Doesn't surprise me anymore. I'm more shocked when they don't go in.
This is the most bothered I've been by pockets since 2009. It's kicked all the tension out of the matches for me tbh. When a player is in amongst them, it feels like there's only a 1 per cent chance of anything going wrong.
I played at my local club on a brand new cloth and the Pockets play a lot easier sliding in for fun, so this maybe the reason

I used to love Messi but I'm beginning to hate him now maybe it's because he should be in jail for tax evasion

Cant forget Smart having a go at me (for a long time in fact) because I watch many SNooker matches, many from the 80s, on Youtube...

The only two sports people i've ever cried a happy tear to are Messi and Ronnie.I was reduced to a quivering mess on a few occassions.All i can say is it's been a privilege to have been alive to see them.

Ronnie too when he plays his best
I'd love to see Ronnie doing to Selby what he did to Hendry here in the Crucible. Dont think Ronnie is in that kind of shape though (probably never will be again) but should it come to a semifinal against Selby, I'd want Ronnie to win that desperately.

That was hilarious, and meant in jest. I remember it got to a point where Smart and I were just quoting your comments and replying with the YouTube logo.

GJ you said pre-match it was pretty much 50/50 between the 2, and you couldn'0t have been more correct.... Split the 2 sessions 4-4.

I love neither cr7 nor messi. But I think messi is far from being a model and an example.
Really not fan of the character who is besides for my part insignificant and cruelly lack of charisma although I recognize that it is an extraordinary player with a crazy talent.

TBH I think Marco looked the better player tonight so I'm a little concerned for tomorrow night.
They will have the arena to themselves which brings a different dimention to it.

13:12 either way very much possible. Still think both need to improve a tad though to really have a good chance of beating Selby in the quarters.

Dott is the luckiest man ever to win the world, only for Ronnie had a complete meltdown at 8-8 in their semi, he would never have won it

How did the 2nd session with Fu and Jono go? I see it's 8-8 but did anyone let a lead of a few frames slip
