Very true, Steve Peters has done a good job.
He is also partly responsible for Liverpool's success this season
In terms of outrageous talents, Ronnie is up there with Gilles, Senna, Fed, Holding and King Carlos as the best I have seen in my lifetime. Hmm, add Phelps and Pinsent to that list.
As to what Fed is like off the court...a thoroughly nice chap. Ive spent time with him at his new "plot" just outside Zurich.

Ronnie is amazing. I've never spent time with him, anywhere.
In fact I was only saying as much to old Bobby De Niro the other day in, err, Sweden.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the pockets are a lot more generous now and take in balls which in years gone by just would not have been potted? At times they are like buckets.
The commentators do go on a lot about the table cloth being ultra 'fine' so perhaps that's the reason.

I wonder why there are so many empty seats in what you would assume are big matches - i.e Murphy and Fu.
A friend went to the Cucible and posted photos - it looks tiny - which obviously means there are even that many seats to be sold.
Does it need to be amde cheaper/moved to a bigger city?
I would prefer it to stay at the Crucible like most fans - but a bit embarassing that it is not packed out.

The humour is in the "plot" quote, due to it being just a patch of land. His gaff didnt actually exist yet. The second bit of humour being cos he has bought somewhere relatively unglam and his neighbour is my decidedly unglam fat brummie IT geek mate. Ronnie is amazing. I've never spent time with him, anywhere.

The sport is fine, with or without Ronnie, if they could just stop faffing about trying to jazz it up. Neil Robertson versus Judd Trump looks pretty enticing in the quarters, assuming Judd gets through.
Sadly the sport is dead, dead boring unless you're actually properly into it.It could really do with a 20Twenty type alternative version.
