Episode 35 - The Tip Off from The Sportsman returns with a look at the upcoming sporting events, including a cracking weekend of FA Cup semi-finals and the start of the World Snooker Championship. Our podcast hosts, Chris and Sean, run the rule over the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and Sunday, with Tottenham taking on Manchester United and Chelsea meet Southampton.
Tottenham are bidding to end a bit of a hoodoo in crunch games in a fixture that is effectively a 'home' match as they look to add to Jose Mourinho's recent woes, while Chelsea come up against Southampton for the second time in the space of eight days after Olivier Giroud inspired a 3-2 comeback win in the Premier League last weekend. Listen to the podcast to hear what the lads are tipping up...
The Sportsman's Gary Moss joins the pod to preview the World Snooker Championship as the action gets underway at The Crucible in Sheffield on Saturday. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the bookmakers' favourite for a sixth world title, while Mark Selby is a two-time defending champion, although it is Ding Junhui who could prove to be the pick of the prices with bookmakers.
