Andy Murray doesn't hate the English.
You really shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers.

Where did you get that Murray hates English?
BNP propaganda?

Re: Tennis
It really annoys me when people go on about Murray hating the English. It's not true. Anyone with half a brain who actually read what he said would realise that.

A typical tabloid story becomes fact for years.
Prior to the Football World Cup a few years ago Henman and Murray were having a bit of banter about Scotland not qualifying etc.... Murray was asked who he wanted to win the World cup and he quipped something along the lines of anybody but England...queue the ~"English hating" headlines.
English hating Murray has an English girlfriend I think .... he must hate himself putting up with that!!!

Re: Tennis
Even if that is false, I have never liked him from the first time I saw him play tennis. Sorry if that makes me unpatriotic. I don't care.

Re: Tennis
Yeah I know it is nuts. Don't know why I hate him so much, I like other Scottish people. Murray just seems to send a red mist down on me and make go mad. Used to be like that over David Cameron.

Re: Tennis
http://news.sky.com/story/1107837/wi...er-empty-seats
I placed this item on the thread, as for the simple reason is that the All England Club claim that the empty seats are for those people going for the loo or refreshments.
I have never heard so much clap trap in all my life, people are crying out for tickets for this tournament yet cannot get them, they claim the tickets are for sponsors - more rubbish.
If the sdell tickets and the people don't turn up within ten minutes, sell more tickets or give tickets to service personnel. We had this problem last year, and they gave the same excuse. I am NOT a tennis fan, but it always makes me laugh at some of the excuses that people come out with.
