To grunt or not to grunt - that is the question???? Grunters seem to be making more noise than ever at Wimbledon this year.  Personally i find it very off putting and think players should be penalised.

Tennis has been won by many people who don't grunt, it can be done.

It is of-putting and I'm glad they have been cautioned.

Grunting is so uncool (getting down with the kids, lol) i'd hate to live next door to one of these people when they have a 'night of passion' lol

Ron, I take it you dont like tennis?

What I dont like is the fact that many seeded tennis 'stars'  totally treat spectators (many who have paid a lot of money) with contempt, and also how arrogant they appear to the ball-boys/girls who stand there, constantly at attention for hours in the hot sun, just to enable them to stage a game.

Michael, not only do I detest the head nodding tennis, I forecast 'our' Scot Andy Murray will NOT win Wimbledon. There you go dear friends, you heard it here first MURRAY WILL NOT WIN WIMBLEDON! Ah, that's the power of POE!

Well now - all the cautioning came to nothing - the Williams sisters gave a superb display of grunting in stereo today. Am about to join team 'Ron' :o))

Sorry people but Tennis is a terribly boring sport but each to their own i suppose, being from wigan i"m a massive rugby league fan but even the once mighty wigan fall on hard times and for the last few seasons we have been struggling and i dont mind admitting it
