Nearly 3 weeks later, they still didn't send it.So I had to buy another copy from a real store and that copy is already being packed in Buyee's warehouse. Hopefully I'll be listening to it next week.And that other store...

>>157154029Lisowski may actually be mentally disabled
>>157154029>Brecel: I would actually say Judd, number two. People struggle to put guys like Judd number two because he’s still very young, but it’s obvious that he’s much better than Steve Davis or Hendry or people like that, it’s obvious.still can't win more than one world championship in his peak years btw.
>Trump (orange) tries to win his highly unlikely third title before Trump (boy) gets his secondWill the Boy go all the way in 27 and/or 28?And has he even be at home in Dubai ever since the three day SMO began?
>>157154177dubs confrim it's over
Mark Selby, one.
It's funny how media with different kind of interests and intentions hype up the Chinese taking over Snooker.It took 20 years to see 2 Chinese World Champs, and thanks to Chatgpt, you can immediately get stats you want.Tournament winners:>UK winners: about 72%>Chinese winners: about 14%>Rest of the world: about 14%Pathetic
>>157154835To say the Chinese are "taking over" is an exaggeration but they are gaining momentum as time passes and compared to say a decade ago. I doubt we'll be waiting another 10-20 years for another champion.
>>157154942pic is from three months ago, but still
>>157154835>>157155169Only Xintong, Wu and Chang have the potential to be 10+ title winners imo the rest are at best top 16 fodder for when the older boys retire
>>157154942Momentum comes and goes.There was a time when people were waiting for Ding to become World Champion, and then there were quite a lot of other top 16 CN players (that are now banned due to betting related manipulation).And checking the rankins, there is only 2 top 10 player. And it will stay the same desu in the foreseeable future.
Back to back centuries from Lelby. Nice. Good comeback as well given he looked really rough in the first few frames.
>>157154942>>157155286It depends on how fast the Chinese players can replace the British ones at least, and they'll just end up outnumbering them at some point. Snooker is still popular here but I doubt we can keep supplying top quality players for decades to come.
C I D E R
>>157155169Hope someone informed the person who made that list that they forgot Jegg
>>157155453Jegg hasn't been under 30 for a long time
>Zhou Yuelongpot
Alright lads where's the poverty stream for the Shanghai Masters then
>>157155301Yeah, the "problem" is we're not producing enough not necessarily China producing too many. Arguably, China producing a lot of players going forward means there will still be some quality snooker to watch in the decades to come or we'd be stuck waiting for Pullen etc. to get good..>>157155708www.liveleagues.me/snooker-sports-stream

>wake up>Selby dead>>157155708>https://snooker-live.ru/Still works. Today they even had two tables.
Year of Ding (surreal)
>>157158898Yes, that was pure destruction. I had the pleasure of watching a part of that match.
>>157154200>And has he even be at home in Dubai ever since the three day SMO began?I think it's been such a long time since there was a legit /147/ that I haven't blogposted about my new job to you yet. It's quite possibly the worst job I have ever had in my life. I thought it was just going to be an IT job that possibly doesn't pay me enough to live on, but it's not even that. I do customer service for smart meters now. And all my colleagues are recent immigrants. I don't want to go all /pol/ because they're lovely people and there's nothing wrong with one or two Nigerians with impenetrable accents and woman in hijabs, but it's like working in a taxi office.Anyway, one of my best work friends from my new job moved here from Dubai. She said she moved because she's Sudanese and was fleeing the war in Sudan, which would make her an actual refugee, but she somehow managed to come here even though she didn't live in Sudan and lived in Dubai instead. So people are definitely leaving Dubai. That was my point.

But I found pic related funny.Instead I'll ask: what nickname should Barry Hawkins have then? I think The Bark would fit nicely. Bar - like Barry, and "bark" like what a dog does, because Barry looks like an ugly-cute little dog, a pug or something similar.

Certainly nobody is allowed to see her boyfriend, and there was even speculation that she was a lesbian just because that would make more money from the simps. Her marriage might mean she doesn’t get to referee as many top matches now. Let’s see if she disappears as a punishment for making herself less marketable.

Hello /147/ frens, been away and snooker-free for a couple of months. Some comfy Selby v Koiren is a nice way to get back into things. Has anything notable or memeworthy happened since Judd accidentally showed everyone his nawty cue action?

I didn't notice we were close to 500 posts. Now we're already autosaging.>>157362415Because it's Selby, they probably expected it to last much longer, so now they're doing a rerun.
