Ding donged.
Who should i be betting on? Much doing form-wise?
No Beeb coverage 'til Saturday?
Nice to see that Mark Williams won the NI Open the other week. I wouldnāt do anything daft like bet on him for this, though. Kind of lost track of the form recently Iām sorry to say.

In form lads:
OāSullivanās been well up for it this season so far
Murphyās in great nick and is 25/1 in some places still which is madness
Williams might surprise you. Just won the NI Open. Wifeās currently ill though so might affect him in the UKs
Trumpās got to a couple of finals. Wouldnāt rule him out.
Two biggest ānewā stars of the season so far - Yan Bingtao and Luca Brecel. Yan just got edged by a resurgent Williams in NI. Finally becoming the real deal. Luca Brecelās been unplayable at points this season.
My bet - I got on Luca at 40/1 after the Champion of Champions.
(All that being said, Selby will probably win it)
BIG SNOOKER CHAT at the moment is this new Taom chalk which apparently eradicates kicks. Some players swear by it. Others claim itās nonsense. But still, BIG SNOOKER CHAT.
i saw a picture of luca brecel recently and heās not a pudgy wee 16 year old any more is he

No heās basically a completely bald 22-year old Mark Allen with a fucking shitload of tattoos.
Think I slagged him before as being a bit full of himself but he aināt at all actually so Iāll retract that. If he gets going in one of the BBC Tournaments and people see just how fucking good he is heāll be a new star of the game for sure.

Quite a few relatively big names out in the first round - Hamilton, McLeod, Carter, Ding, Stevens.
Years havenāt been kind to Graeme Dott have they bless him
this boy who thrashed Hawkins has lovely hair
Giving Ronnie a run for his money, too. Good game this.
This Akani ladās got something about him.

Thought Akani had it there. So unlucky.
Incredibly impressive performance from him. Some of the shots he was playing were phenomenal in the circumstances. Enjoyed Hendry repeatedly saying āOoh, I wouldnāt do thatā only for him to pull it off.

He looks like heās permanently about to burst into tears. Shame he didnāt get a bit further after giving Trump such a humping.
Ohh, Sunny Akani! So close yet so far. He played a great match, and heāll go a long way if he can keep producing performances like that. Still, Iāll always root for the Ronster, so either way Iād have been chuffed with the result.
this is adorable
gonna pretend theyāre father and son

Yeah Iāve always liked Dotty. Fair play to him though - Iām happy with him getting knocked out if it means Stephen Maguireās resurgence is an actual thing. Would love for him to be back in the mixer properly.
Wonderful stuff. Not so much of a ānumptyā now, is he Ronnie??
Never even heard of this lad before, now I want to see him loads more often.
bit harsh for maguire to be 4-0 down here
whereās the scoreboard
