TBF Bellamy is a complete ****. Admiring his footballing ability is like admiring Hitler for being a vegetarian.

But that isn't his fault, seems like a thoroughly decent bloke to me.. You could have picked 100 more scurrilous, immoral footballers

I know you're Scottish and all, but I struggle to see how anyone can possibly like this guy. Sure, although I'm no tennis buff he seems to have some potential, but he is so bloody boring and dull off the court that I generally end up hoping he loses.

Well personally I prefer being boring to hauling your ego around like the awful Beckhan and Sharapova!

Hmmm, well as Hingston said earlier up the thread, Beckham appears a very agreeable bloke to me, as I don't really watch tennis I have no idea what Sharapova's like.

He seems so petulant to me and i doubt he'll be as popular as Henman was/is.
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
Sure won himeself plenty of fans south of the border by playing in a Paraguay shirt in ealry June. That's what gets my back up about this country actually, loads of people in work were supporting him in Wimbledon because he's "British" but he was rooting against our football team because he's Scottish. Some Englishmen have no pride. Psh.

The thing about Scotland is, the thing you have to remember, is... well... Scotland are pitiful, they'll never win anything except in truly global sports like curling and snooker. That's why you can sort of get behind tartan halfwits occasionally because there's never any danger of them actually winning something. So it's more amusing to see them get their hopes up, like when the pillocks went on Top of the Pops singing how they'd win the World Cup and then got humiliated in the first round again.
