    It's a struggle to watch snooker at times as there is no fresh players regularly making the latter stages of tournaments, It's largely the same guys who are there tourney after tourney and has been for years. There's a limit to the number of Selby snoozefests you can sit through. Thought Brecel might be the guy to finally upset the regulars, but he's not been past the 3rd round anywhere since winning the world championship. 

    The youngster in yesterdays final made his pro debut in 1996.

    Don’t really agree with this at all. Napoli had looked half decent prior to this round of fixtures but neither of the Milan clubs have looked anything special IMO. As soon as they play a non-farmer team like City or Madrid they’ll get pumped out. Inter & AC Milan were slapped about in the group stages by Bayern & Chelsea respectively and then got relatively easy draws through to the semis. Serie A probably improved a bit but still nowhere near ‘back to its best’ sadly.

    Yeah Italian teams have knocked out Frankfurt, Spurs, Porto and Benfica. Luck of the draw

    I'm surprised the Milan teams even beat those teams given how they're doing in the league https://thefishy.co.uk/formtable.php?table=33

    The enormously respected enforcer Patrick Viera who was at the top of the game when most of these players were kids isn't tough enough, so naturally they will instead take their lectures from a doddery auld Roy Hodgson. 

    Roy is a gangster

    Even if he wins to get a 6th World title you know his speach is going to be about how terrible he is.

    Well he has been pretty terrible for a lot of the tournament. He was spot on about the youngsters, the fact that he can show up at 44 playing like this and still win says it all.

    Wilson is considered one of the best (at 28!) and he's playing like an amateur here

  5. I can't think of any football commentators I'd put alongside ones from other sports like Murray Walker or Peterr Alliss. Maybe it's because football doesn't really need a great commentator while F1 and Golf are boring without one

     

    Best pairing was probably Tyldesley and Big Ron on the Champions League.

    Paul Hogan is averaging 98.6 in fairness to him. Would beat a fair few players in the PDC playing like that regularly.

    He was averageing 102 until the last leg against Smith-Neale, and well over 100 for the most of the match against Kleermaker

    A near 100 average would have you in contention for the World title in any era of the BDO.

    I've watched the BDO for over 30 years and don't think the standard has ever been as poor as it is this year in both the men's and women's tourneys. There has been the odd match where one or both players has played well in parts but I haven't seen anybody play consistently well through a whole match yet.

    Ryan Hogarth got scudded 4-0 this afternoon by Jim Williams, with Williams averaging 94.36.

    Average in the last 16 this year was 91.56 with 11 players being 90+ , last year it was 88.90 with 8 players being 90+

    Zaha; 3 goals and 2 assists in the league this season. A tad overrated?

    He was poor today. The lad Ward at the back was excellent

    That must be the worst lineup Spurs have put out for a while, but it's not like they their first team has shown they can win a cup either

    Higuain could easily be a Shevchenko esque flop, but there's no doubting he's one of the best in the world at what he does. I think it's a cracking signing on paper but equally, I can see him being a dud at Chelsea.

    No he couldn't, he's signed on loan while Shevchenko was the most expensive signing by a British club. Nobody is expected as much of him either, he's 31, he's fat and out of form

    I see of the Lakeside quarter finalists that two  of the Q-School entrants gained cards - Durrant and Whitehead while three, Waites, McKinstry and Williams failed to win a card.

    Doesn't say much for the talent pool in the BDO.

    McGeeney and Baker winning cards by the second day when they couldn't get to the quarter finals of Lakeside does though.
