The Bear

Gu on Wu my son.

I'd love to see West Ham beat Arsenal next week to ruin both their and Spurs chances in one fell swoop.

Getting the increasing feeling Murphy is going to win on a decider here.

Joe Perry seems to be on comms all the time lately. He's ok but very, very bland. I'd much rather have a combo of the older ex players: Hendry Davis Parrot Doherty Taylor I thought Kyren Wilson did really well too when they gave him the chance recently.

The occasional amusing comment is fine. It very rarely disrupts anything or puts the players off. I think they are pretty good for not talking when the player is about to play their shot. Especially the important pressure ones.

I might give that a go.

I do really like Gems as I call her. Always have. She's definitely aged well as you say.

S1 of BB was pretty slow. I remember I contemplated leaving it alone after S1 any way.

You are my 72 year old mother and I claim my £5.

Wu starting well. 2-0 up.

It's wet and there's a storm right now but the next thunderstorm isn't due until about an hour into the race. We might get a wet start then a chaotic race once it starts coming down heavy again. Maybe even a red flag.

Gonna be hard to get over that for Mark Allen. He'll be in absolute bits once he gets back to the dressing room.

Can Wu hold himself together here?

Allen had his celebration in his mind when he was down on that black. Guaranteed. Just took it for granted.

Damn can't believe I missed it! I bet Mark Selby was watching it on his sofa with his pud in his hand.

I'm incredibly intelligent. I'd trade some of it in for being a bit more of a looker.

Would love to see either of Wu or Higgins win it. So that's the final I'll be hoping for.

As per Rick Shiels test on his HIIT golf channel, the numbers on the bottom of the clubs look shite though. Clubs look alright but at that price I won't be going anywhere near them.

#firstworldproblems IMO the sweet chilli one is better than all the rest.

Murphy has already declined any BBC comms this year as he wants to focus on the tournament.

Well overdue this one.

Murphy beats Zintong 13-10. Crucible Curse continues for another year

Such a f**king moron.
