    So when he started to become a contender, they started calling him British, his response was "I wasn't British enough for them to help me, so i was and always will be Scottish"

    Nice

    Jesus some people love to get a nice chip on their shoulder. Maybe they just didnt think he was any use?

    I dont think they are obliged to spend money on everyone that rocks up looking for it.

    What did Scotland do to nurture his talent?

    Anyone who thinks Murray will beat Federer doesn't watch tennis.
    Some fools look to their head to head record which Murray is ahead in but Federer has won when it counts like at the US Open last year. Federer is an animal in slams. His concentration levels go through the roof (as could be seen against a very dangerous serve yesterday) and his standard of play rises to another level. He will beat Murray if he meets him in the final.

    He'll beat Haas in straight sets tomorrow imo. He's in incredible form atm.

    That head to head means nothing tbh.

    they are fully entitled to big up their national achievements if they want to. stop watching and reading their media if it concerns you so much.

    i have little or no interest in england/uk, the way people go on about that place is a bit perplexing really. let it go.

    A Brit will win Wimbeldon soon, Laura Robson. She is good enough. There is a lot of rubbish written by the media about sport, all hype no substance, England dont have the winning mentality in sport, the Olympics are the worst, 4 in the morning, "WE GO LIVE TO A LAKE IN CHINA WHERE ROBERT LONGKNOB OF BRITAIN IS LYING 2nd IN YACTHING.... "AND THE GREEK HAS CRASHED ITS GOLD FOR LONGKNOB, GLORY FOR BRITAIN" you know the rest MBE, open top parade, sharing a joke with Sue Barker and Hilarious scouser John Parrot. No mention of knife crime or other social problems, to cap it all Sir Steve Redgrave presents yachtsman Robert Longknob with the BBC sports personality of the year at a glittering ceremony. The point is Brits dont win at any signficant sports. Thats why they give a toss about tennis.
