Prima Donnas

Is it me or are the top players turning into a bunch of Prima Donnas.

They always seem to be moaning.

Nothing seems to be right for the delicate flowers, be it the venues, the balls, the cloths or playing conditions, the refs, their opponents, the travelling, etc.

It's getting tiresome.

I concur although there are still some who do not whinge.

I expect a fair few moans about the table from Allen when this match is over.

The Top 16 used to be a big target to get into because it gave you access to later rounds and play less snooker. The tour now seems to be based upon current form as its usually the Top 16/32 in the current season that qualify for events. So it rewards players on form rather then someone ranked 16 who doesn't bother entering tournaments or has not won a match all season.
