BUMP

unbiased

it should not be easy for Robbo and on paper its a tough match for the Defending WC and with the pressure of being the defending champion its a banana skin waiting to happen having said that i really not seen anything on a snooker table from trump to sugest he can win that match....Snooker is not played on a Ranking list or on Paper.

And that's Wild's idea of cutting edge humour.

thats a tough match mate and i think Higgins got his work cut out against Lee and McLeod got one of the easiest draw....Walden only played there once against Selby in 2009.

Fu was playing some dismal stuff leading into the tournament last year, and still kept it to 10-9 and was unlucky not to get a chance in the decider. Can't see Fu losing it this time, his A and even B-game will be far too tidy for Gouldy.

I think we can all agree that come April 16th, that there is some crazy snooker rubbish going down.

China Open will serve as a tasty appetiser.

and ill join you i think That is the best match i couild ever wish for really.

Higgins v Lee the pick of the ties for me, come back down on the Thursday morning for my 2nd 2011 Crucible trip and fully expect some to be drunk and shouting out parakeet as the Pieman delivers a knockout blow to Higgins.

Higgins and Williams will have to be on their guard right from ball one, very tough opponents for both of them in R1 of a World Championship, that Higgins Lee match in the UK was, for me, the best quality match of the season so far so Lee has every right to be thoroughly snake hissed off. Allen vs Stevens, Robertson vs Trump, O'Sullivan vs Dale ... I think it's a cracking draw

Williams vs Day, what a 1 round match ! Stephen Lee is a very good player but I think eventually he lacks the bottle to beat people like Higgins, Selby, O´Sullivan, Maguire or Murphy. For me, Fu vs Gould and Allen vs Stevens are also interesting ones.

Look, I like you and all, but I don't want you joining me when I come myself.

What's really going to happen is Stephen Lee huffs and puffs to a close loss to Higgins, and you get yourself thrown out in the first frame.

A tournament like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a tournament like this
Some people search forever
For that one special sport
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a tournament like this.

Ryan Day has beaten John Higgins at the crucible so he wont be frightened of Williams and hes coming back to form so that could be a cracker.

the bottom half of the draw is the hardest ive ever seen

murphy ronnie williams higgins. for someone to win the WC from the bottom half would have to potentionally face mark williams, john higgins, and robertson./ding in the final.

very hard draw this

very hard draw this

Bottom Half is loaded with Welshmen

i think its safe to say the semis will be robertson v ding and williams v higgins

Robertson on Trump: 'I'd rather play him than someone who takes a long time over shots. You know what type of game you're going to get'

as in i know he will go for everyhting and leave me sitters alot of the time
