I understand this is fairly old, but it's doing the rounds at the moment and I've not seen it before and oh man... funniest clip I've seen in AGES!

See here

That is a forum for Andy Murray fans... I would no more expect to see non-Andy Murray fans beyond the odd troll there, than I would expect to find non-Chris Moyles fans here.

Having said that, there is no doubt that Ivan Lendl has been worth his weight in gold for Murray, the change was overnight and dramatic. It's very impressive.

I was just trying to back up the point that there are plenty of people out there who like him enough to have a forum about him.

There is probably a forum dedicated to Gary Glitter though so I'm not sure the point you are making regarding forums is valid but the one you make about him being more popular now is certainly valid.

I have been a long term hardened Andy Murray non-fan and even I am coming around to him now. Since Ivan Lendl came into his support team he has changed on court and off.

On court he is more aggressive, still a shouter but no longer a sulker, he has grit and fight which he lacked before and seems to have grasped the idea that it is ok to be expressive in his play as well as technical. He also, crucially, at last seems to actually realise that his job is a game, and is allowing himself to enjoy playing it. As a result, whereas previously I would avoid his matches, now I enjoy watching him.

Off court he seems to have continued that understanding that it is ok to express himself and he now interviews like a man, not a robot. Perhaps the first time many people noticed this was after he lost the Wimbledon final. You would have had to be made of rock to not be moved by that on-court interview with Sue Barker.

I have done a 180 and become an Andy Murray fan.

I know this shouldn't be making me laugh, but a man was killed in London by a metal sign falling off a William Hill Betting shop. I mean, what are the odds?
