I think snookerbacker is more occupied with the ladies than with the snooker at the Crucible. #mustardo#notmuchleftforoursnookerfan

don't worry, he won't.
I've seen this all before. Impressive in opening rounds, then faces a top opponent, falls apart.
Yeah, in best of 5s and 7s. He will be very tough to beat in these long formats. Last year Ding played out of his skin to beat him.

No.
In tournaments like UK and Masters. In UK he was playing great, faced Robbo, lost in the decider playing one of his worst deciders of his career.
He may reach the semis here, he may not, but win this title? Not a chance.

I know we are in the thick of the World Championship, but outside at the front of the Crucible is a stand-up poster of next season's events and dates.
I have done a small piece on my website regarding the list...

Sheesh, look at October / November. CoC, Irish open and UK quite literally right after one another. Very busy indeed.

Would Gilbert have beaten everyone that has played so far? No one has stood out, perhaps Higgins as well as ROS, but there wouldn't be many more. If only he could have got a White Gould Maguire etc!

Milkins 1-0 up.
I reckon this match will go close.
Milkins will be drawing memories from the same side of the arena 3 years ago...

IMO he could have beaten any of the seeds that have played so far, except for Higgins, ROS and Marco Fu. Fu played very well.

Selby looks dodgy, but he keeps getting away with it when he misses!

3 or 4 seeded players might have beaten him but I'm not even sure about that.

Does anybody know whether the streams linked from the World Snooker webpage have commentary? I can watch all matches on Eurosport player, but there is no commentary for the match that is not broadcast.

Yes, they have been for quite a few years now, since 2009 probably, but this year in particular it's been laughlable at times.
