Hopefully Allen wins it. The other alternative is Selby. None of the others are capable fo winning this.

Nonsense, Gilbert almost got to the final of the worlds last year and that's a much tougher feat than winning this tournament.

Fair play Ford. :hatoff:


Ford is fantastic. The way he always holds himself together when playing O'Sullivan is what impresses me. He is like Milkins in that regard. Immensely impressive.

Almost is the word that sums up Gilbert's career. He will probably almost win this too.

Funny at 1:23 when he said he was only playing his B game


I liked it when he said he was just using these Home Nation events as practice for the Chinese events and that he would only start thinking of winning the £1 million if he won the first 3 of the series or 4. He is always joking around is Mei Xi Wen and that is why the public love him.

What the buck is a disgrace about that you idiot?


Someone has to win for the first time.


Some of the posting on here when people don't get some sort of ideal bucking line up is moronic to say the least.

Bit of a low blow calling Matthew Stevens a lazy buck at 3.06.

I missed that the first time Pink Ball but you're right. And he said it with a straight face. That might come back to haunt him if he wins here, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. He will then need to win in Wales to earn the magic £1 million and the crowd will get right on his back.

He needs to make a public statement in the morning retracting this comment.

Interesting thoughts on playing in Crawley there. Really puts earlier comments in perspective.


Yes. Saying that Crawley was the place he dreamed of visiting when he was 'knee high to a grasshopper' will be sure to get the crowds behind him this afternoon.
