valley Cafe on the night of one of our midweek home games (Stoke I think).

    I then read last week that one of his fitness coaches is a Charlton fan - and jokes on Murray's website that he's trying to 'convert' him - so it might well have been him.

    How on earth have we got a French umpire officiating at the Mens final. This is Wimledon, the greatest tennis tournament in the world, surely we should have one of our own. It's all wrong I tell you!

    Shame there had to be a loser.

    I've been in the pub for nine hours and watched the first part sober and the last part drunk.

    Absolute admiration for two blokes clearly at the top of their game.

    Great sport.

    McEnroe has said repeatedly that it was the best match he's ever seen.
