Ronnie does. Not sure about Williams.

He'll probably fold like a cheap tent and let Higgins win it though.

Hawkins is in awe of Higgins. You could already feel and see that in his pre match interviews before his semifinal against Higgins last year.

Thats why I think Williams has a better chance.

Don't get me wrong, Hawkins will need beast mode or close, but even Williams will struggle to beat Higgins I reckon.

I just think with Hawkins being hungry and slightly younger, he has the best chance.

I don't particularly enjoy either Higgins or Hawkins amd would rather get some vitamin D than watch a Higgins procession.

IMO Hawkins has more chance of beating Higgo than Willo due to the way he plays the game

No way, Willo usually plays very well against Higgins and is not afraid of him. Hawkins will lose 18-11 or something like that.

He needs to dry his eyes quickly. There's still a final to play.

Trump is also in tears whilst watching the interview. He is sharing John's joy...

Someone said on Snookerydookery that Higgins might be destined to win the World title the year the Champions League final takes place in Kiev.

Agree 100 %

To be honest: I don't think either Hawkins nor Williams have a chance against Higgins in this sort of form.

You're a real man John. Very honest.

Class act all these perfect people really are sickening never make mistakes obviously

No, I've never been caught on camera asking how I'd swallow £300,000. This is true. Higgins is no more a class act than Farah, Team Sky, Armstrong, or any other former 'class acts'.

I wonder who that was.

He's a drugs parakeet, plus he's Somalian.

He's never failed a drugs test, though I've heard various things about how his career "doesn't make sense." And of course all athletes have "never failed a drugs test" until they finally do.

But as for him being Somalian a) what does that have to do with anything, and b) he's lived in Britain since he was 8 years old.

I doubt he cares what perfect people who never make mistakes think

Enjoy.

I have no issue with his Somalian descent. I couldn't give a toss about that.

I thought the same thing but in this era of Computer game and Selfie fanatics anything is possible for a 43 year old!!!

MJW has a better chance no doubt.

This isnt to say he would win, but of the two I would put my money on MJW to win the Final.

First he has to reach it, and I think we wont be seeing that. He missed a golden opportunity yesterday to be level at 12-12. and that could cost him.

No, he's more concerned with wide-eyed simpletons.

I agree with you on Farah and its funny that as soon as people dig him out the old race card is thrown in your face

Yesterday? rubbish times flying...

Yes Hawkins in beast mode has a good chance but he also might go off the boil completely for a session or so and it's all over (wouldn't be the first time).

lol it was this morning

Lance Armstrong never failed any drug tests

What does Kiev have to do with Higgins? Does he have some past history with the place or something?

You have to be an idiot to fail a drugs test.

After 8 years people still talking about the "match fixing"? LOL. The fact is John Higgins will play in the WC final for 7-th time, like it or not. Deal with it.

Yes, we are. As much of simpletons like to pretend he did nothing wrong. No, I don't like it, yes, I will deal with it and, no, I will not stop talking about the match fixing. I'd prefer to be banned than to stop myself talking about it.

He served his ban and yes it was lenient but if you were up on any offence would you say sorry that's to light

Iranu

My apologies then
