I'd be a tad happier if Allen won this match to be fair, he's a due a good run in one of these big tournaments, hasn't had one since his UK Champs final.

Allen for me has pretty much lost this match.

badly needed that frame, Robbo playing his C or D game even manages to draw level.

It will have to be a super Allen now I think to win it, as Robbo almost always comes back stronger after the MSI, especially after this result.

Robbo is spot on, Judd has lost his fear and scare factor he had against his opponents, and that may be one of the reasons for his recent results.

Robbo does talk a lot of sense in his interviews, love hearing him. <ok>

Yeah, I think so too, he beat Selby by playing quick attacking snooker in the UK


And he lost the Masters final and went 5-1 down in the UK when the pace was much slower.

Not so sure. Maybe he'll improve if he's with his back against the wall but at the moment it's not looking good.


What did I tell you...

Neil does this so well, when he looks down and out a ton wakes him up again, and only the great champions manage to do that.

Hoping for more of the same in the next frames, but if it's goes close I expect a few nerves again.
