Sport



I went to watch Sheffield Wednesday's last game of the season yesterday against Norwich City. We had to win to be sure of avoiding relegation, and we did, 4-1! That meant we actually ended up finishing 16th in the table, 6 places above the relegation zone. It was quite an exciting match, but the main thing was that we stayed up, although I hope we're finishing towards the other end of the table next season.

It's also the final of the World Snooker Championship tonight. I always enjoy watching this tournament, especially as it's held in Sheffield. I'd like to actually go to the Crucible one day and watch a match, but watching it on TV is good too. I don't fully understand the game, but the commentators always explain everything and make it interesting. Also, I like the fact that, compared to other sports, snooker doesn't tend to be overhyped or anything - it's just nice and relaxed.

I'd like to see Ronnie O'Sullivan win again, and I reckon he will as he's already winning by quite a way.

Cool post, Joe.

It was great to see the Super Owls avoid relegation. We were only a few points behind United, but we ought to be ahead of them next year, back like how it used to be when I was a lad! lol

I went to see Wednesday vs QPR on the last day of the season a few years ago, and the outcome of the day meant that we avoided relegation and QPR clenched automatic promotion, so the whole stadium was overjoyed, it was a great atmosphere.

I love watching the snooker! Especially the final. Particularly because the tournament's held in Sheffield, and I generally think the game of snooker is brilliant. I love the scoring system with the colours and everything. It's a great game, and each player in a match can dominate a number of games themself, and other games will be closer between them, so it's not one-sided, it's always fairly distributed, even if one player is much better than the other, they both get the opportunity to have a go at staying on the table as long as possible.

I was gutted when I found out I'd missed the final, I had no idea the tournament was over, I guess I just had too much on.

Keep up the happy blogging,

Ben
