  1. @malcolmcoles @kieronhughes Some people have worked for years to merit that title. Unintentionally, but still.
  2. @malcolmcoles @kieronhughes Although it would be pretty unfair considering the number of SEOs eminently more deserving of the title. :D
  3. @jonpaulb78 It's my opinion that if Nadal and Federer were the exact same age, Nadal would have won more slams due to that superiority.
  4. @jonpaulb78 You're entitled to your opinion. The fact remains that Nadal got the better of him on every surface in their prime.
  5. @jonpaulb78 You mean the year Nadal withdrew and Federer beat that all-time legend of tennis Andy Roddick in the final? Haha.
  6. @jonpaulb78 How old was Federer when he was beaten in final of Wimbledon in 2008? 26? Young to be over the hill, that.
  7. @jonpaulb78 I would also not bet against Nadal adding more slams to his tally - particularly the French Open. Not sure if Fed is so likely.
  8. @jonpaulb78 Nadal also won more slams than both Connors and McEnroe; his place in history is assured. Would be on French domination alone.
  9. @jonpaulb78 Nadal took a while to adapt to other surfaces though, but he successfully managed it & bested a prime Federer on grass.
  10. @jonpaulb78 Federer is a great player, but stats boosted by coming after Sampras & Agassi's domination and before Nadal asserted himself.
  11. @jonpaulb78 In any sense, to say Nadal won't live long in the memory is frankly ridiculous.
  12. @jonpaulb78 If Nadal had emerged sooner Federer would certainly not have won so many slams.
  13. @jonpaulb78 You have to consider the quality of opposition in any era. You can't ignore that Nadal has dominated a Federer at his peak.
  14. @jonpaulb78 You say that as though grass wins are worth more than clay. Also, most recent match on grass Nadal won - Wimbledon 2008.
  15. @jonpaulb78 Fed's on wrong side of 10-18 head-to-head record vs Nadal & you can't think of anyone who can come close to him? #BBCSportsday
  16. @milessi No accusations of being a crypto-fascist?
  17. @badams As they start to abuse their position more & more, I see a lot of anti-trust hearings in Google's future.
  18. @badams More tolerable if they just said 'Google gots to get paid' instead of having Cutts &co babble on about how it's all for our benefit.
  19. @badams Google can do what they like, but it's the constant hypocrisy & lies that grate, e.g. less choice = better user experience.
  20. It's official then, Dave Whelan has made a complete tit out of himself.
