:lol: Yet we go hand in hand on the cricket field. We are possibly one of the most bizarre regions in the whole of the world. How is it that many many countries have managed to split, yet we still operate under the guise of Britain? Perhaps we are more tolerant. Hell, even Cornwall tried to make...

A mutual dislike of each country? :lol:

:D That is what I was intending to post in the first place. Your strong opinions rile me, there is nothing wrong with that!

I am not very tired, so I thought I would pass the time with a healthy debate. Also in the news... BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Hugging benefits fractious chimps :jester:

I realised that. I was just debating for the sake of debating. Plus you seem quite easy to draw into a debate. Actually, you annoy me a bit or at least your opinions do. :D I will always support the home nations unless they come up against England, but then I am half Welsh, so perhaps my...

Tsk. You don't deserve to call yourself an Englishman.

You did not make that clear, CB.

How about being bold and supporting them if you want to rather than 'I won't because they don't'?

He is the British sporting hero. Just as the whole country were cheering on all those Olympians that were representing Britain. Did you not raise a cheer for the Scottish Chris Hoy when he won his three gold medals?

Clearly, although there is the odd exception. Sir Alex Appreciation Thread - North Stand Chat

I have already disowned the English football team, so that is a good start. I feel a greater affinity towards Murray than I do with the cretins that pull on the three lions. They do not represent what sport is about. I like the banter between the Scots and English. It is all playground stuff...

Double post.

Did his cruel words against the English football team, rile you that much? I thought it was quite amusing personally. It certainly speaks volumes about those cretins who sent foul messages and death threats to his blog. Some people take things far too seriously.

I would not mind being humiliated in the last set of a grand slam against the world number two, at the tender age of 21, having beaten the world number one the previous night...?

Indeed. I am not quite sure how the other Grand Slams would have played it. Certainly a handicap right from the start. Both physically and mentally.

Murray looks knackered and is not picking his shots sadly. Maybe the moment is getting to him as well? We know Murray can beat him (leads 2-1) but Federer obviously has a little more experience of finals. Looks as though it is going to be a whitewash now. Shame.

His legs are looking weary. A shame that the weather/scheduling means that Federer has had an extra days rest.

Belittling the man that carried British Tennis for over 10 years and was partially responsible for bringing on Murray? :nono:

Well, he was the last time they played. I await the rematch with intrepidation.

I didn't realise that Nadal has played 375(ish) singles matches in his career, compared to 175(ish) for Murray. :ohmy:
