  1. Anchorman. Can't be arsed writing a review that none of you will read. Plus I'm not even getting paid for it. Don't know when it was made, probably 2004, or something like that. But, yeah it was really good, I've already watched it about 5 times. 10/10.

  2. f**k off China, you don't deserve MS events.

    No doubt that it has something do to with the ATP making f**k loads of money. Am I right on saying that the Paris Masters used to take place around this team of year? IMO, they should re-introduce the Hamburg Masters, and play it now, instead of playing masters events in Asia.

    Didn't see the match due to me being a lazy b*****d, and fast asleep. Saw the highlights on SSN, and Murray won some fantastic points. In all honesty, Federer and Nadal don't try as hard in these events, as they do in the slams, hence another Murray victory.

  3. +1

    You speak the most sense on this forum. I agree with all of that, but not overly convinced about the MK dons thing.

    Thank you, KB.

    If we had an affiliation with MK Dons that would mean an annual pre-season friendly, which brings in a few quid. Plus, we are both franchises. I like to see Livingston and MK Dons as good friends.

  4. Britain should leave the EU, we don't need the help of foreigners.

    Livingston and MK Dons should have an affiliation, similar to Rangers and Hamburg.

    FC Barca are fucking scum.

    The Premiership is the best league in the world.

    Religion should be banned. It's a motive for hatrid.

    Foreign flags should be banned at all UK football grounds.

    I am the best poster on P&B.

    All are facts, not really opinions.

  5. Yep, hilarious. Nadal is unbeatable on clay, has absolutely owned Murray on grass at two Wimbledons and has actually won hard court grand slams, unlike Murray.

    The gems just keep coming. Nadal is already the second best player of all time in my book. Murray could play to the age of 100 and he wouldn't equal Nadal's number of Slams already in the back pocket.

    We'll see in 10 years time just how many Slams Murray has won. My money is on 0.

    I never said he was beatable on clay. Infact, previously, I said something along the lines of he will win the vast majority of clay court touraments and nobody will really challenge him, on that surface. As for the hard courts, once Murray wins one slam on this surface I thik more will follow. Murray has it in his game to be a much better player, and certainly able to give Rafa a run for his money.

    I find the comment in bold insulting, you clearly don't have the tennis knowledge I have. Federer, Borg, Laver, Sampras and possibly even Jimmy Connors have all been better than Nadal, so far. Murray may not equal Nadal's amount, but he'll certainly overtake him in the rankings, eventually.

    My money is on Murray to win 3/4 slams, by the end of his career.

    Something funny, H_B?

    Nadal's knees cannot cope with the hard court. 2 of the 4 slams are on that surface, as well as the majority of the masters events. Murray, on the other hand is the best player in the world on the hard courts, and can only get better at his age, as he doesn't have the injury problems that Nadal does. I also believe that Murray can improve on the grass courts aswell. Nadal isn't going to get any better. In 2 years time, Nadal will dominate the clay court events, as that's by far his strongest surface, but Murray will be the dominant force on hard court. I think Murray can be a better player than Nadal, overall.

  7. Have you seen Del Potro on grass?!?! It's not a pretty sight.

    Gulbis is a total headcase, but he is certainly cool as f**k. All he needs is a bit of maturity and he'll be top 10 easily. He is in my avatar as an ode to the match he played against Nadal at Madrid a few years ago. Dimitrov has all the tallent in the world. Just needs to piece it altogether. All of them will be above Tsonga in 2 years time. Other than Donald Young, who is now an internet meme I believe. Typical overhyped American.

    Completely agree with that. Very similar to James Blake.

    I think Gulbis is a good player. As you say he needs maturity and experience, which will make him a better player. His lifestyle means that he didn't have the desire to do as well as some of the top players. I've not saw a lot of Dimitrov, but I've heard him being rated highly, I don't know enough about him to comment on where he could possibly be in 2 years time. I still think there is more to come from Tsonga. Okay, he may not win a slam, but he could possibly challenge and get to a couple finals and perhaps win a masters title or two.

    I can remember Del Potro performing very well at Wimbledon about 4 years ago, in the first round, when he was very young. He doesn't seem to play well at Wimbledon though, I've heard rumours that he doesn't like spending time in the UK and that he didn't get on well with Murray in the juniors because of nationality. He's still a fantastic hard court player though.

