One of the biggest weeks of the season is on the way, the Tour Championship in Manchester. A week of repeat match-ups, but one that will see a reintroduction to long form snooker.

If you'd like to read my column on the tournament at Sporting Life, it is on the website now. And your feedback is always appreciated - tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

Please don't touch that dial - I'll return with more commentaries and interviews on Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe soon.
