This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!
Humphries is in his 6th straight TV ranking final. The last person to do that: MvG in 2016/17. The only other person to do it: Taylor.
He averaged 100+ in a best of 9 sets match, double in. The last person to do that: MvG in 2016. The only other person to do it: Taylor.
Jimmy White: "Alex Higgins was so out of position. This was my hero. He was steaming because I knew he was drinking these large vodka and oranges, but he could play drunk."

Manchester United aren't utilising Rasmus Hojlund's shooting prowess
Rasmus Hojlund has taken 0 or 1 shots in 10 out of 20 league starts this season. He has taken 1.6 shots per 90 on an average.
When he was in the Serie A he was taking 2.6 shots per 90 and his conversion rate was in the top tier range (1 goal in every 6 shots) along with Victor Osimhen. I had cited this as one of his big strengths in the article I wrote about him.
And what's his conversion rate this year? 7 goals in 31 shots which is less than 1 goal in every 5 shots. It's even better than his Serie A season.
He's generated a xGOT of 8.1 from an xG of 6.7 which implies that he has added that much shooting value through his shot technique and placement. He's feeding on scraps in terms of chances but making more of them. A 21% overperformance on the xG created for him.
His shot on target % of 52% puts him in the 93rd percentile in the Premier League. All his other quality metrics like npxG/shot also read well.
What all of this says is that Hojlund is shooting well with what he has been given. The issue is that he hasn't been given much at all. The %s & quality metrics are fine. The volume is the problem. The poor final 3rd dynamics and chance creation patterns of the current tactic are simply not getting arguably its best finisher in positions to take more shots.
I had previously spoken about how we're not utilsing Hojlund's other big trait (movement) and this post is about his second best trait of shooting being underutilized. Putting both together, it simply boils down to another player who's strengths haven't been utilized in any logical way all season.
Game model issue. Not player issue.
When Ronnie O'Sullivan asked about the prize for a 147 break after potting two balls. This is pure Rocket gold and the commentary from John Virgo and Dennis Taylor make it all the more special. Great ending too 🤣
Arbroath, forced to bring on keeper Ally Adams and play him up front at Raith, come back from 2-0 down to draw. With Adams scoring this screamer on the way
