to think that the BBC owe Virginia Wade an apology..

[cocoachannel]

..for the repeated references to Murray being 'Britain's first Wimbledon finalist' in 74 years'?

Ooh yes - YANBU.

Or all the various doubles players they're similarly snubbing.

It doesn't take that much effort or many more milliseconds to add the words "men's singles".

Ye another fail by BBC.

YANBU at ALL

YANBU

YANBU - especially as Jamie Murray won mixed doubles just a couple of years back.

Still over the moo for Grumpy Andy.

Yes, absolutely YANBU!

Especially as Jamie Murray won the mixed doubles in 2007 !!!

I was so incensed by them overlooking Wade I had forgotten about the doubles players!

Chuffed to bits for him though"

Oh sorry Lurked, x post

Well I assumed that they meant in the Men´s singles final as it was the mens singles that he is playing in.

No worries Mini. You knew the year :)

Jonathan Marray has just got through to the mens doubles finals so two Brits to support!!!

YANBU.

It would only have taken a second for them to add "In proper tennis"!

When I was watching the news they did state that he is the first Wimbledon male finalist in 74 years. I remember when Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1977 in front of the queen in her silver jubilee year. It would be fantastic if Andy Murray could do it for the diamond jubilee.

Well 5 live said this was the "single most important event in British sport since 1966".

Or words to that effect, but 1966 was definately mentioned

yanbu - and I bet all the newspapers make the same statement too.

What did 1966 have to do with British sport?

Is that a tongue in cheek question yellow?

Didn't Murray once say that he doesn't like being called British because he's Scottish or something like that. I think the rainy weather helped him win.

I hadn't realised Virginia Wade won Wimbledon... I also didn't know she was British. ...

The BBC should apologise... They have corrected and are now saying on their website that Murray is 'the first British man' since Fred Perry to be in a Wimbledon final.

No, it isn't.

Do you really not know what happened in 1966 then?

England won the worldcup football in 1966...The first and last time. pffaahahaaa

England won the world cup in 1966 not Britain, I believe yellow raincoat is from Scotland

yellowraincoat - how can you not know what happened in 1966? it is mentioned every single time without fail that England play football
