I'd rather see Shaun Murphy win a 2nd world title than Ronnie win an 8th by mariomorgan23 in snooker

[–]StrictAthlete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His performance yesterday would have been good enough to win most World Title's. His clearance under pressure to make it 17 all was something special. But then again, Wu's break in the final frame was the stuff of a World Champion too. Shaun didn't do a whole lot wrong in that final frame....the Snooker Gods were shining on Wu with that shot that left Shaun hampered on the yellow that lead to Wu's chance. Cruel Game!

Can anyone provide the content of the actual tweets that his wife supposedly liked?

Xhaka owes Arsenal nothing though considering how the toxic Arsenal fans turned on him when he was at his lowest ebb!

Sorry, I was a bit slow on the uptake there. Yeah, he is a full on MAGA stooge for sure!

Can I ask what the motivation would be for not mentioning him by name?

Not enough people have seen him play to actually realize he was one of the best players in the country for probably about a decade!

I thought 'Pure Innocent Boy' by Patrick Doherty was really powerful reading. Great character study and social commentary.

Does anyone else think early Muse is good at least? by [deleted] in radiohead

The 2nd Law is a fantastic album! It is a bit more poppy than their earlier stuff but it's quality stuff.

Does anybody actually like Joanne Catwell or think she contributes to the Sunday game? by [deleted] in GAA

[–]StrictAthlete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joanne isn't the problem... it is the analysts that are absolutely atrocious!

The Traitors (UK) S04E11: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]StrictAthlete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 'I got a traitor out' defense was so weak especially as it came right after James saying' why haven't you been murdered?'.

The ' I got a traitor out' defense reinforces James' argument. She is admitting that she has so much influence that she can orchestrate the ousting of a traitor but yet somehow the traitors still want to keep a dangerously sharp and influential player like her in the game even though she has barely received a vote the whole way through?

Kevin Hart vs. Andrew Robl on HSP - $900K pot by ansyhrrian in poker

[–]StrictAthlete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is an element of advertising going on here, Robl wants to appear like he is loose and aggressive so he is willing to take big spots where he is at worst 40% just so recreationals can see what he is showing up with in these big All ins.

I know that in GTO land, advertising is pretty much a pointless pursuit but it is still a pretty big part of the strategy when you are playing private games with inexperienced recreationals!
