How do you know?
If that's true, what a shame it will be. He does a good job, much better than Goldstein.

The fact they are number 1 and 2 now I really hope the meetings will come. Finals and WC matches that is. Its about time.

Tc events but WC most important. Trump’s records at everything else are irrelevant . Lots of discussions about trump and selby but selby is a big match and crucible player first and foremost. Trump has a long way to go now to ever match Selby as a player let alone surpass. I would be surprised if Selby didn’t win at least one more WC .

Thats the point though Judd Trump will have to play very well to beat Selby over 4 sessions where Selby has so many other ways to beat players.
There is this thinking Judd plays brilliant every time fact is he doesn't Hes very beatable during the course of a tournament but hes got this aura that the likes of Ronnie, Hendry and Davis had basically he beats players while they travel to the venue.

Judd does not have the habit of breaking down after breaks of 40 or 50. He makes frame-winning breaks. Shaun had many, many chances to make frame-winning breaks against Selby. He got in with long pots a lot, but couldn't get big breaks going. Judd would get in with long pots at least as much as Shaun did, probably more times. And the chances of him breaking down after 40 or 50 and gifting an easy table to Selby are slim.

Well well wellllllllllllll!.Can you believe it!,Mark Selby beats the Magician 18-15 to become the World Champ for the 4th time!.
I admit,i did,nt see all of the Final,but i saw most of it,bout 75%.
And from what i saw,read about the match,it,s fair to say,that Selby deserved to win.
Shaun can,t complain that he was frozen out for a long bout or that he did,nt get many chances,cause he got bucketfulls of chances,but he blew far to many.
In the very first session,in the first 4 frames,he really should,ve been t least 3-1 up,as he had very good chances to do so,and Selby was,or at least looked very tired,but he ended up havin to make do with being level at 2-2.
Shaun did of course do well,as he put up a fight in coming back,when Selby went in front,but he then kept makein too many errors and Selbs finished him off.
Scoreing wise,well it was,nt the highest standard we,ve ever seen,but as we all should know by now,snooker aint just bout high breaks n pottin balls.
Selby managed FOURTEEN 50+ BREAKS,(in 2 frames,he knocked in two 50+ers),2 of the FOURTEEN 50+ers,were Centuries.
Murphy managed TWELVE 50+ers,3 of them were Centuries.
Hard luck to Smurph,would,ve obviously been incredible if he,d of pulled it off,but he was,nt good enough i,m afraid.
He,s bumped his World Championship Final appearences up to 4.
Selbys now been in 5 WC Finals and has won it 4 times so far.
VERRRRRRY WELL DONE MARK SELBY!.
DAMMMMMMMNNNN!,Why did,nt i say DEAL to Sir Dan- s doulble/Quits bet offer!.
Ah well,i still did very well,in the Final alone,i won 5 Bean n Tattie pies off the bu**er!.
I,ve now written all of The Numpty Dumptys debts on another,much BIGGER piece of paper.
So,lets have a look,i,ve fully updated the list n it now looks like this,.........
2 Kebaps.
A BIG fry up.
13 Bean n Tattie Pies!!!!!.
Pay up soon ya Numpty Dumpty!, otherwise you,ll be gettin a WRIT Laddie!.
