rocket_scientist Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Nice teeth. C'est tous. Anyone recognise who quoteth thus? “The trouble with keeping your thoughts secret, though, is that you lose the advantages of discussion. Talking about an idea leads to more ideas. So the optimal plan, if you can manage it, is to have a few trusted friends you can speak openly to. This is not just a way to develop ideas; it's also a good rule of thumb for choosing friends. The people you can say heretical things to without getting jumped on are also the most interesting to know.” When I read this quote just now it reminded of this thread. Quote
Tyrant Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Neither does Andy Murray as he lives in Miami. I thought he lived in London? London or Dunblane? I ken where I'd rather live! He visits when his schedule allows if I remember correctly. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Away to start on the red button on Sky Sports 2 if anyone cares. Quote

Kowalski Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Tatties o'er the side in the second round Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Tatties o'er the side in the second round Second set??? I thought he was out in the second round there!! Edit - Sorry, i read his first set score as Murray having won it! He shouldn't wear red.... Quote
Kowalski Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 He might still be out in the second round, but is battling back in the 3rd set now. Quote
maverick sheep Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 He might still be out in the second round, but is battling back in the 3rd set now. the watchable, unpredictable, talented, entertaining, scottish CUNT Quote
Tyrant Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Not sure why he always waits until the 3rd set before he starts playing but there's only one winner in this one now. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Not sure why he always waits until the 3rd set before he starts playing but there's only one winner in this one now. The big difference between him and the top three... they rarely do this, he does this often. It saps his energy. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 That was a helluva match, but probably taken a lot out of Murray. Quote
Goldie03 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 How cool is watching tennis in the pub on a Friday night Arrived when he was 2 sets down - good stuff but a bit scarey when it went back to 4 all Quote
maverick sheep Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 he has a very tough draw. round one was always gonna be a skoosh but no one else he was ever likely to get is a mug. If he gets past Lopez, it's either the American, Young (who beat Wawrinka, who beat Murray last year) or Chela. Then the winner of that probably plays either Del Potro or Isner, before either Ferrer or Nadal most likely in the semi. If he does win the championship he'll have done it the hard way! Quote
BigAl Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Through to the fourth round without any issues last night. Now due to play Young, who has already beaten him this year and will have the American crowd on his side Quote
Goldie03 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 He is not making it to the final - I have definitely jinxed him by taking a holiday on Monday and ordering Sky Sports which won't be active until Friday so he is bound to be out by then Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 They're only playing fucking Tennis in New York!! Played 7 games so far today and Andy has won them all Currently 6-2 and 2-0 up Quote
Goldie03 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Those ipads are good yeh Guy next to me on the train had one so I caught the last set on the way home Sky arrives tomorrow so I may just catch Andy's next game Quote
BigAl Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Fuck it....missed it, but sounds like it was a stroll in the park for him :thumbsup: Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Those ipads are good yeh Guy next to me on the train had one so I caught the last set on the way home Sky arrives tomorrow so I may just catch Andy's next game So out in the QFs then What a farce at the US Open today with Roddick getting dicked about by some retarded referee who seemed to be considering trying to use gaffa tape to seal up a leak in the court. With the lop-sided splitting of the draw and the rain delays for the last two days it would be a pretty massive surprise if it's not Djokavic or Federer who win this. Quote

Probably tho he might just make it through as my sky can take up to midnight to activate and he is playing around 5 Final is now on Monday night Quote
Edinburghdon Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I fucking hate Royal Mail If it's any consolation its a really good match... Quote
Goldie03 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 If it's any consolation its a really good match... Fuck off - I couldn't have watched it anyway as I was too busy winning at tenpin bowling And it was actually BT's fault for trying to deliver it to the wrong fucking address tho if the postie had checked on his computer he would have known that and I wouldn't have had to get up at 7am this morning to go collect it Can't even watch him live tonight as I am out at a aerial circus theatre show so will have to record it Quote
maverick sheep Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 7th player in history to reach all grand slam semis in a year. federer is the only person to do it more than once, which seems incredible. Quote
