ORDER OF PLAY

many great players still involved in the tournament. I expect Trump or Selby to get through the tophalf. Probably Trump.

Bottom half is harder to tell. Ronnie is not playing well enough atm.

Not sure that Yuan v O'Sullivan head to head is right.

@ Wildey

Its ROS who's leading the H2H 2:0. Not Sijun.

Getting some proper looking matches there.

Come on Barry

Trump v Kyren, Higgins v Selby, Perry v Allen and then Murphy/Hawkins v ROS would be a real great Quarter-Final line-up.

I think we might see some surprises though.

Bring back Reanne.

If Ronnie gets to the final I definitely expect him to meet one of his three biggest rivals (Trump,Higgins or Selby).

Ronnie not on at 7? What is this bull.

Why would you want to play in the USA? Nobody would watch you.

Why would you not pick one of The Crucible finals Jimmy?

I like the Irish Open window.

Nice music Yan.

Seems silly.

He should have chosen the 1994 one, it was even his birthday and imagine he'd won that.

That was crazy.

What did he have to pick? Worst defeats?

He did on purpose I believe, he just thought hard and named one match apart from those Finals.

Bingtao could be Trump's first real test here if his game comes together. He has fond memories from this place.

One match he could change the result of. He picked a first round Crucible defeat.

Did you see the John Lewis advert yet? It was sad at first, but then had a happy ending.

I was hoping the Dragon would burn them and then hoard the gold. Completely unrealistic depiction of dragons.

Bastille song was alright though.

He's a happy Christmas dragon.

The buck was that Judd?

The Match he picked would have changed the course of Snooker History instead of Steve Davis going on to win the WC in 1981 and then start his dominance Jimmy would have beaten him and who knows what would have happened.

Judd needed two snooker, then provided for Yan himself.