  8. Winning a slam doesn't mean your going to dominate tennis, as you seem to think. Soderling is nothing. The guy has never even won a MM, he will never win a slam, which was evident as he was absolutely destroyed in his last 2 atempts. Del Potro got a flukey slam, and as I've said is out with a massive injury. It's doubtful if he'll ever rediscover his game again. Big hitters like Sod, Del Potro, Cilic, Berdych will never dominate tennis. High risk, low variety tennis = no consistency to rack up the slams and dominate tennis. Can they beat one of the big 4? Of course. Can they catch fire for 2 weeks and go far in a slam, maybe even win one? Of course. But just don't expect them to win many, and be considered dominant.

    PS, I think it's laughable how much you are overrating Tsonga. He is the epitome of averageness. Totally bizzare that you think he'll be ahead of the likes of Berdych, Gulbis, Querry, Cilic, Dimitrov and Young in 2 years time.

    I don't think that winning a slam means that you will be a dominant force. Ivanisevic won Wimbledon near the end of his career and was never really a dominant force in the game. Perhaps I rate Del Potro a little highly, but I seriously believe that he has a bright future. I saw him at Wimbledon about 4 years ago and you could tell he was a massive talent. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't a major threat.

    I don't think I'm overrating Tsonga, either. He'll certainly be better than Querry, who I don't rate too highly. I may be proved wrong. Ernests Gulbis is an interesting player. He certainly has the potential to be a class player, but he's too inconsisitent and doesn't the desire the others have. You rate him quite highly, judging by your avatar? Cilic has a big serve, he'll be decent, top 8, yes. I don't think he'll be a major threat. Don't know too much about Grigor Dimitrov, he's only about 18/19, in 2 years he might not quite be challenging Tsonga. Donald Young won't be anywhere near Tsonga in 2 years.

  9. Del Potro underrated? Soderling dominating tennis?(I don't think you realise he is already 26 and at his peak?) Tsonga winning a slam? laugh.gif Where do you keep finding these gems from? What are you going to try and tell me next, Verdasco will triple bagel Nadal at Roland Garros? Del Potro is the most overrated player in tennis, other than Robin Soderling, and possibly Berdych at the moment. You quite obviously don't realise how hard it would be to "dominate tennis" with that style of play. Del Potro, Soderling and Berdych are ball bashers, they have very little variety in their games, for any 3 of them to win a slam they would need to be on fire for 2 whole weeks, which is hard enough. Take into account that their particular playing style combined with their physique will result in more injuries. In fact Del Potro has already missed the whole season with an injury(a wrist injury which is one of most difficult to come back from). There is a reason one dimentional ballbashers have never dominated tennis. Djokovic has had a slump year, he is definitely good enough. Federer is not finished by a long shot, HC is by far his best surface, he still has a few majors left in him. You don't seem to realise how week the competition is. I'm willing to bet that at least 11 out of the next 12 grandslams are won by a member of the big 4.

    Del Potro has proved that he is capable of winning a slam. I'd imagine that by the end of his career, he'll have another 3/4 major titles. Cracking player.

    Berdych is overrated, I'll agree with you there. Done very well to get to the final of Wimbledon. A one off, similar to Fernando Gonzales at the Australian in 2007.

    I think Soderling will eventually win 1 grand slam, possibly the French if Nadal gets injured, or has a major blip.

    Tsonga has enough potential to win at least 1 slam, he's a very good player. His backhand down the line is exceptional.

    Federer has another 2 years left in him, I think he'll still win another 2/3 slams. When he retires the best players in order will be: Murray, Nadal, Del Potro, Djokovic, Tsonga. Soderling will be in and around there for a limited time.

    Well played Murray, I tip him forn the next 2 GS events.

  10. Del Potro and Murray dominating the tennis world. laugh.gif Are you fucking high?

    No. Del Potro is underrated, I think he could even be better than Murray in a few years time. He's already won a slam and hasn't reached anywhere near his peak yet. Fantastic player.

    Murray can also still improve, and when he wins his first slam, which I believe will be the US next month, he will gain confidence and start to dominate more. He just needs to work on his first serve %.

    Djokovic isn't good enough. He's peaked, in my opinion and should not be ranked at 2, although that's the way it works.

    Nadal can't play any better. He'll dominate the clay court events, but I reckon he'll retire pretty young, too many injuries.

    Federer is too old now, unfortunately, still the best in history and nobody will be as good as him, ever.

    I think Soderling will be a cracking player, he's really strong on all surfaces and a dangerous opponent. Infact, for the first time ever, I was wrong. I reckon Del Potro, Murray and Soderling will be the dominant forces, within the next few years.

    Tsonga is good, but again, not as good as those player, I stil think he'll win a slam.
