For the record - I've got $100 on Nadal at $4.00.

Does that mean Nadal is screwed then?

I read somewhere that Federer has a tough draw.

by SG Tue 24 Jun 2008, 10:57

Also Bjorn Borg has predicted that Federer has only 3rd best chance of winning this year's Wimbledon which will also help him breaking Borg's WR of 5 consecutive Wimbledon victories.

Looks like odds are just a bit stacked against Federer.

Wasn't Djokovic a bit patchy yesterday? Federer was also not as fluent as he usually is on grass but still he was okay.

British tennis has a new pin-up girl.

The Wimbledon Thread - Page 2 _44774641_cavaday_416

Took Venus Williams to 7-5 in a 1st set tie-break before subsiding predictably in the 2nd.

Keothavong through though.

Come back AD, all is forgiven

Holy feck... is that a woman? Laughing

Looks like David Ward - former surrey batsman.

As I said, if she's a pin up girl you poms are more farked than I thought.

Well it's fair to say pretty much anyone who plays tennis in this country is an inbred toff...

but fook me if ever there were photographic evidence - there it is.

I just put a fiver on Richard Gasquet at 51.00.

Aye - minging minger from the planet Ming.

There's no need to be so horrible chaps. She looks like a Princess......Princess Fiona.

by Brass Monkey Tue 24 Jun 2008, 15:57

I see no need to be that horrible. The apt description of 'David Ward' should've sufficed.

I very much doubt she reads the forum.

Really, you're hardly Brad Pitt, Bob and some of the rest of the people calling her a minger are hardly God's gift to women. We weren't all born with the 'beautiful' gene but we can chose to be decent, kind people though.

by JKLever Tue 24 Jun 2008, 16:25

Come now, no one here is casting any doubt on the fact she may be decent & kind.

And theres me thinking Yorkies were known for calling a spade a spade.

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 24 Jun 2008, 16:27

I think it's pretty cool of Bob to put up a picture of himself. Most people wouldn't have the balls.

Especially if they looked like that :| ...... (only joshing Bob you remmer Wink

)

by embee Tue 24 Jun 2008, 16:31

You'd really need to see a picture of her that isn't an action picture of her mid-shot ...before you can decide if she's the fem-mirror image of Big Bad Bob or Brad Pitt

by Lara Lara Laughs Tue 24 Jun 2008, 16:35

She has potential...

It's an extremely bad picture picture, that's what I'd say if I was calling a spade a spade.

I know you all think you're being funny but sometimes when you've been the butt of a few snidey remarks or read comments like Bob's a few times too many, it wears a bit thin.

Meh... you sound like my mum. I feel duly chastised...

by eowyn Tue 24 Jun 2008, 17:06

Good.

Actually I think being the mother of 2 red-headed girls has made me very defensive about that kind of thing, so I probably do sound like someone's mother.
