So Sir Alex Ferguson won us Wimbledon.

Absolute legend.

He was able to counteract David Cameron's negative vibes

AAAAANNNNDYYYYYYYY

I'm British and born in Northen Ireland. Go figure.

British citizen yes. I'm born in NI and my passport also says that. Doesn't make NI part of GB.

'96

Old enough to remember well then.. Mental.

 

[pulsemyne]

Good god whats up with beckers eyes? Looks like someone has rubbed soap in them.

 

[MIMIC]

Dude stop pretending Djokovic's game is any different.

It's very different. Did you see how Murray's game was described in the media as opposed to Djokovic's?

This isn't anything new.

 

[cyberheater]

Fantastic news. I live in Scotland and the folks here will be buzzing for days.

He fucks super models in between analysis.

 

[mclem]

They're running out of space on that honours board.

 

[Stinkles]

us states have their own law and government and scotland doesn't have its own currency it just has bank notes issued by scottish banks (english banks are allowed to but dont bother)

currency is notes, I wasn't inferring it was tied to a different baseline. You are not going to out-Scottish me. Or out States me. Because I am both.

 

[chalkitdown1]

Take it to the geography thread guys, for fuck sake.

 

[Cousteau]

Congrats Lendl u earned it.

 

[Hige]

They didn't mess up Andy's name on the board. Poor Bartoli.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Murray with more winners as well. Who was the pusher, again?

 

[Acorn]

Knighted in the New Years honours?

 

[Damo Yoshi]

As a person who'll forever consider Murray the eternal fourth seed, congratulations to my eternal sporting nemesis! :crankykongdeluxe:

Ahhh, that final game was amazing and good on him! At least every year's coverage won't focus on 77 YEARS GUYS 77 YEARS haha~

 

[Baleoce]

Straight sets. Would've thought? The amount of times he broke after being broke. Incredible.

 

[kharma45]

Knighted in the New Years honours?

It would demean knighthoods if he was.

 

[szaromir]

This isn't anything new.

I saw Djoker's match vs Berdych. Djoker was retrieving like a madman.

Facts, let's ignore them.

lol i was only trying to give someone an analogy

 

[cdkee]

If Murray didn't win today he'd truly be hopeless. Congratulations.

 

[Acorn]

I think that has already been demeaned by cash for honours.

 

[NinjaFridge]

I'm British and born in Northen Ireland. Go figure.

And?

 

[krYlon]

Congrats Lendl u earned it.

It will be glossed over, but this is a great story for Lendl considering the disappointments he had as a player at Wimbledon.
It's amazing that he becomes the man who helps Britain get their first Wimbledon title in a gazillion years.

 

[MIMIC]

Murray with more winners as well. Who was the pusher, again?

lol, why do people always look to the winners stat to determine whether someone was pushing or not?

If your opponent is pushing retrieving, and you come to the net to win the point and the pusher/retriever hits a passing shot (like they always do), does that automatically invalidate the earlier pushing/retrieving?

Murray wasn't referred to by every commentator on Tennis Channel (including his former coach, Brad Gilbert) as a pusher/retriever for no reason.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

lendl's reaction is hilarious

 

[mclem]

Straight sets. Would've thought? The amount of times he broke after being broke. Incredible.

I genuinely thought he'd give up on the third after being broken, taking advantage of the two-set buffer and just pick it up in the fourth.

 

[Empty]

congrats murray. straight sets wow.

that final game was so intense

 

[madmackem]

Can we not do the whole Scottish British thing now.

He's Scottish. And he lives in England and is a quarter English or something and has an English GF. I doubt he cares if people call him British or Scottish.

Hes both, hes scottish british, im english british someone is welsh british etc etc i never understand why people make a big deal of it hes both.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Knighted in the New Years honours?

Nah its getting put off til we're independent, when Knighthoods will be replaced with Bravehearts.

 

[Wes]

On reflection those final two games were among some of the highest quality and tensest affairs that I can remember of last few years.

 

[jdforge]

And?

There is no and. It's just a fact that's my nationality. Have we a problem here? :-/

 

[Heart Attack]

Is Andy Murray that good? or has Federer and Joker choked since 2012?

 

[caramac]

 

[jdforge]

Knighted in the New Years honours?

He will win BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Place your bets now before the odds are totally slashed if not already too late.

 

[Betta Lines]

I never even heard of the concept of 'pushing' before I saw this thread. Utter nonsense.

 

[Hindle]

I never knew Andy had English blood in him. That explains how he won then.

 

[friskykillface]

congrats to Murray B^)

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Thant you know shit about tennis.

 

[Messofanego]

Yeah, Scotland is the 4th (or 5th?) biggest city in Britain.

That's why I have never understood the joke?

Oh so this is the post people on BritGAF are going off about! Haha a city.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

He will win BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Place your bets now before the odds are totally slashed if not already too late.

He doesn't really have much of a personality.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Amazing day to be a Scot and an amazing day for British sport. Choke on it Murray haters.

 

[RulkezX]

Delighted for Murray , disgusted at all the horrible Scottish Nationalists and their glorious leader trying to use it to push their separatist agenda.

Especially when Murray identifies as British.

The player who hits a poor approach shot has only himself to blame. I wonder if you were angry at Djokovic with the way he won the final at ATP finals last year.

 

[iMax]

Actually the term Britain can also refer to the United Kingdom, as the full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However you're right that including Ireland it is generally referred to as the UK

It's pretty simple, really.

 

[Acorn]

He identifies as both, and only did once the media went mental at him for supporting anyone but england at the world cup.

at the end of the 3rd set murray had only 7 passing shot winners.

djokovic and murray are both retrievers, with certain strengths and weaknesses to separate them. if murray's second serve wasn't utter shit this match would not even have been this close.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I didn't think it was possible to fit that much assholeishness into one picture.

 

[Willy Wanka]

The blob trying to get the saltire out was hilarious.
