Choupi THANK YOU for a lovely review of my message board P&C - Have I seen M play? many times each time is a unique great match too. But please be warned, do not have an expensive manicure the day before you attend. Unfortunately M (playing Tennis) on TV is a quite rare programme, so its really nice that he has thought of us and put himself available on worldwide TV for us every Sunday.... (Ok so I am including a 2 inch by 2 inch fuzzy box internet speed connection as TV). Now... in dreamland.... he could always grow his programme into 24hr ZabTV - available on Channel 345 of all Worldwide Satellite networks. - but then again - maybe this is the plan.................... Ok... Time to leave Dreamland and concentrate on more important reality matters (like telling Kitzfan how many "soapdolls" are required......)

Hi gang! Louise and GWH, how long did you chat on Sunday? Just curious. I had a VERY sleepy Monday. Cheers, egg from the land of langos Egg We are still there..... - haha the chat officially ended at about 2.45am (British Time) and it may go down as the longest chat in the history of the site - (8.30pm - 02.45am) - wow!

Oh and to be totally honest
I think a 24 Hour TENNIS Channel available on all worldwide satellite channels would be a good thing! - with a choice of classic matches (that do not include Agassi, Rodthingy, Sampras, and all the other STANDARD so-called "favourite players on it"
There's 24 Music channels... and they consist of videos so - maybe I will contact Sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even if its Pay-per-view - I am sure REGULAR viewers all have a list of matches they would love to watch again!
OH and there's 24 Hour Golf and Horse Racing too...
One thing..... do NOT call me emotional or obsessive before you actually get to know me!!!!!! - it annoys me.

I would really like to know how you found this message board too. If you had no idea who the guy was, how did you find this board?
I admit there are some "HERO WORSHIP" sites on the net but this is NOT one of them!!!!
We do not OBSESS here or get EMOTIONALLY attached to players etc - we come here to discuss one tennis player's CAREER predominiantly AND to arrange trips to meet up and see "Said Player and his friends PLAY Tennis!!! - ie what they are PAID to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Choupi: Hi! Well, you seemed very shocked that somebody should come here, just because Mariano looks hot, and I was thinking about the reasons based on which some players were designated to stay at home, and I admit, they were not necessarily strictly tennis-related. To Louise: 24/7 tennis channel sounds lovely, but I don't think you should ban said players. It's always fun to see them being beaten! ;D

We found him on searchweb. P&C I don't really like your attitude P&C - you seem to be implying things that I really cannot be bothered to get into. With regard to your question? That's easy! - its called having common sense and having a sense of humour. If you can't be nice and respect fellow posters and the required friendliness of this board, please go somewhere else to post.

We haven't been unfriendly to someone on this board, not more than you have louiselp. We wanted to know more about his playing and talking about his sense of humor, don't think he would be upset if someone told him that he's good looking, it's for fun relaxxx ;D

Hi everybody, Look, I'm off just for one day and what happened here? Louise, I was shocked with P§C's very first message. It took you a bit more time to realise they didn't understand the topic of this board.
Egg, P§C didn't shock me in saying M's hot, it's true! They shocked me 'cause they dared ask one private question without even knowing M's a tennis player. That's all.

Choppy:[glow=red,2,300]DARE?[/glow] so it's ok if you ask but not if we do? if someone asked us if we have a boyfriend we wouldn't be upset but you guys seem to be very emotional with M, taking everything deadly serious even though you say you don't. you're a little bit unfare Love P&C

Don't be upset when asked if you have a boyfriend. But when I meet someone for the first time, it's not really the very first question coming to my mind. I'm not emotional and I'm not unfare. OK I'm serious about certain things. Especially when it comes to someone's private life. And even more when it comes to somebody famous. I'm not fond of those who want to know everything of famous people's life. Take it as you want but that's it.

Choupi Thanks - I appreciate your message ------- Polly and Cathy How can I spell this out to you in words of one syllable that you may understand. Fact - Some of Mariano's friends come here, AND for all I know he may also read these messages too, he knows about the site, and is quite capable of using the internet. Fact - I have been doing this site for 4+ years now and I am still waiting for HIM to tell me to stop doing it because I am too Emotional or whatever you wrote about me. Fact - Instead of having the above fact! - He has instead on numerous times thanked me personally for the support and told me how much he really appreciates it. This too probably explains why I KNOW he would have understood my JOKE as a JOKE like the rest of the people that read it thought. Fact - I am not going to stop this because a stranger suddenly drops into a board of good friends and starts trying to calling the shots! Fact - My HUSBAND is NOT impressed by a few of the things you have posted/implied. How the hell would you feel if some girls were asking personal questions, and THEN when the girls get their answers they turn round and accuse the people answering their questions of being Emotional and Obsessive? and then attack the Webmistress of this site too??? The answer is simple... Polly and Cathy - if you think we are too emotional here.... please go somewhere else. If you want to drool over someone - go to www.100top hunks.com or some other site that can cater to your "fantasy" minds - leave us alone. Love and best wishes Louise

Did anyone see Mariano's show yesterday?
I had an annoying virus thing that caused me to miss it (haha).
There is a brief summary on the MTF Zabaleta Show thread (in the MTF board - click on the link) but I wondered if REGULARS here saw it?

