Trump not being amongst the favourites for The Crucible this year might help him... he loves to talk big when he's the favourite and it always backfires.

Yeah, but Ronnie has won more than Higgins and MJW put together.
Besides, the statement is still vaguely true even if you count those three players. Higgins and Mark Williams are also special talents at the game.

I must confess, I didn't predict that Lisowski would be laying the smack down on Karen as much as he is.

I'd quite like to see Robbo vs Lisowski, but have a feeling they'll give the televised match to the highest ranked player instead.
It would be Selby-Lisowski and Hawkins-Robbo

Both Semis are televised at the same time.
Selby will play Lisowski or Kyren and Robbo/Bingham play Hawkins.

Oh right.
Dunno which one of those, I'd prefer.
I can see Lisowski bottling it against Selby.

Robbo's been using too much purple shampoo. His hair's got a purple tinge.

4-0 to Robbo and Lisowski.
Doubt they'll bottle it from here.
And at least either Robbo or Hawkins are players well capable of beating Selby in a potencial final.

Everything has to be about Ronnie, doesn't it?
The man is obsessed and hates Ronnie with a passion. I think Ronnie once stole his girlfriend or killed his cat or something. Or maybe he stole his cat and killed his girlfriend.
It seems like O'Sullivan fanboys are getting very irritable now that his nemesis is finding his form and have to start reverting to petty insults to mask their fear...
Ronnie's having a fantastic season. All is good for me. I couldn't care less about Selby to be honest. I just find it a bit strange how almost every post you make is about how terrible Ronnie is or how his fans are scared of one thing or another. It's a bit strange.
You obviously haven't been reading my posts. Occasionally I have jested about O'Sullivan; mostly spoken the truth, but the problem is that when you are blinkered you will never see the full picture.

Neil absolutely thrashed Stu.
Barry vs Robbo. Hope Beast Hawk appears. His peak game can match anyones (bar Higgins and ronnie maybe)

Whitewash completed. With another one visit break. One of the best performances I've ever seen from any pro in a bo11.
And notice that his Average shot time was even under 20 seconds. Which proves one more time that he's better when he plays quicker.

Kyren has been the nearly man this season with Shaun though Shaun won one title coupled with 4 ranking final losses.
4-4, Lis had a good chance to stop the rot. Tough to see him winning this now.

4-4 in the Lisowski v Kyren match in less than 1 hour and a half...

I think neither of those two will have a realistic chance to beat Selby in a bo19 match. They don't have the allround game to beat Selby over that distance I feel.

Over Best of 11 maybe, but I agree, over Best of 19 it may prove a bit too much.
But either Robbo or Hawkins have a good chance to beat him.

Maybe a Selby vs Robertson final would be good.
Remember when their matches were rare?

A lot of websites aren't currently allowing me on, as they breach; "Time wasting in the office rules". At present, I can still get on Snooker Island though.

I wondered if it was some of Ebdon's patented Vegan Power.
