Re: 2011 Fantasy World Snooker - Now Underway
Probably not but he got exposed and I think in most peoples opinion was abit lucky to just get 6 months!
It certainly would be a great filip for the game if Trump won!

In SF1, Knulpuk flukes several balls at key moments to beat me in a high scoring match ( )

Final :-
Knulpuk v
2 Left Feet
Knul"pot" as he has become known has both players in the final - quite a feat . 2 Left Feet has none but will no doubt be content with runners up spot and a place in the top 16 next year.

Seriously, well played Blah. I won the league last year but finished up 2nd overall which was a bit annoying so you've gone one better
The final could go to the wire. Loving the way Trump plays . At last someone to rival Ronnie in terms of a big draw. We need more like him.

Re: 2011 Fantasy World Snooker - Now Underway
These stupid questions are a pain, too. The word "interesting" has never been so poorly used.
On the subject of Interesting, he is far more insightful than the others, and his line about Trump redefining acceptable shots was erm interesting.

Virgo won it around 1980 I think - complete with dodgy perm.
The answers to two of the questions are Canadian. The postman is from Cannock - rags to riches and back to rags again.
