Wimbledon thread

[BWFC_Insane]

For a long time I'd resigned myself to never seeing a British winner at Wimbledon. All I can say is thanks Andy for making one of my sporting dreams come true.

[Gooner Girl]

Gah, he could have taken 5 sets to win, then i'd have got to see some of the match! But seriously, great stuff!

[Montreal Wanderer]

I was pretty nervous. Serving for the match and up 40-0 and he blew it (temporarily). I had the feeling that if he lost that game he might well have lost the match. I feel a great sense of relief.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Will this mean a new label for the chavs to wear?

Another British tradition bites the dust. What is the world coming to. Congratulations Andy on a well deserved victory.

[TANGODANCER]

Score didn't really tell the full story. Some fantastic rallies and classy tennis from both. Never really had the belief in Henman or Rusedski but this guy's the real deal. He's played and beaten all the best. To cap it off this way, tremendous.

[Prufrock]

Get. The. Feck. In!

I'm being told that the Beeb panned away just as Alex Salmond was attempting to unfurl a Saltire in the Royal Box, the wanker!

[Harry Genshaw]

A truly wonderful sporting moment and something I was beginning to think I'd never live to see. More please

This is correct on all counts. He was grinning like Rab C.

Having politicians being constantly shown on the screen is just stupid anyway.

I have no idea whether they are tennis fans or not but the BBC don't need to show them.

Salmond is a prat who tried to politicise a superb sporting achievement.

Spellbound by the mixed doubles final here.

Agreed absolutely. I do think that any current Prime Minister should be there, but if we know that in advance then why keep showing him/her?

Salmond showed himself up to be the classless c*nt that he is.

[Lord Kangana]

His attitude reminds me of the morons who keep banging on about our relationship with Europe.

I saw it tonight, so a re-edit gone on, obviously... Doesn't bother me, nothing wrong with Scots pride here, surely... Milliband there also... Cameron also in shot multiple times... Of the three I reckon Salmond is the most bearable...

I don't give a flying fart about tennis normally - but that final game was something else (this comes from an almost totally ignorant perspective - it may be low down in final great game lists for all I know, but i was totally gripped).

[Prufrock]

It was funny! He was on for about half a second unfurling it (which they somehow let him get in?!) and clearly some producer was going ape-shit, 'Get him off, noooooooo'.

I feel bad in a way for Salmond, in that he's spent his life chasing a false dream. He thinks people hate him because he's Scottish, rather than because he's a massive bell-end.

[Hoboh]

You mean those who actually have a brain!
I really cannot fathom why folk who love a European superstate just don't feck off to Germany or France, solve all their holier then thou attitudes

[BWFC_Insane]

This is meant to be about Wimbledon there is a politics thread for that stuff.

Anyhow, I wonder how many people are going to swear today having seen the Fred Perry/Murray clothing line "joke" on Facebook on the interweb in general for the hundreth time?
