An important few days for the overseas boys, particularly with Ding, Robbo and Brecel potentially getting knocked out

Williams has never beaten Gould in a full ranking event. Hopefully that won't change tomorrow. Come on Gouldy!

Yeah, I've heard that.

Fun fact: I've never drunk a cup of coffee.

I drink tea every day.

Milk and sugar essential.

5 cups per day minimum

I probably have around 60 different types of tea in my cupboard at the moment if you count all the different flavours. Flavoured black, green and white teas, some unflavoured as well. A few mint infusions, even some rooibos.

Definitely don't use sugar. Milk very rarely with strong black tea.

Usually 1-3 cups per day, but can go up to 5 or even more.

I have the whole next week off my work - like I did in the Judgement Day(s).

Can't wait for the snooker to begin.

There's some lucky buckers around and you're one of them!

My work doesnt allow me to watch it, especially if my boss is around... well I can catch some of it here and there, but it's annoying if I'm not at home.

People talk about MJW’s bad form. Then I just check what Martin Gould did in the season. Apart from the CL win where playing to no audience and these 3 qualifying victories, he hardly won any matches all season long and just got beat by Rod Lawler 0-6 in China Open!

But not the USA? Even if they don't like Trump, wouldn't they want to promote their fine sport in our country? I would like to understand this. We have no channel to view snooker. The fault may well be ours, but I would like to know who has decided that the USA can't view snooker?

This really is on British Eurosport? I thought when the tournaments are with BBC or ITV coverage, British one can't cover it as well...

But good, as I only have that one in the evenings.

Do they slightly delay the start of play on table 2 so the defending champion gets to play the first shot of the championship? Been wondering about that this morning.
