Let us know what you think..

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

It certainly was when Martina played!

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

No it isnt. Why would it be?
Tennis is a great game.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

OK..what's all this fuss about Henman then? He has about as much chance of winning Wimbledon as England have of progressing beyond the group stage of Euro 2004....

When we get an English (or British) champion then I shall start taking some notice of it - but until then, no. The same goes for the English footy team. I, for one, will not be wasting valuable time watching the likes of that fool Beckham; the result is a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid. Why bother?

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

If the result is a foregone conclusion can you let me know so I can stick a ton on it at Ladbrookes...

Thanks in advance!

(I must say that your stance is rather defeatist for an Englishman!)

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

gotta have faith!

england for champs!!!!

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Tennis is the only sport i watch Tealeaf, roll on end of june for wimbledon.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Yes...I can hear the cries of "C'mon Tim...C'mon Tim" echoeing around my mind already...How come at Wimbledon when the umpire asks for quiet there's always one prat who has to get one last shout in?

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Tennis is only good to watch for one thing and that's for the women players in their tennis outfits, come on lads admit that's the reason you watch Wimbledon.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Yeah got to agree Bagpuss Wimbledon the last outpost for good wholesome short outfits on great ladies bodies .:D

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Tiger tim is in the semi finals today. Which is very good.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Tiger Tim? The man shows as much aggression as a 3 day old dead kitten.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

See he got screwed over by an Argie. O well theres always next year and the year after and the year after that and.......... you get the idea.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Yes but henman plays his best tennis on grass, he is poor on clay, but yet managed to get to the semis on clay courts and played a good match against the argie.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Wimbledon is grass when did he last win it, or for that matter when did he last win a Tournament on or off grass?

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Yes but he has been in the semi finals 4 times, and he is pretty unlucky that he has not won 1 of them.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

The fact is Henman has won nowt. I've more chance of winning Wimbledon that he has.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

You could have got this one wrong Tealeaf.

Taken from yesterday's Sunday Express.
Nearly man Henman reveals his hard centre as he crosses fingers again for Wimbledon.
" It makes me laugh when people say I'm not tough. I've always had the killer instinct."
said Timmy.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

We should all be afraid. Very afraid......

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

I just recieved a tennis racket bag today, bought from ebay. Unbeaten i am, but to be honest the people i play just arent up to scratch.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

im unbeaten.

cant say i play.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

yeh same here....hehehhe

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Hey Slater...how did "Hard-man Henman" go on at the Stella yesterday?

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

that Ian Flanagan rank 868 in the world got further than henman....and on the bbc it said " The new Tim Henman,Ian Flanagan" I mean who wants to be compared to him!

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

By the sound of things Scott Slater.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

He's not short of cash or female attention so I would love to be compared to him - unfortunately I have neither.....I see everyone is participating in our national pastime again, I don't have much time for tennis and he does flatter to deceive but he's British/English so I'm 'behind' him. C'mon the English Tiddlywinks XI!!!!!

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Hey i won my mate 6-1 6-0 yesterday, damn i`m on fire somebody cool me down. Lets see if i can get a wild card into wimbledon hahaha.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Ian flanagan will not be playing a wimbledon after being knocked out in the qualifiers. He is the guy who got to the 3rd round of stella champs.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Well anyone watching?
Henman just won philloupousis(sp) hes through to the quater finals, could this be his year?

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Did he win him in a raffle?

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Ahem... and did they? :)

As for womens tennis kits... Anyone remember the best poster ever made... ya might have to be over 30 :) It involved an itch .... been reproduced I believe but never as well as the original.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

ok then he beat phillipousis does that sound better.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Not over 30 but I know the poster you mean Kipax. Not very convenient to have an itch in that place when you're in a crowded shopping centre, luckily for us she didn't seem that self-concious!

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

The one I remember wasn't in a shopping centre, unless you mean the poster was in a shop window.

I saw it in the Athena shops. Are there still Athena shops? I stopped buying posters years ago.

Re: Is Tennis A Puffters Game
 

Slightly off....still, Kipax, I assume you're looking forward to England playing tonight.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Ceejache I think your reffering to an updaed one..not the original... Just done a quick google to see if I can find the poster... I couldnt but what a pleasent 5 minutes hehehehehe

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

OK. It was a tennis player stracthing her behind. The shopping centre thing was a joke!

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

I promise not to say anything else tonight about "Tiger Tim"....by the way, where's Scott?

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Why is it we always have to ridicule the country's best at everything? It's almost like some people want them to fail so they can kick 'em when their down - the same people who would be cheering if they won something for the country. A sickening and disappointing attitude.....

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Henman got smashed by an unseeded player in the quarters today.......as we always say " there's always next year and the year after and the year after that." I personally don't think that Henman will ever win Wimbledon.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

What a suprise. Henman out in a quaterfinal. What are the chances of that happening again next year?

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

I think it is a testament to the guys strength of character that he keeps coming back with the inner belief that he can win it despite the repeated disappointments. Its not a surprise that people ridicule him every year for trying. What are the chances of that happening again next year? Why do some of us feel the need to mock our finest?

