Murray's given me Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy

As we hear that Trinidad and Tobago football shirts have sold out in Scottish sports shops in advance of their match with England, we learn that Scots who want England to fail in the World Cup suffer from low self-esteem and a deep-rooted inferiority complex, according to Dr Alex Yellowlees, the medical director of the Priory Hospital in Glasgow. I already had a theory that Murray's histrionics and pain filled failure at the final point might be Munchausen’s. Now that I find myself wanting Murray to fail following his “whoever England are playing against” call to arms does that mean I have Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy? I’m off to measure my self-esteem.
