WIMBLEDON 1988- Men's Singles Final- It's Edberg v Becker...

[Raahh]

in the coaches box...

So Federer V Djokovic, 2014.

Gutted it isn't Nadal, or Grigor. Glad it isn't Murray, we might get more balanced commentary.

I think Federer may have it- and will be able to play a better game than against the big serving Raonic.

But Djok is hurting from the number of GS losses
He has only played Fed on grass once. At Wimbledon. He lost.
If the roof goes on, Fed is better indoors too.

I want a 5 set thriller, because I don't care who wins really. I am refusing to move form the sofa. My children will go to school Monday wearing pyjamas, and with a bag of crisps for lunch.

I am sticking with Virgin Pimms (a.k.a Peppermint tea)

Just read about Rafa pulling out of US - it's looking good for Roger as he seems to be very consistent.

Pesky - I thought you'd vanished off to South America!!

Judy Murrays going to be on Strictly!

well Im looking forward to the US open, the womens matches are always good at Grand slams, plus itll be nice seeing different faces(and legs!) in the mens side. .

It would seem that Dogs won't be at the US either

Interesting to see how Judy does on Strictly- outside of the sport, and people who are aware of what she does, she doesn't seem too well liked. (There have been some nasty posts on MN about her, for starters). And Strictly is often as much about popularity as ability. Seems an odd thing to put herself forward for. Maybe she's going to use it as a way of publicising stuff like Bally's training academy?She's bound to be interviewed on all the usual programmes.

I think Serena may be tough competition in the women's- she's obviously confident at the moment, and will be on 'home' ground. (Nearly said 'turf' but it's hard courts...).

Anyone but Shrieky

wish it was still turf. used to be, don't know why they took away the grass courts.

its supposed to be LAWN tennis!

Sorry, Raahh - anyone but Serena is what I'd say.

Have never forgotten her 'altercation' with the line judge at the US open.

Oh, I don't want her to win - I'd love to see Bouchard or Halep step up, or any of the identikit Eastern Europeans with blonde plaits but not Shrieky . but I think she seems a lot more focussed than she has for a while.

Anybody but Shrieky or Serena for the women's would be good.

Not sure why Judy Murray is so hated on MN. Hope she stays in Strictly for a while.

I like Judy. think shes prob doing it to promote Bally.

me too, anyone but Shrieky or Serena (I haven't forgotten outburst either but it seems tennis directors have!)

New mobile site is .

That is all.

it is pants, isn't it?

I can't work it out at all. But I am a Luddite.

Pants, my lovely ?

Its feckin shite is what it is.

Hate it so far !

I am trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.

But 5 minutes of it, I gave up.

It's lucky, i rarely use the app.

Have never used the app. Only ones I have downloaded on phone are ringtones and Wimby.

I am old-stylee. Hate these new fangled things.

Wow the mobile site is shite. Spoiling my bus ride home with that is pretty much the icing on the cake today.

Roll on the US Open. I'm in need of some tennis.

I'm fucked.

New mobile site is useless for me, it gave me a mahoosive headache last night. Big no-no for me being eplieptic. Flickering too....I get flickering in my eyes sometimes as a 'warning' a fit is about to happen.

Not ideal !

And now, whatever the techs are doing to try to remedy all the ishoos has pissed up my laptop. Keep getting that stupid 'open, save, cancel' message, then have to reload page to see post posted.

Not a happy bunny. Cos it means I'll see a lot less of you lovely lot.

That's really bad MrsV. They ought to be able to sought that out, because I doubt you will be the only person with that issue.

I know, Rafa.

Several posters have commented, and I think so far I am the only one who has been back.

On the thread on sitestuff, RebeccaMN is trying to help but it seems as if its just a case of "this is the new site, we're remedying some issues, but generally its a big fuck up so get on with it"....

There clearly are problems cos its mucked with me laptop too.

I don't know why the have changed it when we all seemed happy with it anyway ? I never saw any messages complaining about the 'old' mobile site, or any saying it was going to be upgraded to shite.

And I keep seeing messages saying its "much better, like FB".

If I wanted to use feckin FB, I'd be on there, wouldn't I ?

Aaaarrrrrgghhhh.

presspost>refreshpage>postposted (hopefully)

Right- what is going on? Yesterday, it was only when I was on my phone that I got the new fangled site. My laptap was fine.

Today, none of the OP/my posts are highlighted . Bloody rubbish.

Oh fgs, now it's changed back.

It's like 'flag/no flag' all over again.

Nightmare, hey babe ?!

Raaahh - I just had to go to customise & put all my prefrences for highlighting etc back in & that seems to have sorted it.

As I don't have a mobile for internet use the rest does not affect me , as I sit at my desktop to post!

it is ridiculous. Have they set up a 'Complain about the new look' topic yet- the number of threads about it that have sprung up, it needs it's own!

(they'd better not mess with the tennis ball!)

Its getting a bit better.

They should never have released it yesterday as it clearly was nowhere near ready to go live.

There is a thread in sitestuff, Raahh, I've been on whinging, but apart from some chat with Rebecca this am, no response from HQ or Tech at all.

Probably because they know it is a monumental fuck up.

By all accounts its still shit. Bit better but not much.

I wouldn't know, seeing as it ate all my battery on my phone earlier and I am charging said phone, and on thread lots of posters still saying its shit.

And someone earlier reminded me that its Bank Hol Monday so looks like we will be stuck with shit site for ages. Cos we all know 'they' all piss off on long weekends.

Shit shit shit. Its all shit.
