I wouldn't know about footie Jay - 22 over-paid "big girl's blouses" running around on grass, rolling in agony over the slightest thing, bad-mouthing each other and spitting all over the place

Then getting cramp after 90 minutes of kicking a ball about. Not my idea of sporting heroes I'm afraid..

Give me tennis any day - stamina, courage, technique, speed, acrobatics, strength. light-ness of touch, deftness, hand to eye co-ordination, mental and physical battling...the list goes on!

Murray World Number One -that's my next prediction

Tennis has had more than its share of bad-mouthing!

Nerves sometimes do get frayed -nothing compared to footie though! Don't think anyone's ever been taken to court for example...

I loved John McEnroes outbursts and Jimmy Connors -added colour to the game and was never really offensive.

Never really offensive? You cannot be serious!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that.

It was if you were a line judge

It takes courage to get up from the chair and carry on playing a match which has been going on for over 3, 4 or even 5 hours! No team to suport you -just you and your conviction that you can win...

As to Rugby -love it, all those big blokes grappling in the mud...Mmmmm!

Rate it 1000 times Footie!

First Grand Slam of the year has finished it's first week in Oz. Seen some top tennis -Djokovich has just gone through to the Semi's with a good win over Berdych but was lucky to squeak through the round before against a very strong Wawrinka. Federer is in great shape as is Andy Murray -both breezed into the quarter finals, they'll be playing tomorrow. Should be a week of great tennis ahead -C'mon Andy!!

Well done Murray, The final will be much harder though imho.

mobertol · 25-01-2013, 13:01

Was a great match, was on the edge of my seat -Murray's fitness level is incredible -out-classed Federer who fought really hard to hang in for 5 sets.

Should be a fantastic final - may the best man win on the day! C'mon Andy!!
