Coverage was poor this week. Yes the comms are mostly great, but no interviews, and no hot shots.
Yeah, it's funny how they've really cut down on studio time. Shame about no Hot Shots, I always enjoy having that song stuck in my head after every ITV tournament.

And Robertson on a purple patch just like last season. the Welsh Open next week might be a bit too much for him though as he may need a rest.
He's won 2 rankers in his entire career. That's all that faith has written for him. As he himself admitted in the post match interview, that's one every 14 years.
He got very lucky in winning 1 WC. He's up there with Joe Johnson as far as I'm concerned.

"Lucky"? He did beat both Neil Robertson and Ronnie O'Sullivan on his way to the title.
I am not sure you can ever win the WSC by "luck". Yes you can have a purple patch at exactly the right point (like Johnson) but that's not the same thing.
I think Dott would be the first to admit he is not as naturally gifted as say O'Sullivan, Robertson or Trump but he makes up for that with graft. I have the upmost respect for players like that.

Dammit!
I switched the TV off and went to bed at 9 - 5 with Robbo in amongst the balls, looking certain to claim victory
Tough luck for Dott...

Dott has made more world finals than players like Neil Robertson as well. If one time can be lucky, not sure about three times

Graeme has been unlucky in these finals. Lost to all time greats and not journeymen

He lost to Ronnie in a Crucible final. Who, according to you, is the worst player to ever pick up a cue and has never potted a ball without it being a fluke.
