EMMA RADACANU ON CHANNEL 4 NOW

Thanks for the post otherwise I'd never have known. Amazon previously said wouldn't allow it. Good on Amazon & a grudging thank you to my least fave Channel, Channel 4.

How good is it that they are not constantly trying to squeeze an advert in at every (in)opportunity? Channel 4 has just gone up enormously in my estimation.

marketing brillance. They know that the UK will get caught up in the new sensation..... children will be following Tennis of the back these Emma girl.

superstar

Emma

Thats put an end to any betting on S.P.O.T.Y this year.

Matched at 120 for spoty
500 for us open.


2.5 million dollars, very nice

Even 10 on looks a decent price now. Plenty of gold medalists from the games , but not even close to what that girls done.

I see the Queen and Prince William have sent their congratulations but not Prince Andrew. Maybe she's a little old for him.

Where were the BBC ?

Excellent news! The first I even heard of her were the headlines following her semi-final win. An amazing feat.

Absolutely awesome performance, already a superstar at 18!

Would love for her to take the prize, the result, the adulation, and, of course, the money ....... and retire from the game. Just turn her back on it and walk away. She's too nice a person to be put through all that sh1t.
I hope her parents take real care of her.

great achievement by both finalists, lets hope more tennis gets on tv like this, its one of the few sports where the womens game is as entertaining as the mens

Never watched any sport from Amazon Prime before and have to say the coverage was very good. Be great if they bought the premier league rights and we could watch them for £10 a month

Lads, calm down.  She's not British. She was born in Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother.

How dare people cheer her when she has only lived here since she was 2 years old.

Had my DNA done a few years ago. Turns out I have Scandinavian, Iberian, Baltic, North African & West African traces. Still British though.

We had French Kings of England who could not speak English, we have had a Dutchman become King of England and several sausage eaters from Germany become Kings of England. At least the girl went to school here!

No idea what you are talking about. I've always had a particular dislike of Thomas Linke.

Yeah, he's probably joking but it gets tiresome reading this "racism" crap from Giuseppe.

you're treading on thin ice sofa mate

do you want to be next?

How come lfc is still here then?

I have Giuseppe blocked. Makes the forum so much more pleasant.

Yes, bring it. And a battered sausage and chips while you're at it.

borderline mate borderline

you'll have to be less ambiguous

say something about ice cream or organised crime

Magnum PI

I was a lot more interested until I found out she's Romanian/Chinese. I mean, how can someone be ''British'' just because they moved here?

If I move to Jamaica and live there for the next sixteen years am I Jamaican?

I've seen your bets, no way you could afford a flight to Jamaica!

what you talking about? he's the best aftertimer on here

she moved to UK when she was 2 , grew up here , she is British

Nope, she doesn't have one drop of British blood. Therefore not British. Hope this helps.

Given the history of the British Isles you'd be hard pressed to define exactly what British blood is.

But each racist to their own.

funny i ve never heard the passport office asking for blood samples

sad to see so many racists on this forum.....

aye, it's disgusting, i've reported several of the comments on this thread

Raheem sterling was born in Jamaica, sport should be about the person or the team instead of nationalities which is why I hate international football

Are you having a ****g laugh Nobby?  How is that "racist"?   She was born in Canada to Chinese and Romanian parents so how on earth is she "British"?   I am a dual citizen living in another country but that doesn't make me American, Canadian, South African (or wherever I currently live) even if I live here for fifty more years.

betfair will be the judge of whether it's racist or not

lol @ "racist", everything is racist these days. Racism is defined as basing judgement of a person or team purely based on nationality contrary to other characteristics and a prejudice of some kind against other nationalities. Waving a flag around for someone you don't know based on the fact an individual has a British passport and wanting anyone who hasn't the British passport to lose technically fits that criteria. I wanted her to win as she seems quite pleasant with the unseeded shock factor but really couldn't give a sh1t how " team GB " gets on in the olympics, how En ger land with Jamaican born sterling gets on or a tennis player who could be eligible to play for Romania, canada, china and prob half a dozen other countries. We all support clubs with foreigners in the starting 11 and no one cares but when someone with a British passport wins we are greeted with grannys dribbling away next to fat middle aged men whirling flags around like satanic windmills. If you don't drool with gratitude at how marvellous it is, you are " racist " apparently- what a load of crap. If I was a talented tennis player as she is and won something it wouldn't be for " Britain, the queen, the corgis or some morbidly obese drunken slob living in carlisle clutching a flag with one eye watching the final and the other looking for the bus to come, it'd be for people that know me, trained me etc. I notice the Queen has sent her celebratory message lol

zzzzzzzz

The zzzzzzzzzzz was for Giuseppe. The "racist" schtick is getting old dude.

yes mate it's tedious give it a rest and get with the times

seems like wolfman is a racist too

As sofa said, it's getting boring to read Giuseppe

i'm not trying to entertain you mate, i'm trying to educate you about your bigotry

I'm sure you think your continual silly racism jibes are funny to countless posters but you just come across as autistic

you have a problem with autisic people now as well?

It's like the crazy guy at a social event, some times they can be reasonably ok but then as they start talking to themselves telling jokes where no one laughs continually with tumbleweed blowing past you realise there's something " not quite right " upstairs. Possibly alcoholism, autism or an accident year earlier

Are you related to mexico by any chance?

years earlier even * as apparently you're in your 90s

yes mate i'm 92. please show some respect.

and stop being such a racist

You probably need to spend your time focusing on accessing psychiatric treatment instead of night after night on here chap

So did she win or not?

ice cream sales must have plummeted

sofaking and wolf seemingly the only people on here with any common sense.

That was a small, fun bet, though I had contemplated having 1k on it. But I was balls deep on something else and my nerves couldn't take it. Made about £1800 from the England game, be happy to show you if necessary.

But you just keep on complaining about international weeks whilst some of us make hay.

Hmm , Giuseppe calling other people 'raycis' ?

Here is just a random internet search on the Giuseppe fans of Lazio:

***
Lazio fans (calling themselves Giuseppes) march through Glasgow making Nazi salutes before Celtic game in Europa League

Stabbings, fans (calling themselves Giuseppes) appearing to make Nazi salutes as well as supporters mocking former Italian leader Benito Mussolini combined
to produce a toxic atmosphere in a leading European football game Thursday.


Lazio were fined $22,000 by European football's governing body after home fans (calling themselves Giuseppes)
were caught on video making fascist salutes during the Europa tie against Rennes on October 3.

***

Giuseppe to change his avatar in 3,2,1..

Giuseppe, you got some splainin' to do.

poor giuseppe

The fascist has been outed.

"Nazi salutes"

Roman salutes

Hitler and the nazis copied it

Benny Boy was doing that salute in the 1920s long before the Germans

yes an element of the Lazio ultras are sympathetic to Mussolini

remember the fuss over paolo di canio?

"sofaking and wolf seemingly the only people on here with any common sense"

if by "common sense" you mean "racist" then I agree

If Emma keeps that whinging PR seeker Osaka off the back and front pages then more power to her.

you wouldn't say that is osaka was white

You're boring and extremely predictable, Giuseppe.  And a fascist.

you're a fascist

and a racist

I used to think Guiseppe was a decent poster, clearly I've misjudged his character as he is an epic d1ckhead with mental health issues- probably best people block the clown. He will probably be sectioned soon anyway

"I will watch women's tennis much more, for sure."

Jurgen Klopp has described Emma Raducanu as the "talent of the century" and says he will watch more women's tennis after the 18-year-old's #USOpen win

why wasn't he already watching it?
