OH GOD I LOVE THE SNOOKER I LOVE THE SNOOKER I LOVE THE SNOOKER. It's a shame I have only remembered to love it when it finished really, now I think about it. BUT I DO LOVE IT AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. John Higgins said that he fought fire with fire against Cope, Selby and Allen. When what he means is he just outclassed them. WITH CLASS. I LOVE HIM.
It would be brilliant if the bbc just repeated the whole tournament on the red button immediately after it finished. So that you could watch the tables you missed, and the matches you were hiding from out of fear.
It was kind of sad that he didn't mention Holt, but probably it would have been slightly more patronising to pretend that he was like those three other people maybe?
I decided since he had three world championships I ought to have ONE icon of him with the proper trophy, and then I made this one as well and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH and IT IS STILL TRUE. OH IT IS GOING TO BE TRUE FOR AGES!
Did you hear the interview with Holt after his match where he was just depressed and said that it was just EMBARRASSING and it had been ten years of NOTHING and that he knew he was better than that but he just couldn't get anywhere? It was so sad. And he's actually done really well this year and is sort of 19th or something on the one year rankings, and he's gone up like TEN places, and OH GOD I HOPE HE DOES WELL NEXT SEASON and is drawn against someone awful and not someone brilliant.

Aww, John, doesn't Michael get to play at being a fireman too?
