Where 's the Mods to cleanse this thread of Front's spamming every thread with his PED rants


Wtf are you on about ? I'm talking about people's weight you numbskull. As if anyone needed any proof that you don't read posts properly but there it is in case anyone happened to not realize this. Puppet Master and I were discussing people's weight. Learn to read properly ffs.
Front who think you are fooling , what's Rafa and Novak weight has to do with the topic of this thread"Early French Open Ruminations",.,Btw I am gonna give you one only warning,watch your tone and name calling .I speak of your behavior but I have yet to drop to the level of name calling. Be careful and grow up

Well it seems I fooled you, or wait a minute, actually it's just that you're a fool. I was talking about people's weight, including my own in that post but sadly your comprehension skills are so poor you think every one of my posts is about PEDs. You've called me miserable and a troll in the past 2 days so stfu mr goodie two shoes about not name calling and lol about you giving me a warning. What you gonna do, ddos attack me? LOL! :laydownlaughing And again, I was ACTUALLY talking about their stats being correct and talking about their weight so yes in this case you deserved to be called a numbskull for accusing me of talking about PEDs without even reading properly, or maybe you just can't.

Front: do you have ANYTHING AT ALL to discuss here that's relevant to the French Open?

Anything?

It's literally getting embarrassing to come in here recently. It's so unintelligent and full of Rafa-hatred, so illogical and incoherent and repetitive with this sh1t on every thread, I'm beginning to wish Rafa was still losing so the Fediots who go in for this fetishistic nonsense would restrict themselves to gloating, instead of the anxiety they express through the exact same depressing and stupid way they always do. It's like dealing with a rabble of angry teenagers.

Let's discuss the French Open here and STFU about your idiotic partisan theories! :mad:

You fail to realize much of the embarrassment is from Nadal fans :s

Again, do you realize it was AP there causing all the fuss and not me? Clearly you don't and that's the thing with you Nadal fans. You're an unbelievably hard bunch of people to get along with. I was discussing the weight of two players with Puppet Master and numptie there had to butt in with a stupid comment that I was talking about PEDs and yet somehow you make it out to be me at fault. F***king joke of a place.

There's nothing we're embarrassed about. You were gloating and mocking when Rafa was losing and now he won a few, you're back with the same lazy stupid Fedfan ignorance. Seriously, stay on topic because you're gone like a lunatic who can't discern sense from a black sack of rubbish. We're here to discuss tennis, not your masturbation photos of Rafa with his top off, or your delusional conspiracy theories about moon landings. This thread is about the FO... :mad:

Yes, I realize this thread is about the French Open you clown. I was talking to Puppet Master about the stats reported on bios being correct about their weights and even mentioned my own weight. NOT talking about PEDs and just minding my own business. See below.

http://www.tennisfrontier.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4628&pid=228460#pid228460

Then numptie here has to stupidly to reply with this gem here which you actually liked which just shows you're as annoying as he is here.

http://www.tennisfrontier.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4628&pid=228463#pid228463

And 2 days ago your same numptie friend started all this again as he also has today by taking the p1$$ out of me with this stupid post

http://www.tennisfrontier.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4628&pid=228399#pid228399

I only replied to his stupid post because he mentioned my nick in his dumb post, otherwise I was perfectly content to not even post anything in this thread at all other than Nadal trying to get the number 4 ranking back for RG. Go read back BEFORE AP started picking on me. It was a Nadal fan who messed up this whole thread. I was merely replying to the bs he started.

We know exactly what you're doing.

Talk about tennis. The French Open, in this thread. And it may startle you to know, but there will be 127 other players in the draw who aren't named Nadal...

You don't know what I'm doing. You didn't even read the thread properly and couldn't even figure out it was AP who started everything negative here. Read the whole thread from the first page and see my posts before he started on me. I was discussing tennis perfectly fine before he butt in. Tell him to talk about tennis too you hypocrite but first actually read the whole thread before falsely accusing me.

You go back and read the whole thread start to finish too and realize it WAS YOU who messed up this whole thread with negativity. Yes you. If you hadn't posted the dumb Nadal to Murray message mentioning me none of this would've started so blame yourself. No one here would miss you either.

I know what you're doing. You know what you're doing. Everybody above the age of 11 knows what you're doing. :cover

Thiem v Zverev. I think this is the kinda match where Thiem shows us something that separates him from the youths who are just a smidgen of a class below him. But is Thiem going to start to feel the weight of expectation, where he's kind of becoming default-setting The Next Rafa on clay, albeit a smaller version? It's being said cheaply that he's the next generation. I think I even read recently that he's a future French Open winner. These are fatal words, to a lads prospects. There are no givens. Can we expect a deep run from Thiem this year? And if so, will it make or break him?

Enough of this foolishness, I think El Dude's list is on point, I don't foresee any other challengers to take ownership of the title

I read back the whole thread to prove my own point and you should do the same. Again, you don't know what I'm doing and stop repeating that. I didn't mention a single thing in this thread about Nadal and PEDs till AP butt in with his dumb comment. Got it? No you don't 'cos you still didn't bother to read the pages before he started on me. If you actually bothered to spend the time to stop accusing me of stuff I didn't start it'd make for a refreshing change. I'm not gonna just roll over when someone picks on me in a thread for no reason but yet when I actually respond to his silliness there's only one person at fault. ME. :huh: More Nadal fan blind nonsense. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna watch that match later, should be a good one.

At present, the challengers are the same as the bookies odds:

Novak first, because he's the world #1, and been dominant for a century. He's not prohibitive, though, because he's never won it. I have a feeling this year could be more difficult for him than a lot of folks expect.

Rafa second, but gaining ground. However, if Novak asserts himself over Rafa in either Madrid or Rome, then Rafa slides back a little. If Nole fails to do this, and Rafa continues in his momentum, then he'd be what we might called "the secret favourite."

Andy third: made two FO semis in his last two outings, and has a decent, though not stellar, pedigree on the dirt.

Switzerland next, take your pick.

Then Thiem, and A.N. Other...

Me either. Hate serve bot tennis but kinda of a shame Raonic is injured so often and Isner is now pretty poor 'cos at least they add some variety into tournaments 'cos no one likes matches with no rhythm. Kohlschreiber made a mess of things against Murray last year but could do well and I'm keen to see if Monfils can do anything but he's not fit enough really.

There's a very slight chance Berdych does well, semis is a possibility. Keen to see how Kyrgios and Zverev do at RG too. I wish Gulbis would concentrate on playing tennis properly 'cos the guy could really be a dark horse if he channeled his best. On clay he's given Nadal very tough matches (actually on every surface) and he's beaten Federer twice.

Murray defends 1000 points at Madrid and Federer defends 600 at Rome so there's the possibility the number 2 and 3 spots may well change round pretty soon. Mind you, Federer defends a ton at Wimbledon and US Open too and can't see him defending all those. These 2 will likely trade ranking spots most of the year but getting number 2 back for RG would be good for Roger. Won't matter at Wimbledon with their points system.

Berdych is a strictly QF boy. It's actually in a contract he signed someplace. He won't disturb that top 8 sticky. He's currently ranked at #8, and has been for a record 5086 weeks consecutively... :p

Really haven't heard Berdych making too much of a splash this spring. Maybe Isner may get his service rolling

Monfils and jowillieTs are probably the French best hope plus the always dangerous pusher Simon
