[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

Denis got so fucking lucky in 85 the ping-pong ball headed cunt

[carcinogen]

How many times a day do you reckon Dennis Taylor mentions 1985? 27 is my guess.

I'm going route one and saying 147.

Parrots new wart is getting right up my nose.

If you mute the sound and watch Parrot and Davis wittering away, then overlay some foreign subtitles, it would be an infomercial for Swiss Suicide Clinics. Davis & Parrot: Your Suicide is our Concern.

Get Margin Call on FFS BBC.

What a great player Selby is.

Davis in the 80's. Hendry in the 90's.

O'Sullivan and Higgins have had their moments during the interim.

But Selby is now dominated force for sure.

Wouldn't mind shagging Selby's mum.

The BBC fucked up on a black ball foul call. Fancy not having a third angle camera in this day and age. Would never have happened on Sky.
On Hendry record of 7. I have more faith on Selby winning 4 more titles than Ronnie winning another 2.

I though the final was superb with Selby's comeback. Cannot stand that dour jock Higgins so when Selby started putting his foot down it became gripping.

I'd also like to see someone beat Hendry's record as he's another dour cunt. Come to think of it all the Scottish players are dour cunts.

Hopefully next year Ronnie will have grown up and stop acting the cunt as well. He might be the biggest draw in the game but he's also the biggest child.

I hate Hendry for what he did to poor Saint Jimmy , the cherub of the Eighties, every mother wanted for their daughter (apart from the casual use of crack-cocaine and having Alex Higgins as best man at the wedding of course)

[Maude]

It's that time to knock balls together again. I'm rooting for Ronnie again to win his sixth title and tie with Steve Davis and Ray Reardon.
Four Chinese in the draw, and will Ding be a threat this year ? Judd Trump (no relation to Donald) is up against Rory.
