HIGGINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Why exactly do you want Higgins to win so badly

he is a class player and has so much bottle

And is it just me or has Ding's English improved ten-fold?!

In all seriousness that will have helped his game so much it's given him the confidence in the UK whereas before he must have felt a bit of an outsider, just imagine how hard it would be if you or I had to go and live and work in China not knowing the lingo !

I think you can say that about both of them but fair enough, I know a lot of people don't like O'Sullivan

Loved it when he had that miscue in the decider last night and he just laughed it off haha, never would have happened a year or two ago.

Ding had a bit of a laugh when he went out of position against Bingham last night in the decide, he got a kick actually didn't he? The Ding of a few years ago would never have done that, in fact I don't think many players at all would have done that

A Ronnie victory over Higgins in a decider would be priceless. The problem with Higgins is that he wins 95% of these close matches.

should be able to watch some snooker again tomorrow wild time for you to move over pal i will be whoring the place down left right and centre with my posts ha

want to see ding finish off selby got nothing against selby would be nice to see him win it but this is dings year ding fast becoming an all weather player i just think fate he will beat ronnie in the final and lay them masters 2007 final ghosts to rest

williams and trump should complete their wins without the need of an interval and i can see ronnie turning over higgins tomorrow just looking at the frame scores ronnie a lot of fight in him twice two frames down he came back especially the last two frames winning them in one visit his game when close in is still deadly i think this will be the key

if he gets a couple of frames early tomorrow i can honestly see him going into the final session at least 10-6 up he still got it in him to reel off them big breaks in really quick succession

I think Sullivan divides opinion amongst snooker fans, in fact Higgins probably does now also.

Higgins is just quality but shame he has only been on his D game so far this week. And hes still in the quarters!

They both upped their game considerably today, it was a wonderful session

Oh yeah he was a different player today, what a great match so far

But hes player of the season for sure!

if ronnie and higgins go into a decider tomorrow i think it will be ronnies turn to win as last year higgins won both deciders in the uk and grand prix

when you get two great players playing and theres little to choose between them sometimes the law of averages comes into it because they that inseperable

however would dearly love to see ronnie in the final think it will be awesome what the game been missing these last few months that man got the wow factor and no matter what anyone says yes he an annoying bucker when his head not right and snooker will never die without him but with him in full flow snooker is a hundred times better theres no one like him

keep pushing pal keep pushing expect to see you in the final

Higgins is the only person who has the remotest sniff of a chance of beating Ronnie now. With his psychologist guy there, Ronnie would go through Williams or Allen in the semis with ease.

His mental state is sensational at the moment. He looks like a different player, no, even like a new man. He has his twitter account making fun and at his fighting spirits on the table are back. His post match interviews were a complete contrast to the ones he did previously this season or better seasons. He's not bugging all the time about not playing perfect, he is glad he's playing and enjoying it. I said it after his crucial first round match, Ronnie is back and is here to stay for some years to come.

The winner isn't usually the person who looks good in the first couple of games. Usually it's somebody who gets through the first couple of games, and improves. Somebody who lets centuries fly early can kind of tire themselves out.

Selby

in hindsight lee was never going to beat higgins looking back the season higgins has had and a 13-4 head to head against lee i think realisticly lee was never going to get near him and lets be honest rory mcleod was never an opponent so higgins reaching the quarters playing his d game is nothing special

No question or doubt about that. Higgins is a very fine snooker player

I think that's generally spot on actually.

I have been watching snooker for about 5 years now. Higgins is playing this season the snooker Ronnie played in 2007/08, in other words sensational stuff. He's the only player I have seen who is capable of the same insane standard of Ronnies A game. Thats why I deeply respect Higgins game.

Of course Ronnies style is a lot more flamboyant and is even greater than Higgins in full flow, while Higgins has his perfect matchplay snooker at his best.

I feel a little sick about it all, I know it's only a snooker match but it would actually be my best moment as a snooker fan up to now if Sullivan won this. Serious butterflies.

match or championship?

Is it more a pro-Ronnie or anti-John thing or just a conglomerate of the two ?

All I know is, I would love Mark Williams to thrash whoever wins that match.
