You have spelled my name correctly, it's André actually. But I'm fine with just Andre, like Andre Agassi in Tennis.

Yeah, it's bullocks. It was a great match tonight, but I don't get the fawning over Higgins and O'Sullivan matches. They should both be relics by now. Especially Higgins.

Confused. It is André, or Andre?

It's André, and you spelled it correctly.

I agree but today is not the best example of that.

He’s hinted quite transparently that he’s going to drop it and bugger off soon.

Hope he does it, but of course that amazing streak will have to end someday. Defending the world title like in 2013 would be wonderful, especially since he'll be 45. I think he can do it.

That farm he was apparently working at in the run up to the 2013 Worlds... I’m pretty sure it was a snooker room that happened to have a farm close by.

He should go to that farm again a few weeks before the worlds this season.

Yes. He needs to learn a bit from Robbo in this department. Robbo changes the side of the pack he hits depending on whether his opponent is left or right handed, that is a great idea.
Ronnie keeps playing on the right side of the pack (the way he's looking at it), thus he leaves a red to the left side, which is easier to pot for a right handed player. To make an analogy to tennis, it's like playing a forehand shot, it's far easier than a backhand.

I noticed Robbo changed sides but didn't realise why - good spot there Johnny

He mentioned that in an interview, it's a really smart thing to do, mix it up a bit.

I never change sides myself, I always break off from the green side. Breaking off from the yellow side seems very strange to me, even in a videogame lol.
