Hate Wimbledon, the epitome of the inbred British social system but this nonsense over Murray makes me heave.

Middle class, middle aged people with all the charm of members of the nazi party pretending to be sports lovers.

Feck off.
 

Don't hold back mate, say just what you feel, let it all out, you know you'll feel better.

Big breath in, big breath out now isn't that better?
 
Wah wah wah dem middul classes gen.

Some people have more money than you, get over it.


I hate Murray as a person btw but I find myself really wanting him to win this year.
 

Hate to say it but this sort of attitude is one of the reasons why in general British sport is so gash.

When a sportsperson is doing well people find a reason to hate ie middle class sport not for the poor, blah, blah.

When a sportsperson is doing well but can't fit any unacceptable class category then it's, oh it won't last for long he/she/they will soon start losing again.

When they're doing badly they just get hammered, it's unfortunately systemic in the british psyche. As an expat living in Australia where sport (apart from football) is well supported at all levels by government and the population.

So in short my advice to you would be celebrate the fact that ou have a tennis player who has the chance to challenge the worlds best to win your home tournament.
 
what?! tennis is a great sport and its not full of middle class people, look at the williams sisters.. that was their escape out of poverty

Agree 100% with this. In fact i'm going to rep you.

It's a British person doing pretty well in a sport, and people get on his back because he's a bit miserable. I just don't get it. He's just focused on doing well. If he was a wacky character that the media and public loved he'd end up being the Eddie The Eagle of the tennis world. Great. Really great. FFS.

I really hope he wins Wimbledon. I don't think he will, but I hope he does.

Tennis is only seen as middle class as middle class people watch it. There's nothing to stop anyone going to watch it, and it's a great sport to watch, even acer to play, and it's reasonably cheap too.

AND Strawberrys are ace.
 
What pisses me off is the working classes claim the middle classes look down on them.

Tbh the working classes can be just as snobby about the middle classes.


People can't help there background/ if theyve done well for themselves. Just be happy people ffs.

thank you , this indeed. hes actually really funny as well, he just comes across as serious in interviews and he IS the greatest british tennis player ever(in terms of talent not achievment) and before anyone says it, yes he would beat fred perry!
 
I'd really like him to win. Still a grumpy sh1tehawk though. If he was playing in any other era he would have a few grand slams already i.m.o, he's just unfortunate he's playing with 2, if not 3, of the greatest players to ever swing a racket.
 
BTW I am actually British and feel sad at the way sport is treated. I am very happy to be an Australian Citizen and be able to celebrate in the country's supporting achievements. Don't get me wrong when teams are losing they do get some media pressure to improve, damn the cricket team. But it's good to see the English cricket team winning consistently again, but that's a middle/upper class sport, hope they start losing soon the bad upper class bastards.
 
Got a big chance with Nadal out.

Unfortunatly the pesky Djokovic and Federer are still in it.

I love The Fed so if it came down to it I'd probably want him to win. But I'd feel guilty.
