Good lad, total waste of time.

I must have missed his original dig/digs at the British.

Jesus - not this AGAIN. He made one comment IN JEST and has paid for it ever since. He's our most successful tennis player in years and I can't think of anyone more deserving of this year's award.

why would he leave his winter training in camp in Florida where he is working to be fit for the new season to sit in an auditorium in Leeds for a few hours to pick up some tin-pot award

He's in training camp! Interrupting his training schedule to come and collect an award in another country isn't going to help him have the maximum chance of being fit and winning the Australian Open next month, so he's right to give it a miss. Ian Botham and Steve Davis weren't there in person when they won the award either. No big deal really.

There's also going to be the whole "How can Andy Murray and personality be used together?".
Apart from the fact that the term personality doesn't stand for smashing bloke in this instance and I we don't see the real Murray anyway.

Yep. Why would anyone want that pointless tat cluttering up their home? (see also: Brit Awards, British Comedy Awards, Pride of Britain Awards etc. etc.)

I can't be bothered to contest your point about him hating the English - that's been done to a death and you couldn't be more wrong.
He's quite clearly not in the game for the cash. Again, you couldn't be more wrong.

Fair play to him why would you want to turn up to an event where everybody hates you.

No, he doesn't hate the English. It's pitiful that people still say this - during a World Cup, Scottish people will always say they want England to lose. It's a bit of fun. He was joking.
Nothing that he has ever said or done since would back up your claim that he hates us.
He's in the game for cash? What are you talking about? Tennis players, like a lot of sportsmen, are horribly overpaid, but to suggest that this is his motivating factor is pathetic, frankly. Like most, he's in it for the glory.
If he doesn't win tonight, the competition is a joke.

Add to that with the fact he has openly asked for more equal pay in mens tennis, take some off the top and spread it out among the rest. Seems like his head+heart is in the right place.

Andy Murray obviously hates the English so much that he lives in Surrey, his girlfriend is English and so too is his closest friend in tennis.
