You watch a football match which lasts 2 x 45 mins and you watch a tennis match which lasts hours. The football players are continually spitting, whereas you never see a tennis player spit!!
The tennis players 'gob' in to a big bucket in the Wimbledon changing rooms before they come out on court.
Sharapova is currently the leading 'gobber' with 2 litres which beat Arthur Ashe's previous long standing record of 1.5 litres (but his was produced during a particularly hot and dry 1070's summer).
Sharapova is a heavy grunter during play... she's actually warming up her throat for the final 'top up gob' when she returns to the changing room after the match.
I give up..................... I just wanted to know if you'd noticed! It should have gone into Chatterbank but for some reason it didn't! Like I say, I give up!
I agree completely coccinelle. The whole culture of spitting on the football field is disgusting. What really makes me fume is when they show pre recorded highlights and still leave it in there. PS you don't see cricket players spitting either. DISGUSTING!!
