snooker world championship

Couldn't stand him in the 80's when he was robotically winning all in front of him , used to love it when Higgy or White would on those rare occasions turn him over . But watching him do the commentary now he comes across very well and doesn't take himself too seriously .

Hendry will start his 22nd Crucible campaign on Tuesday
The 37-year-old has won seven world titles, with the last coming in 1999.

Does that mean Hendry first played aged just 15!!

who does people think will win this copetition? i wouldnt follow the snooker that greatly but i would always watch the world snooker championship. i saw the odds for winning the competition last friday and noticed that mark williams was 33/1 2 win it outright. are those pretty good odds or has williams form dipped alot from a few years ago wen he was always in the top 4 or 5 favourites 2 win it?

what price is that smug wee barsteward Hendry? He's on the better side of the draw and you can never rule him out.

[anportmorforjfc]

hendry is 9/1 along with higgins and murphy. o'sulliven favourite 15/8

[full back]

O Sullivan would be a f**king nightmare to back
He could implode at any given time, bad enough hoping your selection will play well never mind hoping your selection doesnt admit himself to the f**king nut house

8-2 to o'sullivan the comeback is on
