Are you sure he wasn't being looted?

[The Deadly]

Ah didn't think about that.

I understand this is fairly old, but it's doing the rounds at the moment and I've not seen it before and oh man... funniest clip I've seen in AGES!

[The Deadly]

Ah I love that show. Definitely one of the best modern era quiz shows.

Andy Murray through to another grand slam final. He's gotta reach second in the world very soon at least. Now for Djokovic on Sunday. That will be an absolute cracker!

[The Deadly]

Maybe one day he will win a personality.

Good luck to him though.

[bmstinton93]

It's actually started to really shine through in his latest interviews. I've really enjoyed his Aussie open interviews. And also he was great on Sports personality.

[The Deadly]

He is a winner I'll give him that much. I suppose its better to come off a bit moody and serious rather than pathetic and wimpy but loved like Tim Henman was.

Andy Murray is definitely loved now, since Wimbledon, the olympics and the US Open.

Oh he is loved I'm sure by tennis fans but he'll never be the housewifes choice like Tiger Tim.

That is a forum for Andy Murray fans... I would no more expect to see non-Andy Murray fans beyond the odd troll there, than I would expect to find non-Chris Moyles fans here.

Having said that, there is no doubt that Ivan Lendl has been worth his weight in gold for Murray, the change was overnight and dramatic. It's very impressive.

If you go by Twitter's reaction, there's still an overwhelming positive vibe around him.

I like watching tennis finals where I care who wins - a British player in the mix means I care. I'm a fan (albeit armchair)

I was just trying to back up the point that there are plenty of people out there who like him enough to have a forum about him.

[The Deadly]

There is probably a forum dedicated to Gary Glitter though so I'm not sure the point you are making regarding forums is valid but the one you make about him being more popular now is certainly valid.

I have been a long term hardened Andy Murray non-fan and even I am coming around to him now. Since Ivan Lendl came into his support team he has changed on court and off.

On court he is more aggressive, still a shouter but no longer a sulker, he has grit and fight which he lacked before and seems to have grasped the idea that it is ok to be expressive in his play as well as technical. He also, crucially, at last seems to actually realise that his job is a game, and is allowing himself to enjoy playing it. As a result, whereas previously I would avoid his matches, now I enjoy watching him.

Off court he seems to have continued that understanding that it is ok to express himself and he now interviews like a man, not a robot. Perhaps the first time many people noticed this was after he lost the Wimbledon final. You would have had to be made of rock to not be moved by that on-court interview with Sue Barker.

I have done a 180 and become an Andy Murray fan.

GREAT SCOTT! They are brilliant films. I love them.

I know this shouldn't be making me laugh, but a man was killed in London by a metal sign falling off a William Hill Betting shop. I mean, what are the odds?

I have an audition for the ITV quiz The Chase. Fingers crossed!

GOOD LUCK!

[chrysostom]

That will be a special moment for the forum!
