        well done Murray. And what will it take for Inverdale to be ditched? This is hardly the first time.

        probably, but BBC content is not available in my region (the slogan of my Games so far)

        I'm not sure you're missing out much by not having Inverdale ;) but the rest is decent

        He's the first to win back to back single golds. Put your misogyny burning torch down.

        nice try, but Murray's response was much classier

        There is no nice try, Murray is only one to win back to back single gold.

        he is. And John Inverdale would have been entirely correct *if* he had said that

        Desperately seeking outrage. I dislike you because you made me defend that wanker Inverdale.

        It was the same when Murray won Wimbledon - first Brit since Fred Perry. *cough* Virginia Wade, 1977
