Has Mei been coached by Nigel Bond, seems to address the table in exactly the same way. Bond was the player I supported growing up, it was his few seasons as a contender for the world championship that got me on his side. Still a pro isn't he?

Don't recall seeing his name in the draw for this championship, also read somewhere that he's moved to Moscow to start a snooker academy, interesting move to make

Oh, hope he hasn't left us for good, that would be a shame. Do you remember that time when the BBC dressed him up like James Bond and surounded him with dolly-birds for a pre-match thingy? He looked SO uncumfortable, not surprising really, I can't think of two less similar characters. He was then and still is a good sport though, fair dues.

I've just looked into it, and apparently due to rediscovering his hunger for the game, the coaching role move is on hold. I think I can vaguely remember something along those lines. In those days I was keeping up with the tournaments via ceefax Things have moved on a bit since then

Fu is useless

[VillaGuy]

That plant was a mile away, looks like Marco is having one of those confidence crises

[PatBlock]

Fu is useless

White in-off the red into the yellow pocket. You may have a point there.

We all know how good he can play, his mentality is fragile though
