Tough one. Both Perry and Milkins are decent players.

My head says Perry beating Robbo would be the bigger upset. My heart says there's absolutely no way Ronnie loses a match to Milkins.

What about your legs? What do they say? And your arms for that matter.

I think Ronnie will have to be very careful against Milkins. If he starts the match like he did against Duffy and Cambell he'll surely be 3-1 or even 4 nil down at the MSI, so definately needs a good start.

If Judd had done that, the commentators would be spunking themselves saying it was naughty.

My legs tell you to snake hiss off.

Please keep your disgusting imagery to yourself.

I agree. Milkins has proven that he is capable of beating a topguy. I'm sure he won't crack when the finishing line is coming closer.

Ronnie is in pretty good form and has just come off his impressive win in the Champions Cup. I think he will be too strong for Milky tonight.

Could be an entertaining match though as both have a fast attacking game which is very entertaining.

I know it wasn't particularly funny on my end.

4-0 behind? No way that will happen.

Ronnie is starting to enter the business end of this tournament now, I expect him to step it up tonight.

What I meant was if he starts like he did against his last 2 opponents, that could happen. I honestly don't think it will, BUT Ronnie needs a good start because Milkins is that type of player who can punish you, especially when he plays the top players he seems to thrive on the big occasion. But don't get me wrong I epxect Ronnie to win of course, but it won't be easy.

You'd think so, but he'splaying progressively worse as this tournament goes on. Plus at the CoC it looked like he'd fizzled out in the final.

I wouldn't say he's getting worse. His performance after the mid session interval yesterday was his best so far, I would say.

It was indeed his best by a long way, but as I said he isn't starting the matches well, so against opponents who can punish you more heavily that can be dangerous.

Also looking at snooker.org, all of sudden the possible Robbo vs Ronnie semi is supposed to be on Friday? What's going on?

Have you already read that?

It's interesting because it's about the critique of this new system. Ronnie made me laugh btw.

Ronnie will beat Milkins, I reckon.

I'm sure there's meant to be a joke there, but I have no idea what it is, sorry

However. Matches about to start. Will be a nice snooker evening.

Yep, two really nice matches.

This could be Ronnie's first real test at this event, however I expect him to win comfortably, 6-2 or 6-1.

I don't, something like 6-3 onwards for me.

Have to watch ROS instead of Robbo while Eurosport faff with some football programmes.

Looks like Milkins is another one of those players who fall apart when facing Ronnie

Good start

Would say the same thing too when Milkins would have missed a ball like that against Selby? It seems that people are always searching for a reason to talk the victories of O'Sullivan down.

He's The Gentleman. He's Joe Perry.

Okay. I'll just say that Milkins is off his game and it might have nothing to do with Ronnie. I'll reserve judgement for when/if he misses pressure balls.
