My God, those boys talk a ridiculous amount of donkey doo don't they? Taylor, Virgo, Thorne... all idiots. How these boys are rated higher by the BBC than Everton & Foulds just shows what they know.

He does have himself to blame for the predicament hes in due mainly to missing a lot of events in the last 2 years.
But as for the Premier League, i dont think Ronnie has turned against it, and the new format doesnt fuss him one way or another, its just that at this stage of his career he has new priorities and i think its clear that the Ronnie of old is back, form wise and i expect big things from him at the UK and beyond in the rest of the season.
I think the Premier League has had its day though, mainly due to the expansion of snooker. When there were only 6 events it was ideal in the winter but now we have a 3 month gap in the autumn between rankers cos the PL takes up 10 / 11 weeks effectively. It also means we have a crammed 4 months in the spring with the Masters, Shootout, World Open, Wales, Germany, India, PTC Finals, China and World Champs all crammed in.
Now theres talk of even more rankers so unless the PL goes, where on earth are they going to fit them all in. I think the time has come for Sky to either rebrand the PL into a 1 week elite tournament for the top guys or ditch it completely and start showing a couple of newfull rankers which have their own stamp on it.
And as for the PTCs i think a reduction in them is also due and ideally i want to see 4 main rankers on mainland Europe very soon.
