Who will win this years World Championship?

First topic message reminder :

Who's your favourite for this years title ?

One of the seeds ? Or will it be a qualifier ?


We're almost down to the last 4, so let us know who you think will finally clinch it.

Heh heh heh Robbo to win. I really do think Ro will win today.

I used to dislike Robbo but I like him now. Don't know why. I used to ike Trump but dislike him now too.

Wahoo, the snooker forum broke its virginity in having its first thread locked

Thanks as well dreamer

Apparently this sums up Stephen Hendry at his peak:

Christopher Dale needs to commentate more.

ha dim probs.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Stevens. Would love for him to finally win this one!

Making up words again dreamer

So who is the only player to score back to back 147's?

John Higgins

Nope, it was in an exhibition match in 2003 against Steve Davis

picked ronnie this time.

you lot do realise you will jinx your favoirite in robbo by picking him

probably the winner of Robbo-Ronnie.

hmm why not a wild guess - Jimmy White?

Nope, its a very unexpected player

Dennis Taylor?

David Gray?

James Wattana?

Tony Drago?

Nope, nope, nope and nope

He could sing a bit

Russell Watson?


(that was a ridiculous guess I know! I've got such a vague memory of this but aaaah....really can't recall who it was)

Dominic Dale!!!!!!!!

I mean Christopher Dale!!!!!!!

No.

One last hint, ponytale

Ebdon. Surprised nobody got it before.

Ebdon

He can sing a bit and has a ponytale.....

not a clue!

Oh my word......

ha I'm guessing I took the ponytale hint a bit too literally there....

I think "he could sing a bit" is being a wee bit generous to Edbon there, mind you! Have you heard that ballad he recorded, 'The Fall From Paradise' or something? Jesus....

Mind you, his cover of David Cassidy's 'I'm a Clown' was very apt. I've been calling Ebdon the clown for many, many years - although I yield to noone in my admiration for him as a player. I think he's horrifically underrated in some quarters on that front.

Yep, it was in 2003 against Steve Davis

Peter Ebdon

The Fall of Paradise. Tune. Available on iTunes now....

Whatever happened to Robbo's gold waistcoat?

Who has the next one?

Are they out yet?

Yeah.

Ronnie's long game has improved dramatically.

I only have live scoring :-(

Careless by Neil. 2 errors should hand Ronnie the opening frame.

O'Sullivan back to a frame behind at 4-5.

Missing the action but will catch it when i get home

Live scoring says Ronnie is flying

Wow Ronnie has exploded out of the blocks. Still fancy Neil to beat him

On my way home, catch you all in over an hour

Neil what have you done!!!!?

I think the real ROS has turned up and if the real ROS turns up there's only 1 man who can stop him. And it's not Neil Robertson.

Where's my hat? I better get the cutlery out.......

John Higgins? Mark Selby?

It helps when you get the run of the balls when you miss as well. More disrespect from Ronnie hurrying the ref along when he had a difficuly job spotting the pink.

John Higgins. He proved that in the 2006 Masters Final.

Neil can turn this around. Come on Neil!!!

What do you expect from a man with more mood swings than a pregnant elephant.
