Where's Skull these days? I miss his minute by minute updated posts.
I think he's been very busy of late with his uni related work. Me too on my work for that matter, haven't been able to watch as much Snooker as I normally do.

You on water HF? that's a new one
I drank a nice coke and had a pizza along with it.
Fantastic analysis from you Andre,you,re correct,i do drink water,but not often,i drink fruit juice more than anything else.
Do you eat anything else bar pizza?,every time you mention what you eat,it,s always bl**dy pizza.
YIPPEE!,what a time to make a century,Come on Smurph,don,t bottle this,just 1 more frame to grab your 6th ranker.

Where was the mark of a champion at the crucible final andre? Murphy is so vulnerable at times. Losing matches and frames from straight forward positions is worrying. His good long potting days are gone. He makes simple pos errors even arguably having the best cue action out there

I only eat pizza about 2 or 3 times a month actually, but I only post what I eat here when I eat pizza, don't ask me why.

He's a champion whether you like it or not mate, nobody can be a Triple Crown winner if he isn't a true champion.
Everybody can lose matches from well in front, just ask Ronnie.

It's been abit quiet on here this week. Even this thread for the final only has 10 pages so far. If it had been Robnie playing there would have been at least 20 pages.

Yes true mate, I was just saying Ronnie has lost lots of matches from well in front, and that doesn't dictate if you're a champion or not.

He was never the best player under pressure and we've just seen it again. I don't doubt for a second that the likes of ROS, Higgins or Selby would have cleared and won the title from that position.

Selby these days probably wouldn't.
I would say Robbo and Ronnie would definately clear up from there.

That's the point, the amount of times Shaun fails to deliver heavily out weighs the times he has

I don't think i've seen many deciders / high-profile deciders with Murphy. I know he lost to trump in the 2013 Worlds. Bingham on the other hand has usually produced his best stuff when coming from behind with momentum behind him.

Well,i,m certainly not gonna be disappointed if Smurph loses this match,the dumplin had countless chances throughout the match,it was unreal,what a chance to adding to his silverware,he,ll put on a brave face,but deep inside,he,ll be absolutley GUTTED.
