I’m sure this was a running joke on “They Think It’s All Over”, especially this picture.
Is Willie Thorne still commentating for the BBC? Didn’t think I heard him this year.
There was a good chat on the Monday night club last night between Andy, Wrighty and Charlie Adam. Andy used to spend a lot of time in snooker halls from the age of 15. He told a yarn about how he bought a snooker table for his house when he joined the Villa from Tony Meo’s old manager before he joined Barry Hearn. The geezer installed it and told Andy that he had a lovely table at home, the table that Cliff Thorburn won the World title on in 1980. A special authentication plaque on it and all. The geezer offered it to Andy who paid for it in cash. He hasn’t seen the table yet.

What channel is the snooker on?
Eurosport
Not on squarehead Eurosport surprisingly. I’ll have to fire up the iptv.
Today appears to be a rest day. It’s back on tomorrow.
