ENGLISH GREG

[CANV EFM]

hhhhhhhahahahhaaaaaa you blubbing [****!!****].. sure it was a shocking call by the umpire but fk me at blow up alert!! your supposed to be a professional tennis player, your salary aint to shabby, one would have expected a tad more mental resilience.. and to say people can behave like that at work?? i reckon if someone in this office threw a wobbly like that someone would slap them..

He has finally made to English tennis player

Middle class,middle talent,fragile bottle warbler

To be fair his outburst did actually prove his Englishness. There aren't that many Canucks who would use the word w*nker.

First sign all Wimbledon of a bit of 'character' returning to the game though, surely CANV??

i suppose so.. it certainly needs it.. it would have been better if he had been a looney canadian tho rather than a pretend brit

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I agree, wouldn't of seen that middle class public schoolboy do that, good to see some passion in the game. You'd hate it if a ball had crossed the line in a World Cup game and the players didn't go mental.

But only a bit

The winners who threw wobblies (John Mc etc) used the change in atmosphere the wobblie created to go on and win

Our newly found Englishman proceded to give up a winning position for coming second on the back of the tantrum

Just demonstrates his adoption into the middle class English "tennis thing"

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

When Greg won Nottingham he was "English number 2" in the papers.

When he "shamed" Wimbledon he was refered to as "former Canadian Junior Champion"

Hardly - he was two sets down at the time.

Correction (mine) Up in the set in question

[Colin Zeal EFM]

That is true!

 

And just to think - he would've played Tiger Tim in the final too! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It would have been too emotional for mere humans to withstand let alone stiff upper lipped Englishmen
