I dont like the new PL, but hope Ding wins this one (will be tough considering he's just back from China)...
GO DING!

Thinking about Ding just back from China and Murphy just back from Brazil gotta make winner of Higgins v Robbo strong fave. Fact its on home turf i can see the parakeet winning both games quite easy.
Though Robbo did beat Higgins last time they played in Scotland.
Any of these 4 in early PTC action 2mora by the way?

Ding is the iron man, he would probably fly there... using his Iron Man.. flying thingy!
they should probably move the PL to Wedensdays for the rest of players who are not ironmen!
or move PTCs...
or even better: scrap the PL all together.

It's 3pm, and you're right, it is stupid. It shouldn't be a big problem having those matches played later.

I might see if I can get a free live stream myself. If I wasn't trying to cut back I might nip to the pub to watch this. That and the fact that the new PL rules aren't even worth the effort and money of visiting the pub for.

It's not for me unfortunately, hence the cutting back I also mentioned.

Grrrr, I've just been informed, I have to be somewhere new at work today, which means no Premier League for me tonight.
No laughing at Witz sitting in the front row, enjoying his favourite players sober.

Don't you start?
My chorophobia is a real obsession with this forum.
No, I think I might live stream it tonight, if I can find one for free. Hopefully my birthday in two weeks I'll be somewhere near a Sky Sports box and a beer.
