Wimbledon

Is better than wimbledon, tennis can be watchable in small doses, but the beeb as with everything they do, flog it to death for 2 weeks and make it unbearable.

Snooker only becomes bearable at the final frame if the tournament.

I don't watch a lot of Wimbledon either now. Can't be arsed. Might watch Murray later in the tourney but apart from that it's not on my radar.

Murray
Konta
Watson
Edmunds
Bedene

Pretty strong showing from the Brits

Might being the operative word. He might not get there.

I like having it on in the background whilst I do something useful, it's soothing in a weird kind of way.

True, he has been pretty poor recently.

How come we don't have any characters anymore like McEnroe/ Conner's etc in the game

I used to watch Wimbers and the test matches when the telly delivered nowt but black and white pictures. Every serve, every over - meals delivered to the armchair, but I find now the over-dramatization by every pundit and commentator is tedious in the extreme. i said to Mrs Ewing yesterday that broadcasting companies should deliver you the option by law of just having the crowd noise, whether it's tennis, cricket or footy, or whatever and fuck the boring old and young farts off the screen. It's not the sports or the personnel performing that I find boring. It is the endless drivel from the ex-pros and broadcasting 'lifers' that spoil the programme and have me reaching for the remote.

I watched it first when our school got a colour telly. We were all allowed to watch it instead of class. Wimbledon was on and I was hooked.been a fan since.
If anyone out there in to ten mins get down there one day. It's incredible. Never got a ticket for the final but I will one day. Can't wait.
