google is full of stuff about him. He got defrauded of £200,000, & ended up bankrupt, allegedly?

How on earth did he land the Inter gig?

I've heard he's been brought in as a centre-half à la Dion Dublin, Chris Sutton and to a lesser extent, Gary Doherty.

The link says "centrevanti", which I infer means centre forward, however.

Fu leads 3-2.

I work not far from that very establishment. In a different sector, I hasten to add.

Fu 5-2 winner

Williams definitely completely out of form

Possibly disinterested too

Keep opposing!

Williams 2 - Fu 5

Winner!

Well done bobby, & unlucky Tighty, who came up with the same bet.

Fu 5-2 winner

Williams definitely completely out of form

Possibly disinterested too

Keep opposing!

The fire in his belly seems to have gone, he was disinterested, & missed so many opportunities.

He plays a lot of poker these days, quite reasonably too, but he should still have a few good years in him at snooker if he puts his mind to it.

Meanwhile Bingham is through to the last 16

The draw shakes out as follows

Mark Allen               v       Robert Milkins         
RICKY WALDEN       v       MAGUIRE/CAMPBELL        
MARCO FU               v       DING JUNHUI         
STUART BINGHAM       v       HIGGINS/MCMANUS      
---------------------------------------------------------------------   
judd Trump       v       Nigel Bond         
Matthew Stevens    v       Shaun Murphy         
Neil Robertson       v       Graeme Dott         
Barry Hawkins       v       Mark Selby


The draw. Top 3 favourites in the betting are in the bottom half....Trump, Robertson, Selby

So the value is to find someone in the top half to final


I chose Bingham, as in-form and with Higgins beatable over a shorter format

but it may be another, the point being is that there are reasonable betting prices on the likes of Walden and Fu too  because of the composition of the draw

Bingham, Walden and Fu are all value in a top half without the top three ranked players
