WC at almost 42

Are you drinking or taking tablets you are talking utter sh*te

Forgot to add the only winner of all 5 of snooker's major titles

Ah, I think Alex was trolling. I may have fallen for it, I'll be big enough to admite!

And Higgins World Champion and World number 1 within 6 seasons
Winner of the World title in 3 different decades
22 seasons unbroken in the top 16 too

When Lindrum won it in 1952 his father had recently died. Density!!

What are your 5 major titles ?

Higgins wins this moves to 29 titles

Ronnie on 28

So seeing as they would have 5 WSC each



Higgins would move clear 2nd

World Championship

China Championship
UK Championship
Masters

Hawkins v Ding would be the best possible Final for me, but I doubt Ding can beat Selby should they meet.

Hawkins.... I'm confident he can beat Higgins in the Semis, but afraid he would have anything left in the tank for the Final.

Needless to say, I dont think Ronnie will win, unless he comes out all guns blazzing, wins at least 3 of the 4 frames and puts pressure on Ding. Ronnie winning the 3rd session at worst 7-2 is just not something I can see happening.

Why CC and not the Champion of Champions for example?

Bigger prize but if you include that then Higgins has won all 6 majors

Alex0paul wrote:Bigger prize

Top prize'll probably go down next year as they're making it into a generic ranker.

Aye, impressively one ahead of a guy who was at home scratching his balls while ranking events were going on.

Bahrain

Did either have a 200k first prize?

For me, history is far more important than a big winners cheque therefore the Welsh Open is defo a major.

I'm surprised more wont support Higgins even if it means just to laugh at WILD
