Andy Murray: Live In-Running....

[bigbadwolf]

*Bob*, He's Swiss, give him a chance. Still...nice to see that all that hidden Nazi gold hasn't gone to waste though eh.

[*Bob*]

It's that bag.. I mean really.. someone's having a laugh.

[bigbadwolf]

Yeah...I mean...just when did Bullion become so light.

as someone very wisely pointed out, he's swiss. being half swiss i can tell you right now without the shadow of any doubt that they are not a nation good at dressing. building design, typefaces, graphics all brilliant but dress sense just escapes them.

he's a great sportsman who delivers great viewing with his fantastic skills so no complaints here.

[bigbadwolf]

You'll have to forgive *Bob* for being such a blatant eurosceptic plimsoul it's just that ever since he bought that block of cheese with all those holes in it he just can't bring himself to forgive and forget.

Still, he wears Box fresh so maybe there's some room for him in the Alps.

[plimsoul]

boxfresh hasn't even made it to the lower prairies let alone the alpes, C&A still rules at high altitude...

LOL - very good.

Its time we learned, collectively, to embrace every "Johnny Foreigner" and clutch them firmly to our Manly bosoms or Female equivalent.

Lets overlook the fact that Roger is as Swiss as a Cantonese Takeaway and shower him with the praise and adulation that he, undoubtedly, deserves.

A True Champion.

[Jeremy]

I don't understand the "Swiss as a Cantonese Takeaway" bit.

You know, I've actually been to Switzerland. I have, it's true. How many people did I see with luggage or clothes bearing a gold monogram of their initials? None. Not even one (obviously "Rog" was overseas, playing in a tournament at the time).

Let's just accept the fact that while he may be awesome at tennis, he is certainly not humble.

The 26 cantons of Switzerland are the member states of the federal state of Switzerland.

[Jeremy]

I am familiar with the cantons of Switzerland. Still don't understand the joke though!

Nah! Me neither Jezza..:)

[plimsoul]

blimey, how humble is someone supposed to be when they have just become the most successful tennis player in history?

should he bow down and say 'i'm so sorry for winning and i must remember that how i dress is going to reflect entirely on who i am as a person rather than how i behave.'

[Jeremy]

Sampras had the grand slam record before him. I don't recall seeing the fancy dress then.

Rinse and repeat:

Can the old lags *Bob*, ???? and Jeremy make it to the second week? Why aren't there any "characters" in the game any more. Where are the dedicated, dogged and doomed baseliners as mad as T.LS (Bexley, seeded 8)? Why does nobody come to the net any more with the same desparation and hopelessness as BBW (Forest Hill, unseeded)?

Where is Narnia (Portlaoise, Qualifier) to tell us about the first Irish player in 30 years to play at the big W being a double break up in the fifth and losing.

Can the English-hating, steroid-abusing, mum shagging, pube-headed Wolfman make it past Djoko, Rafa or R-Fed? (No)

Will John Inverdale's head finally succumb to the inevitable and collapse into his neckhole, tiny eyes peering out of his shirt collar like two piss-wet pebbles?

Ted Max (Smug, 16 seed) has won the toss and will receive. Play.

[Jah Lush]

Jah Lush (wild card). Not a hope in hell.

[Ted Max]

There's a new Tim around. He's called Laura and he's quite a fetching wee thing with that moneyed, honeyed complexion that speaks of long days on the yacht in the summer hols. His expensive education has not been entirely wasted, though, as he has had the cunning idea of entering the Women's draw, which is bound to help.

pube-headed... spot on. Oi Murray, have a shave, you look silly.

Tim - sorry - Laura to get bageled by Sharapova in the next round.

I'm not really up with sporting terminology.

Is this in any way similar to them 'bumping doughnuts'? And if so, what time does they start?

[david_carnell]

Didn't you once bagel a ball-boy Ted? Or was that just the same as the Boris Becker rumour.

Carnell (mixed-doubles with some Eastern European sort who grunts a lot) is just here for the ride. And maybe some tennis.

[DaveR]

The 'new Tim' also had the foresight to be born Australian and therefore blessed by the God of Sport (allegedly)

[Ted Max]

The fat Aussie loser succumbs to the chinless Belarus billionaire.

Meanwhile, the pack leader summons the midsummer blood to repel the Balkan challenger.

Resurrect it I shall. The late, great, Tony London suburbs (RIP) joins Quids and El Pibe in Cynic's corner.
