He's already well and truly there. Both based on achievements and certainly by level of play. I could see him being top 20 as far as level of play goes, perhaps higher if he becomes more consistant.

I hope Murray doesn't win BBC SPOTY - it mind send The Bawss over the edge.

I can hear him now as the key turns in the lock of his padded cell:

"But he isn't a slam champion, it was windy ah tells ya, WINDY!"

Murray has played Djokovic tight through all the matches they've had this year anyway, if it wasn't windy I don't see why Andy couldn't have won it anyway...

Murray would have won the US Open this year, windy or not.

Not that it's important in any way but I am from East Anglia originally but I move around a lot.

P.S: Even I will admit that "bawheed" is a good one.


Edit: Looks like one of the murraytard admins has been deleting my posts left and right. The censorship of free speech at its best.

I think you've contradicted yourself by saying that the cold hard facts is the most important way of judging player's careers. Murray won USO fair and square so if other players couldn't adjust to the conditions then tough.

It doesn't matter how much you argue that it was a 'fluke' slam. He's got one in the bag and will most likely add more in the coming years.

Look out for him at Wimbledon next year for sure.

I don't think we've met before but I'll save you some time: there is no use reasoning with me, my hatred for Murray is blind and devoid of concrete reason which is not related to his attempt to belittle and disparage the Engand football team and his horrible slimy schoolboy behaviour on court.

"What's wrong with you son?" asks his Mother.

"She's still a virgin Mum" he says, through his tears.

His Mother hugs him and says "You're quite right to leave her, Son. If she's not good enough for her own family, she's not good enough for you".

Lol, that joke probably isn't even funny in Norwich (because it holds so much truth).

Why do Scots wear kilts?

So sheep don't hear the zipper.

It's a well known Glaswegian term of endearment.

Do you remember Alan Partridge had a nervous break down and drove bare foot to Dundee?
