Grandma always said to keep your words sweet in case you have to eat them.

I doubt the final will be as entertaining.

Kinda umami, but I don't mind.

 

[hatehabsforever]

This is pretty exciting.

 

[Tastycles]

We just got a silver and a bronze in the pommel horse. Seriously, we're pulling these medals out of our arse now! Pendleton busy smashing the opposition too.

 

[Lee]

Fuck yes!

 

[Remix]

Well that was sensational.

 

[Gelgarin]

Fuck Yeah!

 

[Gelgarin]

TNA! TNA! TNA!

When was the last time Federer lost in straight sets?

 

[hatehabsforever]

God, it must be crazy right now on Henman Hill Murray Mound.

 

[Diet Soda]

When was the last time Federer lost in straight sets?

2011 Australian Open Semi-Final to Djokovic.

(I didn't know that off the top of my head btw, I had to Google it.)

 

[Барбоса]

Quick question for the Brits: if Murray wins, would that be a bigger deal than if he won Wimbledon?

No. Not by a long shot.

It is a big moment for British tennis and for Murray himself in terms of a potential lift off point for the rest of his career, but Olympic gold is nothing compared to winning Wimbledon.

Chariots of fire is getting right on my tits like.

One other thing about Wimbledon: I remember hearing something about if an Englishman wins Wimbledon he gets knighted. Is that true or did I imagine hearing that?

I imagine so. Lots of official decorations get chucked at our top athletes. Though the last Brit to win Wimbledon was Fred Perry way back in 1936.

 

[Lee]

It's a lie but they probably will.

Murray's not English though.

 

[Gelgarin]

He is now, we're taking him. He's the new North Sea Oil.

 

[Lee]

Doubles now.

Is this 3 or 5 sets?

 

[Remix]

2. the third set is a tiebreak that goes first to 10. And a good start by the Brits.

 

[Lee]

Laura's doing well.

 

[Bernkastel]

Switching between China vs Austria beach volleyball and horse riding.

 

[nick p]

BBC Olympic coverage SO good.Lots of events, great commentary

 

[Lee]

Eugh.

 

[MrLamper]

Silver for Robson/Murray. Still an excellent result for GB!

 

[Remix]

Eugh.

And this.

Would have been a better result if Laura could keep her cool in games.
