dogma

No its precisley becaause of football that they are in the 3rd tier ( again ) of English football. All they would add to the EPL is a laughing stock. Number of fans has nothing whatsoever to do with the position that a team occupies ( unless you want to go down a franchise route like American Football or baseball ). The fact is that they are a crap team who arent good enough to escape the 3rd tier.

Stand to be correct on this but i am sure that 2 or 3 years ago Murray though that clay would be his best surface due to have worked on clay so much when he was in Barcelona. Be interesting to see how he develops on clay. That said, he would need to improve a hell of a lot on it to be able to compete with Nadal on clay.

The most impressive thing is how well he does against individuals once he proves to himself that he can actually beat them. his record against Federer is awesome. On the flipside there will be a huge amount of expectation on him to win a Slam tourney this year, and if it doesnt happen it will be used as a stick to beat him with. With Nadal struggling for fitness though he may never get a better year for it.

Murray must have the best record against Federer of any players out there ( apart from guys who played Federer when he was a youngster I mean ).

What like Leeds fans who obsess over Man United and make up juvenile names for them and their manager

Agreed fast becoming the best character. The blonde girl is actually getting more attractive as well. Superb effort on her part.

we literally could not have gotten a better draw. Argentina are a decent side but it will be hard for them to sustain this level for another 3 years . To have avoided the tri nations is nigh on miraculous and no doubt the gin will be flowing amongts the blazers at Murrayfield tonight.

Hard to know it was just that we were better or they were just on a bad day. There is no doubting that our forwards can worry anyone ( the scrum has improved out of all recognition ) but we desperately need some self belief in the last 5 yards. Too often the ball is given to a player who is standing still rather than hitting contact at pace. If we can crack that then we should be a good sight better at 6N.

What a result ( again ). Cant be many players with as good a record against Federer as Murray. Just shame that it wasnt the same at the US Open. He really does seem to have moved up a gear again Murray. Is this going to be enough to get him to 3 in the rankings ( and would that be the highest ever ranking for a British tennis played ) ?

Best way for Godman to get experience is a long run in the team. Parks should never be near the squad ever, he is just dire in international level. We missed the chance to use Paterson at stand off. he should have been playing there from his first stint with Edinburgh but the coach of Edinburgh ( Hadden ! ) wouldnt have it. May have been leant on by the SRU but by not playing at that time, he has missed a good chunk of his career when he would have learned a lot about the position. I think that Paterson at fly half boat as sailed sadly. I reckon he could have been top notch but we decided to persist with gash like Parks

We have lost to Romania back in the amateur days, but they were well funded by the commies then and much better than they are now. We normally play our reserve team against Canada ( did so in the Churchill Cup anyway ) so you are assured of a Scotland win as it is possible to be.

I would bite your hand off for that score right now.

Thats him. Has been buggin me Cheers

Im utterly gash. One of my mates plays at a very decent level and makes a few quid here and there. he beat the English captain a couple of years back ( some hairy guy called Adam ?? ) and said he was a complete chunt to him after it. We applied to go on the new Bullseye on Challenge but never made it

Bogdanovic is the template British tennis player. Clearly has some good shots in the locker, but misses far too many easy points and crumbles when the pressure is on. The LTA performance directors or whatever they call themselves have failed miserably over the last few years. Murray and the young lass who won junior wimbledon didnt come through the LTA and are the only real tangible UK success stories. Jamie Murray has won a Slam of course albeit with a girl to help him, but according to his bro that is only after the LTA nearly ruining him as a player.
