And you would know that because of what? What top level of anything have you competed at?

Bullshitting perchance?..

Arrogance amongst sports people is pretty rife. A simple google search using arrogance and sports gives an indication.


Still, no amount of playground logic will be enough to silence me.

Fox.

Murray is a bit unfortunate in that he is playing in a 'golden era' where there are 3 world class players in Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. The odds of him not playing one of them at some point in a tournemant are pretty slim. Just getting to a final of a Grand Slam is a good achievement in itself, especially Wimbledon with all the pressure that is thrown at him. His biggest problem will be how he copes mentally with another Grand Slam final defeat, his fourth I believe. Maybe he just needs a bit of luck to get over the line. Yesterday it was against him in that the rain delay and subsequently playing under the roof played into Fed's hands...

I think its a pretty poor excuse that he's up against 3 world class players...


Would he have fared any better in the era of Borg, McEnroe and Connors ?


He just needs to get better. And he is getting better. He is young ish and likely to be around a bit longer than Federer/Nadal but it would be even better if he could step up to their level.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
