Nalis

He was on course to drop out of the top 64 at this stage but had a couple of decent tournaments earlier this year to keep his head above water. I think he's simply not as arsed as he was pre World Championship win

Really good quality final for break building this, Higgins responds with a century. Selby should have enough to edge with his 2 frame lead but the momentum can change so quickly

Higgins trailing 7-5 now, was winning 5-1

A Chelsea winner would be big for them in the race for the champions league spots Out of the teams 3rd to 7th they have the toughest run in so they need to start winning games like this.

Player most likely to use this season as banteriffic content for podcasts as if they weren't part of the shit Player most likely to play OK only for a 10 minute spell every half a season to cue the screams of 'you see! He IS brilliant it's someone else fault he hasnt been performing'

Hoping our match against Liverpool doesn't confirm their title win or our relegation, they have some strange dislike of us for some reason and think we're all tories.

Yeah I guess you are right. As Bilo said Villa are a genuinely big club for the reasons you've both mentioned. Forest are in that band of about 20 clubs that interchange in purple patches and the biggest of those 20 are usually who is doing the best at a given point.

I've only heard about Charlie Bigham and seen him in cartoon form but he comes across as a very smug punchable bloke

On current form Selby looks unstoppable but snooker form can ebb and flow so quickly. One interesting stat I heard yesterday is no winner of the tour championship has gone on to win the world championship in the same year. Wonder if this is the year it changes?

Feel for Treviso, set for a historic away win to Castres to get into the quarters only for Castres to score a very late converted try.

Don't be so defeatist, keep the faith we've got this.

'Proper club' must be one of the most overused phrases in football. What tf does it even mean? Old style stadium and a lack of success over the past 25 years seem to be a large part of the criteria. Seen it said about Villa and Forest but they've both spent heavily to get to where they are. If Man City were still shite they would be prime proper club material, so why does success make them any different.

I hope I'm wrong and you are right

For those hoping for Forest missing out on top 5 I wouldn't get your hopes up. This is probably the most difficult match in this run and their run in is quite favourable after this match, the type of matches you think could be tricky but they'll been winning all season.

So should not starting Saka when you've bought him in FPL

Ruud needs to stick himself alongside Vardy

Are the sandwiches only brown bread?

The 4 quarters were very one sided, here's hoping for more competitive semi finals and final

Exactly this. Joelinton and Bruno G embrace life in Northumberland so there's no reason our players can't do the same in Leicestershire.

Is his birthday present a contract extension?

I forgot we even signed him up until I saw the thread title

Ireland would be the thorn in the EU side with that considering its effectively been a tax haven for US companies to set up their EU HQ for years.
