    Saw a bloke on the tube at 7.30am peel the cover off a Sainsbury's trifle. People were watching, interested to see how he'd approach it. He got a large Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut bar out of his pocket, unwrapped it, then used it as a spoon to eat the trifle. Sensational viewing

    Ronnie O'Sullivan with his patented fart-and-pot at the end of that win over Ali Carter. Truly a unique sportsman. 🚀💨

    O'Sullivan on Carter on Discovery+: 'I think he's got more of a problem with me than I have with him. He's got something against me. 'Maybe it's because I've got a massive trophy cabinet full of trophies.'

    Absurd from Ronnie O'Sullivan tonight. As good as it gets in a rapid 6-1 demolition of Ding Junhui. 'This is right up there with his best ever performances,' says Stephen Hendry. Can't lose when he plays like that. Judd Trump is next in line for the Rocket in the final.

    Ronnie: "I'm at that stage now where I'm just hanging around so people don't get as good careers. "If I can beat Selby here, Judd there, that's a UK you ain't got, a Masters you ain't got. "I'm just here to spoil their parties, ruin their CVs."

    This was such a good bit of Scottish noise from the Wizard.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan: 'As long as I'm still feeling young at the table I don't think age is really an issue. Experience is helping me. 'I've won a lot of tournaments, learned a lot about the game. 'I think I'm probably a better all round player than I've ever been.'
