Your English.

You mean english idiot 😀

C'mon Tim!

You're English.

Yes, you guessed it, I am an Englishman living in Scotland.

To be honest I do hope he does well and my original post was meant to be tongue in cheek 😀

I am just getting bored hearing about him all the time when everyone knows he isn't going to win it 😉

Who cares about [s]Tim[/s]Andy when Pippa's bum was there too?

but handsome and with a sparkling personality and the ability to woo women, judging by his other half. Oh and he makes a bit of money but that's not important in true love.

Don't mind him to be honest. He doesn't have the common touch with the media, true - but he's also not the usual anodyne UK sports celebrity who gives fawning, simpering interviews. He tries to be himself and doesn't seem to give a fk about pandering to the heat magazine readership.

Sort of like England in the World Cup then?

I think Andrew should just admit that it's NEVER going to be a beard and get on to STW Chat Forum to find out what razor is best for him...

[i]GET IN![/i] lycra lout.

He needs a shave I know that the scruffy homme!

I like him. He's by far the best player Britain (certainly Scotland) has produced in a long time, he has a very good chance of winning it this time round, and he's himself, says what he thinks.

He might be very talented but also humourless atmosphere vacuum.

Tsonga gets my vote for the title after yesterdays amazing performance.

I'm sorry but I can't stand the bloke, his whole attitude irritates me, just my opinion like but i turn the tv off when he's playing.

I kinda like him, he can knockaballaboutabit so you can't diss him for that, he's focused on his game, clean and healthy.

He does need a stylist though, that fluff and wild hair thing..
Sooooo Nooooo..

Is this another case of setting the guy up for a fall? It's a strange trait that helps to build the poor guy to be successful then the moment he can achieve something in come the detractors.

I couldn't care a less if he's succsesful or not, its his attitude (and he looks like a scruff)

Shut up will ya!

Pippa's bum is sooooo overrated . . . .

it's just the bum of a skinny woman . . . . . .

According to the missus . . . 😀

I am becoming so bored of hearing about Andy Murray

Well I'm becoming bored of people whining about him.

British sportsman with bags of talent and commitment, and a shot at the big(ger) time. Brilliant 🙂

I don't see anything wrong with his attitude. Ok so he's a bit bland at post-match interviews but he clearly hates doing it, and I probably would to. Just finished 2-3 hours of psychologically demanding sport and some simpering pillock shoves a mic in your face and asks you idiotic questions.

I love how the English fans treat the UK tennis champions.

Build up Henman and then knock him down when he doesn't win...Murray?...just knock him down.

And you wonder why the Scots have something against you?

Murray is a talented, successful sportsman who doesn't feel the need to trot out false platitudes in order to make less talented and successful people like him.

yeah, because modern day sport of any type is not media driven is it.....

Look at Federer's interview after he lost yesterday, calm, collected and full of sportsmanship for the chap who just battered him for three sets. It's not jumping on the bandwaggon, its just my opinion.

I think he comes across really well now - and I feel kinda bad for not liking him when he first came on the scene because of his way in interviews... he was only 18, why should he have been smooth and media savvy?!

why should he have been smooth and media savvy?!

I was proud of him for not having shaved when he met the royal couple, shame he ruined it by bowing to them 8)

I propose an Andy Murray grand-slam-count-in-running totaliser.

I'm happy to take on the task for now:

TOTAL TO DATE: zero

next update shortly 😀

He is a very gifted tennis player, he doesn't need to be anything else.

He speaks his mind and is not much different to any other 24 year old in that respect. His dedication to improving his game however should be a real inspiration.

Tsonga winning the title this year would make me smile...

He reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite! Even the voice is identical!

And you wonder why the Scots have something against you?

because they are jingoistic and full of their own self importance?
only i think you find most of the rest of the U.K. don't really really care about jocks thumping their chests, it's this indifference that seems to annoy them though 🙂

I'm sure all the STW Murray-haters have wonderful media friendly personalities, are clean shaven, handsome and always say what you don't actually believe to make people you don't know like you more 🙄

trying to decide if 100thidiot is serious.

Yes media saturation of a sporting event can be tiresome but wimbledon hasn't topped football levels yet so I'm not too bothered.

Wonders what the footy fans would say if TdF completely saturated the media a la world cup frenzy....

STW Murry-haters

I'm just a STW tennis-hater, I don't discriminate because of his unfortunate nationality, he can't help that 😉

i'll level with you. i hope he loses cos he's a jock.

just like the jocks that want england to lose at football.

nothing wrong with that. perfectly normal.

just like the [s]jocks[/s] [b]non-english across the globe[/b] that want england to lose at football.

no one likes us, we don't care.

I'm sure all the STW Murray-haters have wonderful media friendly personalities, are clean shaven, handsome and always say what you don't actually believe to make people you don't know like you more

I'm further sure that everyone on STW is ranked considerably higher than number 4 in the world at their chosen sport.

It's always the same isn't it - massive media coverage of "oh yes he can do it, come on and get behind the British underdog" followed rapidly by "oh no, he's failed, he's shit, why did anyone let him near sport in the first place, let's kick him a bit more"

I'm just waiting for that to happen with Bradley Wiggins in the TdF...
🙄

in the world at their chosen sport

I've chosen a sport? - Why wasn't I told?

I do find it interesting how many people dislike Murray. He is a pretty bland character to me but vaguely interesting with his flaws

He got badly bitten by the media in the past and now is somewhat cagey with them.

I don't know why he arouses such strong feelings in folk tho

I agree with Markie's sentiments on the last page.

It was quite funny watching him yesterday being interviewed alongside Rory Mcilroy. Rory Mcilroy said he and Murray shared 'common interests'. Murray looked quite sheepish about that one.

Stop picking on me!

I don't know why he arouses such strong feelings in folk tho

because he represents the ludicrous situation whereby english people are expected to simultaneously support britishness and accept anti english feeling from the celts.
