Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive

There's always HOPE, well we HOPE so, as Wimbledon passes into it's second week and Andy Murray edges nearer to failing yet again to reach the FINAL, let alone win the darn thing and at least clock up one Grand Slam in his uneventful career. You see he'll NEVER win much but as a nation we have that annual misplaced HOPE that he will - aren’t we ALL funny! Even his Mum didn't give him much of a chance of winning TODAY let alone any other matches on this morning on TV.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him do it but basically all the other players would have to be ill or injured for him to do it and that just ain't going to happen, oh and they are much BETTER than him, so maybe it's time to face up to the music for our No 1 HOPE.

We need academies we're told and now there's even a Coaching Academy that's being built to get our National Coaches singing from the same hymn sheet in a very loud Best Practise voice. We'll see eh? Or maybe we won't as it's going to take ages for our grass roots sport to catch up with the rest of the world.

Poor old Andy, he's just over Henman Hill I'm afraid and it's a lifetime perhaps till we see a Grand Slam won by a British Athlete... It's all a bit rubbish really and you mark my words that Murray will be watching the final on TV just like you and me...

More tomorrow.
