No. I don't think he'll win it again.
But I don't care.

Yes.
I predicted he'd win in the English Open before he reached the final.
Same with the UK.
Same with this.

I can't decide being honest...
He'll certainly go there with the best form he's ever come into the Crucible, but that sometimes means little.
The Crucible test is different alltogether... I'd like to think he can win it, but honestly cant say yes or no...

Of course he will. I am so convinced that he will, that tomorrow morning I am going to walk in to a betting shop and place a bet of £8,000 on a Ronnie O'Sullivan victory at the 2018 World Professional Snooker Championships, due to be held at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

Sweetdreams buddy. There's something special about nodding off on a Sunday night after a big Ronnie win.

Make sure it's not a Ladbrokes shop.

Of course he will.
The Australian TV show thingy story is part of the his communication.
Like if he's gonna miss the biggest event at the moment of his peak form...

I'm not sure, man. He seemed pretty serious about it this time.

He always seems serious about it at the time.
This doesn't sound like he won't turn up:
“I don’t think I’m capable of winning another world title. You need a lot of staying power there and I am too old. I can play well over a few days, but the World Championship is all about stamina and consistency which is not suited to my game at the moment. But we’ll wait and see.”
He'll be there.

I dunno, man. I'm just really worried about it, I guess. I can see the lure of Australia being too good to resist.
We'll just have to wait and see.

I will eat 50 Big Macs if he doesn't play. Basically, there is no chance of him not playing.

Just to clarify, will you actually do that?
Will you eat 50 Big Macs should Ronnie not play? Will you provide video evidence that you have done this?
Also, is it really worth risking selling out everything you believe in, just to demonstrate how unlikely something is?

Still waiting to see pictures of Wildey with a flower up his bottom.
Not necessarily because of his promise though.
