Having to look at his old man’s scrunched up, constipated face every fifteen seconds for two weeks every year, for starters. And Nadal for his ridiculous tics and for spending more time rubbing himself with a towel than actually playing. And any of the women who scream like they’re in mid orgasm when hitting the ball, especially Sharopova, a drugs cheat to boot. Sorry IBB, nothing personal; I used to love tennis back in the days of Charlie Passarell, Rod Laver and St Vitus Gerulaitis.
I greatly admire Daniela Hantuchova. In fact, having written her name has got me in a mood to admire her some more........................if you'll excuse me.
Have to agree I'm afraid. Just shut the **** up you grunting monstrosities. It should be a rule- no squeaking, yelping, grunting or high volume gasping, or point lost. A decibel metre would sort it out, no need for human intervention.
I agree entirely regarding the squawking. Grunting was initiated as a way to regulate breathing when nervous,breathe out on the contact with the ball. However on the WTA tour and in the female game in general it is used purely as a distraction. The worst exponents,Sharapova,Williams,Azarenka do it after they have hit the ball so masking the sound and therefore speed of the ball for the opponent. It should have been arrested ten years ago.
Sorry Stevo. Karnesis Holebas Prodl Mariappa Femenia Pereyra Doucoure Capoue Hughes Deeney Okaka 1-2 Watford Attendance 56,876
Should smash them, they're absolutely woeful. Arsenal 0-4 Watford Deeney x 3 Marriapa x 1 Admire - None really, most just say what they got to say to make the public like them - behind closed doors most of them are probably egotistical pricks Hate - Andre Gray
I don't now watch tennis as a result unless it is Roger (Fed not Draper) playing some quiet chap. Odd that the All England Club will ban you if you don't sport whites but put you on Centre Court if you behave like Debbie when Doing Dallas.
As said previously it really depends on which teams turn up. Would be a tonking either way but most likely a bore draw as it's on the telly box and that result won't help either team with their European aspirations. Admire: Murray Walker commentated and made F1 entertaining for over 50 years. If he doesn't count then Alessandro Zanardi. He's the chap that lost his legs in a motorsport accident went on to compete in Wheelchair marathons and in one race actually towed another competitor who was struggling to finish. Hate: Is a strong word, but any footballer, who has a hissy fit and downs tools without the acknowledgement that he gets paid a year's salary in a week for doing a part time job and something most other people have to pay to take part in in their leisure time.
Don't need to change too much. Get Hughes in and for the love of god play Pereyra on the left. Injuries permitting: I think another poster posted an almost indentical team to this earlier in the thread. Seems a no brainer. Only alternative would be to go 2 up from the start. This would be bold, but I'd have no issue with: Zeegelaar if Holebas is injured.
I haven't seen so much pre-match confidence before a game since the beating we were due to handout to WHU away.....
And Margaret Court, don't forget her! A woman of principles as well as a tennis great! Margaret Court, an 11-time winner at the Australian Open, will not be in attendance at this year's tournament after deciding to boycott the opening grand slam of the year. Why won't she be there? The 75-year-old opposes Australia's ruling to allow same sex-marriage and last year claimed “tennis is full of lesbians”. Court is a senior pastor at Perth’s Victory Life church and has been a critic of homosexuality for decades. The former women’s world No 1 won a record 24 grand slam singles titles during her career. She even has a court named after her at Melbourne Park. “Tennis is full of lesbians. Even when I was playing there were only a couple there but those couple that took young ones into parties,” Court said last May. “And what you get at the top is often what you’ll get right through that sport.”
I thought we needed 4 away points this season during the Gracia period. Stoke, West Ham and Huddersfield was where I thought we would get them. The Chelsea home win made that less necessary. The way we are now approaching matches I am more confident we can get those three away points from the 15 available at Arsenal, Liverpool, Huddersfield, Spurs and Man Utd. If we can get another 4 away points this season, we will be on course to beat the 45 points tally of our Premier League high point. Six away points and we could hit 50 or more. A point at the Emirates would be a good result. If Arsenal get a result at Milan, we might get the benefit of them breaking that losing run of 4 games. If they lose then of course the Sunday home match is an absolute must win for them. Sporting likes - Mike Brearley whose captaincy during the summer of my O and A levels made a great impression. Sporting dislike is - ( for some unknown reason really) is Joe Bugner.
Well, if it helps give the lads some confidence and therefore increase our chances of winning.... 1-6 (Perreyra 2, Hughes, Prodl, Okaka, Deeney (pen)). If it doesn't help...2-0 to the arse (Deeney missed pen)
We're going to get hammered with the opposition containing the likes of Sanchez, Giroud, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott. If none of those play we stand a good chance of getting something.
You must have been of tender years when Bugner was in his pomp. Margaret ‘Tennis’ Court. Ever been a footie player called Pitch?
Geoff Pitcher. Sounds more like a golfer. If you can find an arsenal fan who is happy right now or thinks they'll win this you'll be lucky. They are fretting over Deeney as they know he was right about the cojones and won't know what to do if he leads us to a win. It would be marvellous. Admire Matthew Le Tissier. Yeah he gets sucked into the punditry nonsense sometimes but seems more real than others. was a brilliant footballer who was loyal to his club and seemed to be part of the community. Brian Lara, Sachin, Flintoff, Tufnell, Muralitharan from the Cricket world among a few. Hate is a strong word, but Chris waddle and Brendon Rogers.
Great shout for Murali. A genius & a fantastic human being. Being a prominent Tamil in Sri Lanka wasn’t easy during the war & Murali’s dignity always shone brightly. In contrast to the Australian response to Murali which was to try to ban him from cricket for his action. An ugly ‘win at all costs’ mentality however boorish you have to be to do so. Not tough. Infantile & self absorbed.
You've got the 1st half /2nd half formations down perfectly assuming the deadlock isn't broken at HT. If after 45 mins we're 1 or 2 up then it becomes a 70 min change.
