Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe

Hello everyone, I'm back on the air ahead of what promises to be a smashing week of action at the Players Championship in Telford. As my 20 for 20 format returns, I take you through the schedule and look forward to the television coverage to come.

Keep your thoughts coming on any snooker matter please - tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected] - and I'll bring you an extended Points of View soon.

It's high time I shared your views on whether Ronnie O'Sullivan will win an eighth world title.

Live from the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, here I am with the latest edition of Points of View.

Keep your thoughts coming on any snooker matter. I'll be joined by Daniel Clarke - aka TheGreenBaize - after the Games for an extended Points of View broadcast.

A broadcast I wish I didn't have to record. I know so many of you will be greatly saddened by the death of John Virgo at the age of 79. He was such a treasured part of our snooker lives for generations.

I hope I've managed to do the tiniest bit of justice here to man who had a snooker CV like no other. Brilliant player, wonderful commentator, born entertainer. Totally irreplaceable.

Rest in peace, John. Thank you for the memories.

How many broadcasts is too many? Well, I'm sure you'll tell me. 

Judd Trump is the German Masters champion for the fourth time and I'm back to reflect on his victory over Shaun Murphy in the final in Berlin.

I'll give you ears a wee rest very soon, but before that I do intend to return in the next couple of days with your thoughts on whether Ronnie O'Sullivan will win an eighth world title.

Thanks for listening to this service - it means a lot.

What a marvellous German Masters final we have to look forward to. Shaun Murphy against Judd Trump. Yes please. I look ahead to the big match here, and look back on semi-final Saturday at the Tempodrom.

How I managed to get a 20 for 20 out of this is anyone's guess. Material has rarely been as threadbare. Enjoy the final everyone.
