Pleasure to speak to a combative and confident Stan Moody.
- Why he's not backing down on his style of play
- 'Disgusting' celebration from Kyren Wilson๐
- The young players changing the game while others are too negative
Loads here from The Action ๐

Zhao the most unplayable
Top players are still going strong in their 40s and 50s these days, but there is plenty of young talent on the tour as well.
I've had a look at the 30 best snooker players under 30.
Eight nationalities represented. One a lot more than the rest.

Good thing for Ronnie this season is he can play his exhibition level in matches, which helps all those 147s and 153 kind of stuff.
Bad thing, it collapses in a tough match under pressure
Ronnie only says that because he (and everyone around) will always consider him favorite against anyone in any form and keep talking about 8th putting all the pressure on him
'He's probably favourite. The pressure is off me and probably more on John.'
Seemed like some pretty crude mind games from the Rocket, but he was also in good form in the press conference, talking about young talents and dealing with inevitable decline๐

Barry and Matthew are both attacking players, both wanted to get the rhythm. Maybe wouldn't go for it if that was 8:8 and both were warmed up already and under pressure
This is not something Iโll be losing sleep over - we canโt afford to lose any more during this event - but what are your feelings on a re-rack here?
I get that the players agreed to it. But snooker is supposed to be an intricate game of chess at times not just a potting contest.
Come on @WeAreWST... This is THE FUCKING #WORLDCHAMPIONSHIP!! It's for the best players. It can't be easy, the game should be difficult.
And they've made those bloody buckets.๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Of course we'll still try to enjoy the event, but it's not right at all. Really disappointing.๐ฎโ๐จ
Now The Crucible's long term future as World Championship host has been secured, I don't think the Snooker Gods won't be as benevolent as to lift the Curse.
Had next year been definitively the final Crucible edition, then there would definitely been a new winner this year...
This Mark Williams break in 2024 was SPECIAL.
After coming so close to Round 1 defeat, he went on to defeat Ronnie O'Sullivan in a brilliant Manchester final.
