Sporting Schadenfreude of a National kind - Page 2

I feel your pain, Donut.

I've known Donut many a year, and I know he wont give a monkeys about this. tennis in the UK is a very middle class sport, so us poor people really don't care about Timbo, I mean how can you enjoy a sport where a request for 'no flash photography' recieves rapturous applause.

No, to me tennis is like reggae music..all monotonous baseline.Rugby now theres a game.

It's commonly used in English. It sums up the whole concept so simply.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As the "Poo" crushed Sebastian Grojean
And as Donut feared
The crowd stood and cheered
And the final, well that's still to come

Englands most capped prop? It costs very little to join a rugby club and get decent training, many comprehensive schools have rugby teams,could the same be said about tennis, no which is why we're shite at it.

I wanted Sebastion to win the "Poo", as he is the underdog.

I live in a working class family who have come good, but I still enjoy watching and playing tennis. I don't watch it a lot, in fact I only ever watch Wimbledon.......and I only watch bits of matches, but I do enjoy the bits that I watch.

It does my tits in tho, when the umpire says "If you have a mobile phone, plesae turn it off", and everyone claps.

I think I missed something at that point.
