Bottom half is loaded with great players and the stronger candidates.

Yeah, it will be a shame if Selby, Trump, Robertson, and Ronnie are all in the same half of the draw...

I'd put Judd either slightly above Robertson, or at least equal to him.

I know, it's hard to rank them. Should have put them equal..

After winning The Masters in 1995, O'Sullivan said "The World Championship is out of me, Higgins and Hendry this year". Hendry won.

Before the 2009 World Championship he said "It is out of me and John Higgins this year". Higgins won.

Last night he said "The World Championship is out of me, Trump, and Robertson".

Trump or Robertson it is then....

O'Sullivan 3.75
Trump 5.50
Selby 8.50
Robbo 11.00
Wilson 17.00
Allen 19.00
Williams 21.00
Higgins 21.00

Apparently. Robertson looks best value there imho.

You are usually bang on with Ronnie predictions.


Banging it, banging it, banging it.

To me its not a great idea to back yourself too much publicly, I remember when Judd did that, he was so confident and outspoken about it, and ended up going out to Rory Mcleod in the first round.

Selby is the winner for me. He is a fresh horse and is a course and distance winner. He also loves the track at Sheffield.

He'll have to avoid the fences of the first two rounds.

I fancy selby to do well also, he won't have the pressure of coming in world number 1, unless he wins in China, or as defending champion, and once he gets a good run going he's incredibly hard to stop. I have a feeling this could be his year.

For the sport's sake, God forbid that to ever happen. Selbo is a terrible ambasador for the sport.
The world champ needs to be charismatic and play attacking snooker. Taking Ronnie out of the equation, Trump would be the most suited to be champ. His style of play attracts the masses.
