To be fair, I think we are all more excited at the moment about Power Snooker.

The quality of play in the UK championship should be awesome. They have had so much match practice on the run up to it with all the PTC events, and we will definately see more people ranked 17-64 reach the final 16 due to this extra match practice, might even be a shock semi-finalist or finalist (Mark Davis, Walden, Gould, Stevens etc).

I maybe biased but I'm going tip Matthew to do well at this years UK .
I like his draw after Ding and I hoping that Ding will feel the pressure of being defending champion.

Lol sorry tubber and sundaygirl..in the back of your mind you must know it though? But if he does I will eat my hat and paint your house!..and bow down to you..but im pretty certain.

Save this quote if you are so sure and send it back to me when he has a run to the semis to tell me what a hammer i am!

Ding will be a contender to win it again. As will Robertson, and maybe Selby. Wouldn't fancy John Higgins after his long lay-off and everything that's happened him, and I don't think I'll be tipping O'Sullivan either.

Well done for getting the joke. :clap: <laugh>

One year at Telford, I got recognised on the second day. Some woman came up to me and went; "You were here yesterday." I said; "Yes." She said; "I saw you on telly watching Steve Davis vs Ding." I didn't really know how to reply but she kept on, as if she was meeting her favourite pop star. She went; "You were wearing a red t-shirt." I was like; "I know." <laugh>

I thought she was going to ask me for my autograph.

Don't think it could rival the 2004 UK quarter final lineup;

Perry v Carter
Gray v Dott
King v Parrott
Lee v Maguire

One of the best tournaments ever.

Remember that old advert with Wyclef Jean where he signed an autograph, and it ended up being a contract to be a fan's slave for life? For some reason I think it was for Virgin Broadband, but I can't remember why.
