"Murray hates the English" is as tedious a Daily Mail untruth as "Birmingham City council banned Christmas".

I must be psychic to know the English comment would feature.

[Slaphead]

It featured but it wasn't the main point, although lets just pretend it was so you can pat yourself on the back.

The reaction to that comment definitively showed that the supposed English talent for irony is perhaps overstated.

So I was right, which is why i'm patting myself on the back. I'm patting CD as well. Mutual patting is fun.

[Slaphead]

Yes, let us call it irony.

Now you are getting confused with petting.

[cdbearsfan]

Pathetic of me I know, but it really irritates me that it keeps being brought up when even Henman, who was there, has said it was total bollocks. And some people STILL believe it!

Slaphead, I'll ask you to be open-minded and read this link. If you still believe Murray hates the English then we'll agree to disagree. But I hope you'll see Murray is about as anti-English as Richard Dunne is anti-cheese burger.

If the roles were reversed it would have been a jolly good wheeze what.

Whereas with the roles as they were it was just good patter (appropriately).

[Slaphead]

Yes I completely understand his anti England comment was probably massively taken out of context and as a young player he may not have understand or have predicted the backlash he would have got from his comments.

I hate him because he comes across as a horrible and miserable twat and is one of those people that grates me. Everyone here has a certain sportsman they may dislike or 'hate' where others don't (I also hate Beckham but I'd rather not go own that road again), Andy Curry happens to be the guy who I just hate.

But yes, let's just make a deal about the anti England comment.

[Slaphead]

He lost serve, awesome... Sure he will recover though because he is a quality player.

[PeterWithesShin]

So does that mean you will forgive him for it?

[cdbearsfan]

Then there is the anti England comment he made that I have never forgave him for, you just know he hates the English by his demeanour.

But yes, let's just make a deal about the anti England comment.

Ok then...

[Slaphead]

While I understand the anti England comment was taken out of context, I genuinely believe he probably does hate the English. I served in the military and met many Scots and Taffs who hated the English, my general feeling is that he does too.

[Slaphead]

Anyways I am going to have to leave you good men, I just came to see if there were any other MurrAy haters.

Farewell.
