I've just arrived at work, and I was letting you back out without you losing too much face

Been a funny old day really, on any other day a British guy beating a top 3 in the world player at Wimbledon (in straight sets no less!) would be headline news (how many times did Henman do that? I dont think he ever did!) but I didnt even know he'd won till I watched the highlights!

Click to expand...

You really have no clue about tennis do you? The head to head between Henman and Federer is 6-4 in Henman's favour.

Did you watch the 2003 Paris Masters? Henman beat Federer and then beat Roddick the following day, both in straight sets. You just happened to miss that headline I suppose. But then you only follow tennis for 2 weeks of the year...

Crikey I come on here and find i'm getting crucified for my lack of tennis knowledge (something I never claimed to have, i'm a 2 week (plus maybe the other grand slams) tennis watcher like 90% of other people) didnt realise this made me banned from making comment on it?

Shame then gambitt went off on a rant about my tennis knowledge whilst not actually answering my original observation!! Henman won lots of tournaments against lots of players I know that (and beat Federer at wimbledon when he was younger) but my point was how many times did he beat a top 3 player at WIMBLEDON? Not pretending I know that he never did but nows your chance to proove your superior knowledge

bwhahahaha!!

That's very funny indeed, coming from a guy who thinks Nadal is a power player

I can name 20 players more powerful than him. I bet you couldn't even name 20 players at all without the help of the internet. His greatest asset is speed. The hallmark of his game is getting around the court quickly which is why he's so good on clay. He's a retriever. Hewitt is a counter-puncher, like Murray, he feeds of his opponents power. But of course Gilly, you are allowing me to save face becuase you already knew all of this

I've tipped up Nieminen to win today and he's the rank outsider (3 sets to 1). I'd love to se you post a prediction, then I can applaud and laugh and you

good god shutup, if other people's lack of knowledge irritates you to the point that you make yourself look like a complete arse in pointing out their errors then you're a very sad person.

Get over it!

I havn't been watching the tennis much, but is Sharapove still in? Whens her next game?

gambitt · 6 Jul 2006 at 11:24

I don't care what people's knowledge about tennis is like... it's when they start posting their ill informed views in a tennis thread, when they obviously don't even follow tennis and then insist they are right.

I don't know much about a lot of subjects, but when it comes to tennis I know my stuff. People like Gilly will always think they know best about everything

Where did I say I knew all this?

And where did I say Nadal is a power player? I said beat him with his power. He doesn't have to be a power player to do that, just have supoerior power, and I think he has having seen him play this year.

As I've said previously, if you hadn't been such an ass about your supposed fantastic tennis knowledge no-one would've said a word. It doesn't matter how much you know, just that you were being a **** about it.

Gilly said:
I don't know. I thought Hewitt would beat him with his pace. Nadal might beat him with his power.

So what were you saying here exactly? Nadal is the one with pace, not Hewitt. Nadal and power are 2 words that do not belong within the same sentence... you were probably just basing this on his biceps (which he loves to show off in that vest

).

I don't even know why you got involved.

I was applauding Tru

Gilly said:
And just think, he was calling someone else a noob

I wasn't even talking to you but you were just itching for a rise out of me weren't you

Gilly · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:32

No, I was just laughing at you How many times do I have to say it?

This thread is better than tennis itself - FACT

Gilly · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:37

Good. I hope you're going to be warned for acting up

Its what I would've done when I was mod here.

gambitt · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:37

well you aren't a mod anymore, and you just broke the rules

care to point out the rule for "acting up"? LOL

Gilly · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:39

What you've done comes under the trolling and treating others with respect rule.

gambitt · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:41

you are trolling as well.. and throwing in outright personal insults for good measure

James_N · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:42

I come in here to read about Tennis and find something totally off topic.

Why do most threads on this forum tend to go OT 99.9% of the time now

Nismo · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:42

Advantage - Gilly

gambitt · 6 Jul 2006 at 15:46

wow, I'm so surprised to see Gilly's cliqey mates come in to back him up.

Why is it Advantage Gilly anyway? He just broke the rules, plain and simple. I guess you 2 are good friends
