Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[Janus]

So because he is so good we should assume he would be a campaigner if he was crap??????

Blah...

This blog I found explains it far better than I could:

Roger was asked first to receive the plate. He started confidently by saying,"Hey guys". The crowd roared and clapped. "Thanks for the support", he said. The crowd admired and applauded in jubilation. He then did the unthinkable. He put his head down, the crowd cheering, took a deep breathe and said, "God, it's killing me". No one knows what 'it' he was referring to. But everybody knew that precise moment that he was heartbroken. The guy was sobbing like no one has ever done on the podium. The tears of sorrow were flowing not like tap water from Indian municipality pipes but like water gushing from Niagara falls. He was wailing. Everyone including the dignitaries on the podium were dumbstruck. Rafa din't expect this kind of reception for his first hard fought hardcourt slam victory and obviously his celebrations were muted.

Rafa as usual, started his victory speech on the stage by saying sorry. The crowd din't like the apology for his hard earned title. It was evident the way they laughed after hearing it, instead of applauding it. No body knows why on earth he apologizes to Roger. Some say Rafa is humble. Some nut heads argue is he humble enough to hand him the FO title if they meet in the finals again.

The finals are now being remembered as the day Roger cried like a kid. He was unstoppable. It's as if he was literally begging Rafa by saying,

"Can you please get the hell out of my way till I achieve the coveted No.14 and No.15 slams. I do not know what else to do to counter your bloody top spin forehand to my backhand. You were running me ragged and I am feeling ashamed that I cannot cope that. I am the most talented player that ever since tennis has been introduced and you have been tormenting since you were 18. I am even afraid that you would take the GOAT status by winning slams on all four different surfaces. You've already won the Olympic Gold to add to my misery. Your game is not even half as good as mine and yet you were able to achieve the same reputation and stature as mine with lesser Grandslam titles punctuated with not even 50 weeks of No.1 ranking. 15 years down the lane when we both retire, people will be talking your name the moment somebody says Federer is the greatest ever. I can never digest that fact.

I thought I could sweep all corners of the world with my game, glamour, dignity, smile and grit. You have a fake smile and you can't even look straight into the eyes of the interviewer while talking. I thought we both had a mutual unspoken agreement that I won't take your French and you would not take my Wimbledon. You have violated it and are now taking my hardcourt titles as well. I would love to see you once struggling with your knees at my finals in the French Open'09.

I am a Leo and love hogging the limelight. I know I have loads of ego but it was never so evident on the courts. People mistook it for my humbleness which has done me a huge favour for my global fame. I am even getting ridiculed by non tennis people like this stupid Rock who minces no words and loves to see me getting beaten. Thirteen - Six is our head to head in favour of Rafa and I still do not know how much more he wishes me to lose. How I wish to see him cry after taking a dig on his weakness for programming? What more should I do to please the small minority of tennis fans who are not mine ?

I would not have bothered if you had all the shots in the book like I do. You have a ugly double handed back, some sort of serve that doesn't justify your muscle. You started hitting the ball really hard of late and tennis is not to be played that way. You are hitting me now below the belt and I am unable to stand those blows. You don't even have fans crying for you after your marathon loss. I have ladies, gents and gays weeping all alike for my loss. I am such a tennis phenomenon which the world hasn't seen ever before and ever after my retirement, and that is why the mere thought I lost to some rusty lefty from Spain, is killing me !"

All the hullaballoo Nick creates makes him super likeable in my book.. granted I hardly ever watch tennis but the fact he rustles dead shit boring twats like David Wildy is fantastic.

And exposes the anglo-centric racist undertones of the kind of people who populate AA's airwaves.

People hated Lleyton the same and he was actually successful.

It's no different to before and that's a very long bow to draw for racism, we just hate tennis players.

Must have missed the bit where the AA crew hated Lleyton. Probably because I was distracted by their even-handed treatment of Rafter and Philippoussis.

Yea if only Nick from West Lakes huh lol the tune would certainly be alot different on bozo radio adelaide

 

[tribey]

Federer does have 17 grand slams and a few stints in the Swiss military to his name. I don't see Nick signing up to the army.

Kyrgios does national service: clear and present danger to life and limb in places such as Afghanistan or Iraq.

Federer does national service: may have to go to war with his brothers-in-arms over the last Lindt ball, walks away with an ingenious gadget that will allow him to cut up apples, change the satellite's trajectory in Goldeneye.

People only started liking lleyton when Tomic, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, Groth etc came through because how much heart he has and how little heart the new group have.

Is that from "blogs for flogs"?

Not the adelaide media though they have always polished his orb.. from KG's leave the kid alone to old' Wrinkles praising everything he's ever done (from his unbiased family friends connection)

If Nick was from West Lakes he'd be treated the same

Somebody, somewhere always hates somebody for something

I'm more focused on the world tennis media, not the SA media. It's an international sport so you have to take the international opinion rather than some pissant's opinion.

Yea well that's a good point, I'm not sure the media across the board are the best reflection of who's loved and hated by the public though do you? Lleyton always seemed pretty popular anywhere he played despite any "he's a brat" stuff published in his early days.

This must be what they mean when they say "he works in mysterious ways"

I laughed and laughed at Nick having a battle of wits on twitter with Tex before he realised that Tex was only 1/2 prepared.

You inferring that Tex is a 1/2 wit?

 

[Byrons Firen]

Well that's for you to say. I couldn't possibly comment, or add anything more.
Put it this way, the guy's a good footballer but I think he might struggle with revolving doors.

 

[raman]

He implied, you inferred.

 

[wannabejack]

Oops. Initially I had 'You saying' but thought I'd be smart. I guess Tex and I combined make one wit.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

He's just a big lovable country lad Tex herp derp.. which really = a big dopey moron that shouldn't be let loose on social media.

[Contested Marx]
