I've enjoyed this tournament more than any WC in recent memory. More exciting matches than Sexual Ealing would get on Grindr.

Yeah and me the only disappointment was Ronnie's thrashing, I was expecting a close match.

There's been a few classics, the other one that stands out was the one during Covid.  Both semi finals were up there among the best matches I've ever seen.

Yeah, the McGill-Wilson match especially was fantastic.

7-1 Zhao and don't really feel like he's got out of first gear.

Finely poised, I'd say. Advantage Zhao, obviously, but he's never been here before. We'll see.

In a Reform sort of way, I'm kind of hoping Willians wins, because I think there's nothing Hearn would like more than a non-British world champion to justify selling the entire sport off to China/Saudi Arabia.

Fear we're only a couple of years from 'The Snooker World Championship - brought to you by his eminence Prince Salman the journalist butcher'.

You'd be ruing that final session ticket now if you bought one

A match fixer will win, Hearn will say how fantastic it is and push on even harder to move the Championship abroad, and money grabbers like O'Sullivan will back it.

Punjab Villans in the house. And Adrian Chiles by the looks on it.

Right, half two. Just in time for the afternoon session.

Oh, bollocks. Don't tell me I have to do some work?

The Conclave has started today so you can keep an eye on that instead.

Got excited when I thought I saw white smoke, only to realise that Sexual Ealing had sneezed.

Ronnie got two 147s in a match last night. He’s 50 in a few months.

Controversial, maybe, but I think he might be a decent player.
