Murray

Blogging about Murray seems to be the thing to do at the moment and I am going to continue with the Murray theme today (I wasn't planning to but was just incensed whilst having my lunch, turning the channel over at half time of the west ham game to see Sue and Castle talking) here is what was said...

Set the scene a typical BBC studio which our license fee helps pay for and two hosts that have won 1 grand slam between them and got shit reviews from strictly come dancing. Behind them is the shirtless picture of Murray that has already been discussed and Sue is salivating over it and pretty muh touching herself up underneath the desk as she says how well he played and how trim he looks. They then discuss how Verdasco played well and go to his post match interview....

Interviewer: You played well blah blah blah you now have the person who many consider favourite in this tournament what are your views on this?

Verdasco: Well Andy is an extremely good player blah blah blah but.... I don't think you can call him favourite as this is a grandslam played over 5 sets (FACT) Nadal is the strongest 5 set player on the tour (FACT) having lost less matches that go the distance than any current player (FACT) there is also Federer who has one the most grandslams out of anyone currently playing (FACT) and then there's Djokovic who is the grandslam holder (FACT).

They go back to the studio and Sue asks Castle...it seems everyone is asked this question in interviews now, do they actually believe it?

Castle: I don't think so, all the players probably feel they have to say that stuff so they dont get stick off the guys in the locker room. They know Andy is as good as the rest of them.

Sue (whilst vigorously frigging herself under the desk): So Verdasco saying that Nadal is a better 5 set player than Andy is wrong then? Surely Andys a different player now to the one that rolled around the floor like a pussy a couple of years ago isn't he? (Just to let you know this isn't word for word by the way...just the way I remember it!!)

Castle: Well Verdasco doesn't believe it and if he does he's an idiot!...... Yes that is right Andrew Castle better known for dancing like a twat than playing tennis called a top 20 player an idiot for believing that Nadal is a better 5 set player than Murray.

Castle continues: Verdasco is a very good player and top 20 in the world but everyone knows Murray will win in 3 sets because he is that good!

Now let me just clear a few things up that the BBC forgot to mention earlier...

1) Murray hasn't won a grandslam and the other top 3 players have.
2) Murray is seeded 4th for a reason.
3) Murray's body is not that incredible I personally think Gary has a better body than him!

Please tell me someone else saw that.. I couldn't honestly believe my eyes when Castle was spouting that crap.... and telling a professional tennis player top 20 in the world that he's an idiot is quite franky ridiculous!
