Nothing else is happening this year except maybe Chris Froome winning the tour (maybe) but I bet most people couldn't pick him out of a lineup

This Wimbledon was amazing. Murray finally did it after all the heart wrenching losses here and Bartoli fought hard for 6 years for another chance to win Wimbledon and made sure she didn't miss her chance this time. Good to see people fight through adversity and pull through.
Djokovic defended his favorite surface in Australia.
Nadal defended his favorite surface in Paris.
Murray won his favorite surface in London.
Federer will be extremely motivated to win the US Open now.

Neither do you, how about this particular variety of apples?
I thought Murray preferred Hard courts, no?
It's scary to think how it could influence a large scale decision like this.
He has done pretty well at attempting to grow one recently though.

He does but he might change his mind after today, haha.
Let's not forget the true hero of today, Graeme McDowell winning the French Open.
It won't. Nationalists will remain nationalists and unionists will stay unionists.

Knew he could do it - thoroughly deserved it too.
US Open champion and Wimbledon champion - plenty more to come no doubt

Now every single monkey on Andy's back is gone. Two slams, one of them Wimbledon. I'm expecting him to really pick up now.

Hahahahahahaha.
Our main concern is the Tories, as you can see from the way we vote. Either we get more powers to negate their effects or we'll eventually be gone.
Why's that?

That could also go the opposite way as well.
It sums up the classless idiot to a T.
September 2014 cannot come soon enough.
Rubbish , take a look at the actual vote numbers separating the parties during the last GE , the Tories may never gain a foothold in Scotland , but the numbers are ridiculously close.
And anyone who thinks a nation would base their vote on having a Scottish tennis champion needs a word with themself.

I hope they interview Lendl again and this time he displays some emotion!

Murray himself said that people should vote using their head, so I'm not sure he'd approve of people voting on such an important issue over his personal achievements.
Hilarious Salmond is trying to piggyback on Murray's success to push independence.
Yeah a quarter English Scot who lives in London and is going out with an English girl, winning a tournament in England while being applauded by a largely English crowd. He's the person to push your rubbish nationalistic agenda that we're separate nations.
Shame the polls don't support you isnt it. Amazing he managed to be in a box with Cameron and be a bigger cunt.

Yea Fed on the down and Nadal's future uncertain.I could see him winning here again at least.
Murray isn't a machine like those two. He might peak at slams but he just isn't made for week in week out grind on the regular ATP events.
True, I'm thinking short term than long term.
I'm no salmond fan, but judging from their policies Cameron has him beat on cuntishness that matters beyond being an insufferable ego maniac.
That is quite an achievement.
Salmond still managed it though. 'Hey everyone, ignore Andy, I need to push my political agenda'.
Do I need to remind you of the "Blame it on the Poor" strategy of this Govt? And the real effects of that set of policies?
The passing shots was just one example of why you can't look at winners stat. 99% of the time, the winner of a match is going have more winners than the loser. It says absolutely nothing about how the match actually unfolded.
Simon vs. Fed: Simon hits more winners (and wins). Is Simon suddenly an aggressive player?
And Djokovic is an offensive retriever (because of his great defense). Murray is a flat out pusher (like Simon and Monfils).
It has nothing to do with it being a poor approach shot. It's about superior defense. An excellent approach shot is usually not enough against a pusher like Murray.
When Fed hits approach shots, they aren't "poor". It's just that Murray's pushing is far superior to someone's offense.
Yeah, I was thinking of "British", rather than "Britain" which is hence why I didn't continue
No but you can if you want.

True story. I nearly ran Salmond over in my car about 5 years ago. It was a really close thing.
How things would have changed if I did.

Did he give some interview where he said something along those lines or did he just pull a saltire out when Murray one?

With respect, I hope the quest for independence is futile. Purely because I don't want to make it that much easier for Tories to win elections.
For a US friendly example, think of how much tougher a job the Democrats would have of taking the WH if New York fled the Union.
How about the demolition of the social safety net for starters? The slow Privatisation of the English NHS? Taking away access to legal aid?

MiMIC is the voice of reason in this thread. Wow. I agree with you brah.
Not really, the SNP do do that, but they can effect very little fiscally. Unless you are arguing the tories are all sunshine and roses? Or that they at all reflect modern scotland?

He won Wimbledon once, big fucking deal. Win it 3 times and then give him one for services to sport. If anything he should get a CBE or something like that, one win isnt deserving of being knighted
I'm not exactly president of Cameron's fan club okay? I said he was being a bigger cunt in the box. Which he was.
He can't resist any opportunity to push his agenda. He was being a politician, Cameron was being a statesman. He didn't start waving a Union Jack around. I mean imagine the thought process behind bringing that Saltire in to wave, the aides and advisers involved with it. It stinks of political opportunism.
