The "ladies" final is an awful match up, I can't stand either one. A rude, arrogant lard arse versus Belgium's answer to Albert Steptoe.

I think Henin is marvellous to watch. One of the best backhands in tennis. Truly remarkable the racquet head speed she generates particularly given it's a single-hander. I lost all interest in women's tennis when she jacked it in but I think it's great for the game that she's returned to give Serena a run for her money. I'll certainly be watching it.

Oh yeah it's fucking DEVASTATING when we don't win at tennis.

You guys would have a bus parade through the streets of London if someone from Britain won a game of 'Go Fish' against a foreigner.

Given the fucking adulation afforded to Bernard Tomic and Casey Dellacqua over the last 2 weeks, that's a bit rich.

Don't forget 'Aussie' Anna Ivanovic, 'Aussie' Kim Clijsters etc.
Apparently Justine Henin's dad once watched Crocodile Dundee, I'm sure she'll be 'Aussie' Justine by the end of the tournament.

Rafter is a gentleman, and I like the underpants that he endorses.
Walk in the park for Federer. Murray will have to play the game of his life in the final if Federer maintains this form.
This women's final is beginning to take off now....
Gorillas in the mist?
Are you for fucking real?
Are you for fucking real?
Ryan,
You accuse me of being "race obsessed" but it's things like this that make me so angry and fed up and it's comments like this that, I (and I'm guessing most people of colour) have come across throughout my life and every time it happens, especially when you think you've gotten to know someone a little bit and trusted them a little bit, your heart sinks.
I appreciate that you've apologised but there's no excuse for the "joke" in the first place.
*pissed off*

I must have been drunk when I typed that.
It was obviously a joke, but apologies nonetheless.
[/quote]Ryan you don't need me preaching to you I'm sure, but that remark goes way past 'joke'.
It's gross and totally unnacceptable.
We made it clear recently that wherever possible we would not inform 'in thread' regarding bans, but in a case like this an exception needs to be made, as we need to make it very clear that this isn't acceptble on this site, so with that in mind you have a 2 day break from the site.
Andy.

Stop banging on mate, I mean Racism isn't as bad as it used to be so you and all other non-white should just shut up and accept it.
As bad as his Nig-Nog comment for N'gog.