Hola! I saw the show yesterday (not entirely, i must admit, i remembered about the show 10 mins late ). The interview with cañas was very good, and was a great idea broadcast it the same day Cañas won in Shanghai(Awesome match! ;D) I don't have pretty much to add to the MTF people review, the show in general is very good and it's so nice to see the "behind the scene" of the tennis players in a different view than the pretentious other tennis tv specials, that just focus in the glamour of the tennis lifestyle. In this show you see the guys being just like everybody else, so far from the "tennis hero" thing and that is what i like most, it's so natural and funny and nice (specially mariano, guga & co... they must be the funniest guys in the atp!) And about Mariano, i see a progress, looking back to the first show, he's loosing and showing his hosting talent through the shows, really making it very well. Besos, Ma.

Excuse me for this intermission in the P&C discussion.
Hi P & C
I think the problem here is not if Mariano is or isn't hot or if you must see him playing to be his fan or if you can just focus on his looking.
You have all the right to be his fans without even care about his tennis. I'm the exact opposit, i'm an strictly tennis fan, and i just care about his tennis, but i respect your way to think.
what i find irrespectful and tasteless is asking about someone's private life to third persons. It's not the same if i ask You about Your boyfriends, ok? Because you have all the right to say or do what you want about something is yours. So if you want to know if Mariano have a girlfriend, go and ask him, and i don't think i'm or anybody here is being emotional, i think it's just about putting the things in their right places.
Hugs, Ma

Choupi and Ma: you seem to understand that we're NOT interested in a fight here. that's good! Louiselp: it's a very good site here and we've never said that you should take it away. next time you meet M you should ask him if he wants to be a member of this board because then we can ask him in person. it's after all a known Zabaleta site - or at least that's what we've read. Love P&C

Dear P§C, I didn't know there was a fight. Just people giving their personal view about someone's other view. Louise, do you think that M. should have to join the board? I mean, is this board not dedicated to him? I think you should explain P§C that he doesn't need ANY authorization or invitation to come here. He will always be the honourable guest. He's the one this site is for! Isn't he?

Yes - - thanks for your post of understanding Choupi Louise, Thank you for understanding ME too! I've been quite upset by P§C's messages. Who are they to judge us this way, and especially you, the administrator? It's the very first time somebody writes this kind of things in here. I repeat again, it took me hours to read all messages from this board (old and new). I wonder how old they are, though I may have an idea...Well, that's life, isn't it? If you see M. please, tell him that WE are real fans, not fake ones, as he must think so after reading those last messages...We must deserve his thankfulness for our support just as he deserves our support.

First of all, welcome to all the new members! But somehow I feel a bit uncomfortable here now. I am a naïve person, a believer, no question about it, but I still hope we have only a misunderstanding here, we can solve it or at least we can move forward. How I see the situation: - I think we can agree on the fact that Mariano is good-looking or hot or you name it, but you know what I am talking about - We have different views on the issue why we like him, support him, whatever (I am going to start a new topic with the title: why? to go further into this issue…) - We can accept and understand these different views and motivations - And at the same time we respect these different views and respect each other (which is more important for me), we are friends here - And not to forget about his (and anybody else`s) privacy. This is not the place for gossiping (thank God! It is not… and it shouldn`t be…) - Somehow I feel that everybody seems to be offended somehow and has the need to hit back…. , but please do not! PEACE PLEASE!!!!!! This website for me used to be the nicest place on the net to discuss about tennis, tennis players or at least about one special player – without any fight and filled with respect. With respect for each other, respect for the motivation and the preferences of each other (Thank you Louise for taking the Alex Corretja pictures last year in Paris for me! Highly appreciated – if I failed to mention so far!!!!). So, P&C congratulations to your taste in men! Not bad. Not bad at all. (Even though he is not on the first place of my list of hot men in the ATP…, but I am female and I am not blind…so I have to admit it: he is a very attractive guy). The answer to your initial question can be answered only by Mariano himself. We can guess, but I do not see a reason to do that. So, if you wanted to know anything about his marital status and nothing more, you have the answer. You know how to act after that. If you think, that you are still interested in any discussion about Mariano Zabaleta, please feel free to add your comment regarding him and his activity, but I do not see a reason to offend each other. If you lost the interest: it was nice meeting you, see you at some other discussion board of single and approachable players (there are some, check it on menstennisforums e.g.…). I hope you see my point, it hasn’t meant to offend anybody. But I wish to go back to this lovely place filled with harmony and understanding. I know I am a dreamer… but I do not give up!!!! At least regarding this issue…. Love, kitzfan

I'm also some kind of a dreamer, but I can't stand being "attacked", so I had to answer. I tried to do it respectfully and I hope it was. So, thanks for helping close the debate!
