I don’t mind him screaming, shouting, he could take all his clothes off

sorry you didn't get your wish

Do we think Jones will kick on from here? I'm not convinced. Everything just fell for him here and he played well to get to the final without being amazing.

I don't see it to be honest, but we will see.

Seeing Wilson lift his kids up on the table got me wondering, do the tables travel round either the tour and just get reclothed or what ?

Shame it's all over

Don't know, they are constantly dismantled and reassembled, likely with new parts. I doubt that exact table will be seen again on the tour.

I think Stuart Bingham actually has his WC title table at his house to practice on.

The tables get used for a few tournaments and then eventually sold etc....quite a few end up in clubs.

Although in honestly, like all great things, it did kind of seem the time?

Only another 11.5 months

Seems like a couple of days ago I was watching Si's live qualifying scores on worldsnooker.com or whatever

========================================

I would like to see him do an epsiode with Jimmy White and another one with John Parrott

I liked this one with Virgo, maybe he can do a similar one with Reardon.

Don't see it either TBH. Good luck to the guy, he's had a fantastic tournament, but I didn't think he was that good overall really. Stars aligned for him, as they did for Kyren who had the easiest route to a world title in the history of the Crucible, if we're all being honest. The commentators kept making a big thing about Jak's amazing temperament, and his matchplay snooker brain ... can't say I saw much evidence of either TBH. He regularly played some really dumb shots, and missing the pockets by 6 inches or more at times doesn't scream great temperament, or technique, to me.

Must be the easiest run of opponents ever to win a world championship, bar Higgins.

Well done though, still got to pot the balls
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Higgins was the only Top 16 player....
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep. Good luck to Kyren Wilson, who won all 5 of his matches pretty comfortably and played pretty well for the most part, but let's not pretend he didn't have an insanely easy route the title ... bar Higgins, who's 10 years past his prime anyway. He's already talking about being disappointed if he doesn't win it multiple times ... hmm, he might, but he'll never get close to a draw like that again. Southgate-esque, albeit at least Kyren actually took advantage of his massive good fortune and won the thing.

Multiple times, Next year will be SIX years since Judd won it, 15 since Robbo, & they are twice the player he'll ever be... Needs to know his place...

The James Maddison one was good. I used to think he was nothing more than a cocky git but he was funny and came across as a decent bloke.
