Ladbrokes Players Championship Final !!!

Typical Hendry.

Good point.

Hendry just tries to pile the pressure on O'Sullivan so he won't beat his Crucible record.

Good point.

Also Yan Bingtao at the WGP and John Higgins at the EO were one frame away to knock him out.
Led 3-2 and lost 3-4.

Rubbish.

Hendry is a massive Hendry fanboy.

good point from Foulds. That match against Higginson at the German Masters was a huge turning point. Like a revival.

Zoos should be closed down. Animals are not here just to entertain humans.

Never really understood the point of zoos, tbh.

They do have some egg on their face, some of them, it's understandable they don't want to show their face too much. Just think of Wild with his daffodil business and Skullman and Roland calling Ronnie's decline ...

Wild, Skullman, Roland, Coland...

I'm still badly hungover and sick but that clinical Ronnie performance ( minus the usual big breaks ) has cheared me up no end. I echo Erza Scarlets sentiments ; I love you Ronnie!!!

Prisons for animals....

Murphy spends most of his career just paying lip service to O'Sullivan. It is embarrassing.

Yeah, 0-4 down, then one pot away to getting knocked out. But the final was also massive. Played catch up vs Maguire most of the times.

China Open should be good with its format changes, but I'm really looking forward to World Championship more than anything. Can't wait.

I never expected Ronnie to be playing this so damn well at the age of 42 and winning so many ranking tournaments, let alone 5 in a single season, again after last year when he was losing to bloody Chris Wakelin, Holt, Mark Davis, Joyce etc. The man's talent is incredible really. He hadn't won a ranking event for 20 months and we get this

Actually, I live in an area that is rampant with immigration. East end of London, to be precise.

This was a really great tournament.

I don't think I saw any mediocre matches.

And Selby won those 2 last season so anything is possible.

Yes because before then, there definitely, absolutely was a curse. Thank god the almighty Selby broke it

Hendry's record of 36 will be smashed.

And before anyone says there are now more events, Ronnie at the moment still hasn't entered as many ranking events as Hendry did.

Ronnie could well finish with 40 or more ranking event titles won. He says he doesnt care about records, but you could see how happy he was to equal those 5 won in a season, and playing this like this he could win in China and the most impirtantly the World Title. Selby did this last season and breaking that China Open Curse.

Ronnie fans have zero faith in him, until he wins. Then they gloat because Selby fans doubt him.

Some of his fans, certainly not me.

Some Ronnie fans*

Not me. I'm a huge Ronnie fan and I always assume he'll win. And when he's behind I always believe he'll turn the match around.

I also think he'll win the worlds this year. And if he doesn't, he'll win the next.

Apart from when he plays Higgins.

Oh, and good win tonight Ronnie.

Correct sir. And I have reasons for it. He changes his game, win or lose.

I think Ronnie's current season and the one where Hendry won his five rankers are the most impressive for me. All of Ronnie's wins are what can be classed as proper ranking events, unlike Ding and Selby. And when Hendry set his record there were only 8 ranking events on the calendar that season, so that was hugely impressive also.
