Very interested to see how Trump plays in this after some disappointing performances in recent finals.

If Trump loses his 4th ranking event Final of the season it's got to be be some sort of record. Don't think anyone lost that many in a single season.
I feel he'll win this one, but I also thought the same when he faced Liang and Bingo and he still managed to lose.
I hope Fu wins and gives Judd a record he certainly doesn't want.

I hope Fu inflicts another final defeat on Trump which hopefully will ruin him mentally just in time for the Crucible.

Trump is playing very well, but needs a title. I didn't fancy him to win the finals against Bingham and Liang for some reason, I think they have a bit of an Indian sign over him, and the best-of-7 with Murphy was always going to be a coin toss.
I fancy him to win tomorrow though, he usually plays well against Fu.

Fu beat him 6-5 this season last time they met.
But in both multi-session matches he beat Fu confortably, 13-7 and 13-8. I think Trump is more prone to beat him the longer the distance is.

Hopefully he won't win it at the expense of Ronnie

Marco all the way.
Stat masters, who is the pro with the worst conversion rate in finals?
Jimmy bound to be up there, but Judd is doing his best to claim the dubious title I think.

Trump has won 6 out of 14 finals.
Matthew Stevens most likely has the worst record winning 1 of 7.

Hopefully Marco wins. It's pretty late in his career, so i'd like to see him rewarded for the huge surge in form he's had post-Scottish Open.

For the record, Alex Higgins twice, Cliff Thorburn twice, Perrie Mans, Dennis Taylor, Doug Mountjoy and Ray Reardon each managed to lose EVERY ranking final in a single season

Reckon Fu will win around 10-8 ish. Trump's bad habit of losing ranking finals against players you'd expect him to beat is becoming a bit of a problem - yes you'd expect him to beat Fu over a long format. But best of 19 isn't really an unfamiliar length

My local is charging £4 a pint for Fosters. What the buck is that?

Had a quick pint, at an extortionate price. Now I am here, eating left over pizza and watching the final.

ITV have spent their analysis time analysing shots from yesterday. BBC would start at 1pm, and spend 15 minutes talking about golf.

To be fair, the Snooker Island policy is that music is more important than snooker.

Talking of non-issues that annoy us, that thing that Hendry did annoys me.
Stop comparing other sports to boxing. Winning the first frame is nothing like getting one punch in in a boxing match.
