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.

What a pot Matthew Stevens

Wow. Fabulous pot.

Looking good Stevens, cracking pot.

commentators. WHAT A POT though.

Use the bloomin rest Matchu!!!!

Use the rest Matthew

stevens learn how to use a rest you donught

hmmm he's let Ronnie back into this.....

Class pot on the yellow from Ronnie to get position on the green

threw that frame away

Shame. Does Matchu hate the rest?

Ken on the late shift again tonight

First frame to Ronnie. Intriguing frame. In hindsight Matthew perhaps should have played safe on the yellow.

bloody idiot

baaaaah.

"Are you telling jokes again?"

all this distance stuff is getting on my nerves. It doesn't work in snooker, its obvious if its a good long pot or not, the fact its 9 feet doesn't make a difference.

i dunno- i like a stat me.

mathew is playing some seriously attacking stuff, fair play to him

i dont even know if he fouled

Matthew Stevens proper sportsmanship.

Needs to stop calling fouls on himself though otherwise he won't win

I'm joking Matthew, well done. Doing the game proud tonight.

I like stats as well, just for me, this new distance thing for me doesn't work imo. I like when they draw that white line to show where they want the cue ball to go, when in a snooker and when taking on a pot.

I really like honesty in players. Great stuff Matthew.

Ominous now. This looks like Ronnie's frame to lose.

Wish he would stop fouling mind, he's handing all the advantage back to Ronnie!

i personally would like to know players pot success at different distances- i would like that stat. So if it was used in that way then i am up for it!

What's the definiton of a long pot? Anything over 10ft?

tough win from here for the rons- 3 dodgy reds

Ronnie only calls fouls on himself when its of no advantage to the other player... remember the one against Higgins?

Now I like that idea, that's something that's interesting and will tell you allot about a players game. I imagine a couple of years back Ronnies long pot success was quite low, this year, i'm sure it would have increased ten fold, highlights if a player has improved an aspect of his game.

Blue off its spot into a corner would be the minimum for a long pot.

Hmmmm 2-0 Ronnie (as it stands). Matchu isn't playing badly, he's just fouling

here we go..

The signs are there from Matthew that he can put Ronnie under some pressure.

Its probably because the're all likeable fellas, Day, Stevens, Williams and now Jones. They're all quite attacking players as well.

Don't forget cheeky, chirpy Dominic Dale

Ha, what a shot by Ro.

What an escape

Dennis has a bad case of Virgoitis tonight though.

he tried to get the black out me thinks

Symptoms include being unable to move your neck from pointing diagonally up to the right and shouting "Where's the cueball going?"

Ro dont look that confident

thats game over-

2-0

Shot Matchu!!

Shot Ronnie!!

this table is nails

Use the rest!!!!

I think tonight's players have adapted to the table speed much quicker than Mags and Carter.

ronnie has bottled this frame
