Early odds for winning AO:

Andy: 7/4
Nole: 7/4
Stan: 12
JMDP: 18
Fed: 20

Strange, another set of numbers! I could have sworn Nole was the favorite at maybe 4/5! Maybe they know something we don't about "behind the scenes!" Andy being co-fave; hard to believe! He already made the final 4 or 5 times to lose to both Nole and Roger; why assume he will do it again? Doesn't make sense to me! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :rolleyes:

Is this a troll message or what? Andy has done well at AO in terms of reaching finals many times. Now, Andy has become a man by becoming #1 (and Novak is running after women) and is expected to get over the hump this time.

p.s. Stan and JMDP getting better odds than Fed is interesting, even though I would not categorize it as unjustified.

In a way, its good that Roger is not being taken seriously for the title. He can play freely without much pressure and maybe get into the second week at least.

Are you disturbed? How is a question about the odds being TROLLISH? Get over yourself! :nono :cover :rolleyes:

I think I figured it out...Carol is 13 years old. OK, it all makes sense now. :p

I'm not 13 but you should say that to your "buddy" Front and someone else which like to provoke so much but apparently don't like the responds. I see (this is too much, the drop that filled the glass)) that I can't show a picture of Rafa saying that he looks better than your fav Roger which I don't think is an insult but this site clearly looks like a Roger's fan club and of course I have to be very careful what I say........no more words
Ok, then have fun with your idol, enjoy the time that he still will be playing and try to be fair and good with others which are not Roger's fans, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

First you said a few months back I wasn't mature, now you are saying a poster is 13 years old but you hold the title of moderator..:nono

Afraid it's the other way around, Carol. You're the one provoking others here, we simply reply to your posts. That's called defending silly statements and nothing else.

Ps Imo Nadal looks like crap in those photos but each to their own. Edited to say I'm actually not hating on Nadal here 'cos I've seen photos where he scrubbed up well but not those. They're terrible.

Sounds like you hold a grudge there, buddy. I can't remember what you're talking about, but my recommendation is "get over it."

I probably shouldn't have said that to Carol, but I did so jokingly - thus the emoticon.

As for my moderator status, it is one thing if I'm chastising her as a moderator - I'm not. I'm just another poster 99.9% of the time. And being a moderator is 99% about deleting advertisements and cleanup work to provide a good forum experience for all, so if you want the job be my guest.

Now if you can't see how Carol constantly trolls and is fangirlish in the worst sort of way, with not even an inkling of objectivity, I don't know what to say.

I've said one or two things to Front about his incessant badgering of you, but he doesn't quite have the fanboy(girl) thing down like you.

I apologize about the 13 year old remark, it is just that your adoration of Rafa really does remind me of a 13 year old's adoration of a movie star or musician. To each their own, I guess.

I don't idolize Roger, nor do I have anything against Rafa, nor against any of his fans or any other player's fans. What I take issue with is constant trolling and an inability to discuss tennis without continually reverting to getting into inane arguments about whose daddy is stronger.

el dude, I may respect your posts but calling me immature over something that you felt indifference about isn't proper..so I am not gonna to get over it! I am not built that way

Haha, ok, enjoy your resentment. How's that working out for you?

I still have no idea what you're talking about, though...nor do I care! Petty slights and grievances--especially on internet forums--really aren't worth hanging onto. There are bigger things to worry about!

You don't get it, it's not all about you or resentment..you cast expersions at posters without merits and then try to make them appear derilate which again isn't proper.. like I said I respect some of your posts but to attack me as being immature isn't acceptable

Yes, I don't get it because I don't know when I called you immature, or what it was about. If you feel so strongly about it and have been harboring a resentment for months, why not remind me?

And yes, I think it unwise to hold onto resentment about minor squabbles on the internet...ya know?

And as far as I know, I've only really had run-ins with you and Carol; don't talk about it like it is a general or common thing. "Without merits" is debatable. My issue with Carol is shared by quite a few, if you hadn't noticed.

I'm lost. You're the one complaining that I called you immature, now you're implying that we didn't have a run-in? You can't have it both ways.

It's very difficult to not be condescending but you know what you have previously posted....you said that you had run in with me ..why would you say that if you didn't have evidence of those incidents...bottom line el dude..it's not for me to try to make you remember what you said..we have spoken about this more than once because I pointed this out to you immediately when it occurred . Now you want to claim selective amnesia...Today I saw you do the same thing to another poster when she obviously didnt direct a post directly to you..you may be the one who is having it both ways

This is beyond ridiculous. I told you I don't remember, probably because whatever it was wasn't important to me. I tend not to hold onto minor internet squabbles. But if you choose to not believe me--for whatever reason, I don't know why--there isn't anything I can do about it.

That's why the internet is such a beast, once you press Send, its 4ever recorded in cyber history. By admitting your prior transgressions, it gives one the opportunity to take ownership of what they previously had said or in this case posted. No more from me.

Guys, its ok to be supporting a player on tour. Its everyone's basic right. However, it's not desirable that we post hate comments or do unnecessary debates. That's not good guys. And, this I say only as a general member of this forum.

These "fights" we sometimes have here are so petty and miserable.
Although it has to be said, usually Front does say something passive-aggressive towards Rafa, Carol flies in trying to attack Roger and it never ends. Your last argument was about who has the worse hairline, or whose hair is in worse condition.
Come on, guys. Don't be so childish. What's next? Whose schlong is bigger? :D At least take digs at the other guys too. :laydownlaughing
nehmeth doesn't post anymore for some reason, but he had so much beef with Wawrinka it was crazy. It became an ongoing joke. To the point where every time he would mention Stan he would add even the slightest insult, something similar to what I do with No2e.
