Beer, Pizza, Banter.

buck know why I fussed around going up to London this afternoon at all, to be fair.

Who is your money on to win the Masters then? your much better when you are talking about snooker mate.

Maybe most people will be expecting Murphy to win this one given both players performances in their respective Quarter-Final matches, but I think Allen will up his game and win it.

Murphy has quite a good record against him, CL aside, he leads 8-2, but I have a feeling Allen will win it.

Or maybe this is just me wanting an Allen v Ronnie Final

Going with Murphy, Allen needs to seriously improve his game to have a chance.

Have to fancy Ronnie on the other side but Neil can certainly do him in, should be a great match, best of luck to both

I said earlier in the week that the winner of Murphy v Mags would reach the final and I'm sticking by it. Interesting to note that Allen has only beat him twice, once in a Euro PTC and once in the invitational Jiangsu Classic (pre-cursor to Wuxi I think?)

If Robertson keeps playing like that, these two are playing for the runner-up place you'd probably say. But I still believe that Murphy can be dangerous. He played some great matches this season and if he has a good day, he can make big breaks non-stop and at least gets really close to Robbo.

As for Allen, I don't think, he has the overall class to beat Robbo in a best of 19.

I'll be very very surprised if either were to beat Robbo in such a Major Final as this.

Robbo is 85 to 90% certain for the tile in my view. Those two are just playing for runner-up spot, as they would be if it were Ronnie in the Final.

I actually think Allen will win this one but if he reaches the Final he'll fall short, Robbo just too damn good at the moment.

murphy played really well to beat selby and maguire

why cant he win the whole thing. 2012 neil was the form player coming into the final but what happened in the final

allen is another stroy but he will be also hungry. neil played proper matchplay snooker but he isnt unbeatable.

50/50 match in my opionion

Bit torn with this one, I'd prefer Allen to win because when he's playing his best he deserve a major final and hopefully title but don't think he's going to keep up with Robbo if he does get through.

Whatever happens this will be a closer affair than this afternoons match.

However it's fair to say Robbo is better in Best of 11s than Best of 19s

I'm hoping for a Robertson v Murphy final.

Allen v Robbo for me, but whoever it is Robbo will win it.

If Robbo carries on playing like this, then yes definitely.

Who'll win then?

Right, snooker time again. Think Murphy will take this and hope he does as well.

These Pro File features

Just get the match started BBC

Have to make sure Hendry and Davis earn their pay.

A nice close match please

Does the fact Rob Walker calls Robertson Robbo infuriate anyone else? It's just unproffessional!!

Christ, Allen's walk on music is rubbish.
