Re: A. Murray!
It's often debated whether in a national vote Scotland would choose to go it alone, or remain part of the Great Britain. One thing I am sure of, if England were asked whether they wanted Scotland to remain part of GB, I know what the result would be. I don't have any problem with them going alone, just make it 100% if they do, no half measures. As the English get the least out of the pot of any of the home countries, and contribute the most by far, they couldn't lose.

Re: A. Murray!
IMHO Andy is a far better role model than some other sports "personalities". I have not seen any photos of him in the tabloid press drunk with some slapper. He gives 100% effort on the court and any genuine tennis fan will appreciate his skill and enjoy watching him play.
I don't care where he was born, he trained in Spain and now has his home in England
.
Good luck Andy

Re: A. Murray!
I'd be happy for any of these 4 to win, but Murray winning carries the added bonus of annoying lots of people.
I don't think it's on free tv, I've been watching some on www.rojadirecta.es

Re: A. Murray!
I saw some of this game. I don't think Andy bottled it at all - he played as well as he can. The problem is there are normally 2 or 3 world class players around at any time in this kind of sport, and Andy isn't top three material. He's still the best British male player we've had in eons.

Boo hoo, this means I can safely show my face around Spain then.
His problem was that he was getting frustrated whereas Nadal was cool as ice, and just waiting for Murray to slip up, from what I saw.
