i reaally dont understand all this anti henman shite! so what if he cant win it, at the end of the day hes british and the best we got so a bit of support wouldnt go amiss

personally i don't give a toss if he's british or not. the competition's about who's good at tennis, not what country they come from.

 

there's only all this anti-henman shite because there's too much mindless pro-henman shite. tim can suck my balls

Knowing you you dirty cunt he most probably has.

yawn

 

point still stands

I actually agree with you.

Who gives a [censored] if he wins or loses...OK, good luck to him but I dont personally care if Mr. Henman gets beaten. It wont change my life either way.

 

Its only a fookin game anyway.

Yeah but if Henman wins you become better looking.

It would take ALOT more than Henman winning to accomplish that amazing feat.

and henman is good at tennis! 4 semis in 5 years proves ur good surely! and theres defo more anti henman in this country its fuckin ridiculous!

we need to support our best sportsmen and women not knock em! thats the problem with this country no sense of patriotism! the one and only thing the americans have!

He he yet another 'joke' thread goes serious! I agree with everything you've just said Jon up to the bit about US patriotism. I regard such high patriotism as a bad thing, don't think its done America any favours with regard to the way the world views them. It just encourages xenophobic views imo

yeah thats true theyre a bit too patriotic but maybe its better to be like that than like us?

happy medium would be nice

interesting. patriotism is a very interesting thing.

 

maybe this should be over in the serious zone but why should anybody be 'proud' of where they're from. you just happened to be born there.

 

so many senseless acts of violence are committed in the name of patriotism. england has something of a repuation - in good ways and bad - for being a very patriotic country.

 

why do people wrap themselves in a flag and sing songs about how great their country is when they could so easily have been born anywhere?

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

we support our country or its sporting representatives when they face competion from other countrys or their representatives, it allows us a kind of weird 'bragging rights' and makes the country as a whole feel as one. everyone pulls together and and has a sense of togetherness, it makes people feel they belong together and good

how great must the country as a whole have felt when england won the world cup? it was mint when we beat the Argies in 2002, everyone was happy
