In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Ashwin @AR87 are here to discuss two "on-paper" not great results for United over the last week, but are there positive signs of progress despite what the ex-United pundits are saying?
They also preview the big game Europa League game against Lyon.
Both missing some easy pots too
Congratulations John Higgins remarkable Tour Championship win.
Michal Szubarcyzk has lost in his bid to become the youngest ever qualifier (14 years old) for the World Championship.
Only went down 10-8 though, put up a good fight.
Ironically his opponent Dean Young will now face Stan Moody who is only 18 himself but isn't having a very good season, certainly not as good as the Pole although he's been playing at amateur level.
Jimmy White fought back to win 10-9 at 1.20am despite losing a frame to the three misses rule, which I suspect he's never done before!
Some of the names waiting in qualifying round 3 are insane, it just gets stronger every year... Gary Wilson, Walden, Milkins, Ford, Day, Bingham, Gilbert, Lisowski, Vafaei, Lyu, Carter and Maguire to name a few. Joe Perry and Graeme Dott come in a round before that!
The final round of qualifiers take place next Tuesday and Wednesday, with the draw for the first round proper taking place on Thursday 17th.

Edit: I'm now guessing Graeme Dott won't be competing

Insane effort
There’s been quite a few recently. I reckon after last years Worlds where the pockets were tighter than a camel’s arse in a sandstorm and the quality of snooker suffered, WPBSA have had them opened up a bit. Total guess of course