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Its a shame and i dont think he will have any chance of winning the grand slam now. But he got £313,000 for his quater final venture, so laugh all you want tealeaf but he is the winner with that kind of money.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

I'm not laughing;I'm disgusted. Are you seriously saying that this clown Henman has just been rewarded with a third of a million quid for doing little more than turn up for a couple of knock-abouts with a racquet & ball? No wonder British sport is in the state it's in....well, you stick to your puffy tennis. I'm off to Henley tomorrow to see a bit of rowing, a sport where we don't have hype, looney money or hysterical, screaming post-pubescent schoolgirls; we just have world champions.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

oo tea , i like tennis, but have a great day watching the beefy boys rowing// c/y soon.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

He was on court more than any other player.

Rowing whats all that about tea?

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Can't blame little Timmy though can you.. He has been brought up playing Tennis. Finds himself to be so good at it that he is the best in his country and as you say theres "hype, looney money or hysterical, screaming post-pubescent schoolgirls."

Whats he to do? Turn it all down in case it upsets some bloke on an accrington messageboard... Nagh he is gonna go for it just as you would if you where good at Tennis and people threw money at you..

Cheer up :)

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

It's just a shame little Timmy was'nt taught how to win....still, I had a right good laugh (although, honestly, I would'nt have done if I'd have known about the dosh)

Rowing? just like any other sport, really....it's all about hard work, committment, skill, sweat.....the usual attributes. Just a shame that it's rarely found at the top levels of English footy or tennis. If it was, we could possibly win something for a change. Ah well, dream on you guys.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Is rowing your new thing now 'leaf now that our Rugby Union team took a pasting down under? Sounds like unless we aren't the best in the world at something you aren't interested! Sportsfan huh?!

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Just seen Matthew Pinsett and Steve Redgrave claiming their benefits down at Oak Street by the way!

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

What a fasinating comment, CJ...you really do need to be careful of what you're taking; I've heard there's a few bad batches around. Anyway, lets hope you're better soon. When you are, read this carefully:

1)As regards rugby, I do not recall making any comments on the England "Down-Under" tour, nor any result forecast. I think it's pretty obvious to anyone that since the World Cup final, we've gone way down. The team has changed substancially and the tactics have changed in Wilko's absence. All of this has been pretty obvious since the 6 nations when we were soundly beaten by the Frogs & Micks. However, unlike those following the beleaguered antics of our footy team, we have not been blinkered by our own stupidity into believing that all is inherently right and the championship would be rightfully ours except for outrageous misfortune.

2) Rowing is just another sport I like. In fact, I like most sports with the exception of those were the hype is greater than the reality, such as tennis & premiership/national footy. Any fool with any sense whatsoever could see what was going to happen to Henman and the footy team; unfortunatly, tribal instincts see otherwise. The great tragedy of English footy is that no one seems capable of grasping the reality and making the thought-out and cold clinical decisions that will lead to at least a fighting chance of reaching the World Cup 2006 finals. First decision - get rid of Sven & Beckham. I really doubt that will happen, though; England will continue to wallow in it's own cesspool of self-idolitry and mediocre footy.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

I was joshing to be honest but a couple of points. Be patient as I am currently battling with the demons of ether.....apparently.....

1. (Rugby)I never said you made any predictions about the tour. (Football)No-one was blinkered by stupidity into believing all was right and that by rights we would win. This needs spelling out it seems - we hoped we would win (sorry if that offends you) but never expected to. You put that idea into your own head to justify your bashing sessions.

2. Most of us knew that Henman probably wouldn't win, but again what's wrong with getting behind him and hoping? Again no-one said he would win.....your getting hype mixed up with hope.

Yes, yes....we're all aware that you want Sven and Beckham out and that an English manager should be brought in. I asked on another thread who you think should replace them.....I will ask again - which English manager has the credentials in International Football to take charge (Bobby Robson will not do it as he is at Newcastle until death). Any fool with sense can blame it on the manager and Beckham.

Tamezipan tomorrow so look out for the spelling mistakes.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Well said Ceejache!......

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Tealeaf, are you sure you arent a german or french in nationality. You seem to hate english sports persons.

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

Whats the difference between Tim Henman and Saddam Hussein?

Saddam has a court appearance today

Newk drops a bomb
By pedro
Wednesday, 28 January 2004

In an outburst that is sure to raise a few eyebrows in the change rooms, former tennis ace John Newcombe has questioned the substance of todays tennis professionals.
At the completion of round four of the Australian Open an obviously fired up Newk was back to his old serve-volley best. "What a bunch of soft cocks!" exclaimed Newk. "Most of todays pros are a barrel of spineless poofters, thats males and chicks. They get a little blister on their toe and it's, 'I can't play any more, I've got a sore foot.' Well I'm sick of it."

Re: Is Tennis A Pu**ters Game
 

I really think that tennis shouldn't be played so much
i know i may be offending people here but it is as if they make the rules up as they go along
