I've long believed that the UK lacks a dedicated sports newspaper, like they have on the continent (e.g. L'Equipe or Gazetta dello Sport) and this is my first (small) step towards filling that niche...

Congratulations Andy Murray
I know it's late, but better late than never, right? Well, I certainly hope so, because I must confess to being one of those who previously took Andy Murray to be a bit petulant and borish, and could never bring myself to support him completely. But now I have no choice but to admit that I was wrong - what I previously viewed as petulance, I now recognise as a burning competitive desire and a hunger to do well for his country and fans. His performances at Wimbledon this year were excellent, and his passion - now finely channeled by coach Ivan Lendl - was admirable. He's probably fed up to the back teeth with hearing about how he would have been hugely successful in any other era...so I just want to say well done for a tournament extremely well played, best of luck for future tournaments, and sorry it took me this long to become a fan. From now on, I'll be 100% behind Andy Murray...
