What a greedy t*** to screw up his whole career for a bung. You've got to wonder about his loss to Davis now.

Every frame seems like it's gone on forever. They are both nervous as hell and playing in a way not to lose, rather than go out for the win. Still worth watching though.

As for Higgins, his explanation is not a good one. They were frightened it was the Russian mafia, so went along with it because they were scared for their lives :shifty:

I hadn't realised that the meeting was at Stamford Bridge.

lol

He even said he wanted to get out of Russia, yet he was in Kiev. More evidence next Sunday, apparently.

I had a feeling that Robertson would win it before he played the Nugget. Wish I'd put some money on him now. :roll:

His mum's pretty hot - Willie Thorne kept perving on her during the final. :lol:

Why the f*ck did they let that t*** Colin Murray present the Davis-Taylor programme? His voice makes me want to kill kittens. He's presenting MOTD2 next season too so I won't be watching that. :roll:

Ooh, just seen this, Undertaker.

That's my entertainment sorted for next weekend (even though it sounds a bit shit). Let's hope they can persuade Michaela to wear something suitable too. :wink:

Yeah i was going to go but it's a bit far for one or two days Snooker. The rules are barmy but it should be good fun. I love to see Jimmy play and was lucky to see him knock in a 147 and 146 earlier in the year versus the late Alex Higgins.

It's a good line up as well. No boring players but i don't think Snooker players are the brightest :mrgreen: and i bet there is a lot of confusion. The players all have mic's on and the refs are all ladies :mrgreen:

Well I've watched five minutes and it looks godawful already. Michaela's not showing her cleavage, Ronnie tried to explain the rules but it was a bit like Wayne Rooney discussing the Theory of Relativity, and it's presented by ITV Sport goons like Matt Smith. :?

Maybe the snooker will be good though.....

The announcer at the very beginning couldn't even pronounce Snooker. It took him three tries.

The game is a lot better than the set up. I think it will be very popular in the Snooker Clubs. At least Carter and Selby got with the spirit a bit more.

I missed the second game because I nipped down to the bookie's. Yeah, it's alright. The lead changes hands pretty easily too. I just hope Michaela slips into something more comfortable for the semi-finals.

I hope you have put your money on Spurs getting stitched up later on. It's a banker. Especially as i've just seen that Mark Clattenberg is in charge.

I actually think you can beat them but I've heard that Bale might be rested today for Tuesday's game. How come you've got to play United away three days before Inter? :think:

*edit* Ooh Holly is lovely. :drool: To be fair though, I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed.

*double edit* Bale is playing. Seriously Undertaker I think you can do them today, notwithstanding pentalties and/or goals not being given despite hitting the back of the net.
