Andy Murray is an odd looking lad isn't he.


I like the fact he's more firey than Henman ever was, more of a McEnroe. However, I don't like the way he comes across, and not just because he said that thing about England in the last world cup. I just can't really take to him.


That said, I want a different final, so I would like to see him win.


I hope Safin keeps up his current form and wins it, would be nice.

I only saw the last bit after the short rain break, but wow! Both of them were just playing out of their skins... I did think Federer was starting to look tired, but then again, I thought Nedal would never break him after 2 games were he was 2 points up on Federer's serve!


The only shame is that there is no one who could stand with these 2, or frankly anywhere near at the moment!


Bloody well done to Laura Robson, although as Virginia Wade says, I hope the press just leave the girl alone to get one with it! I believe that this win has earnt her a wild card in to next years seniors.

Arf. The Beeb spotters were concentrating on gawky Gavin and the president of Real Madrid FC, but clearly hadn't noticed the Crown Prince and the lovely Letizia were in the house, until Nadal went over at the end of the game. Tsk.

Keef, Australian open final had neither Nadal nor Federer in it. Federer loses in New York, and he's had a Slam-free season.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.

      You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?

      No party is willing to tackle the "elephant in the room" which is the national debt. It is costing the country circa £100 Billion ANNUALLY to service that debt. That is more than the defence and education budgets. That debt burden has to be reduced which in reality means cost cuts. That means cutting back state pensions, index-linked pensions for civil servants and others such as police, NHS etc. It means cutting back on universal credit and cutting the number of people who are claiming benefits.
