Dott and Cope are my new heroes,
although I hope and expect Robertson to win.

GJ I like you man, but whoever calls Fu grinder does not know rubbish about snooker for me.
The guy is a top-10 break builder in the history of the sport. He is very clean in the table with the meaning that he doesnt like to attack balls as Sullivan or Hendry do. However this is far from calling him a Grinder. He is a better break builder than Robertson and better safety player. The reason that he hasnt won as much as he could based on his talent is that he is too unstable from game to game. I still remember when he won the Grand prix. He was more than awful in the semi against Greene. And then he went on to thrash O Sullivan. The guy deserves some credit. He is a top lad as well. Met him and was very polite.

Just got into London after my journey from Plymouth. Will try and get a seat near where the players walk in so look out for me. I am wearing a grey t-shirt. Might have to get up and bow as the great one, Dott, enters. Can't wait for Two Tribes to come blarring out.

My gran thought it was "When two tribes go to war, one add one and two times four" for some bizarre reason.

Ladbrookes have one at the venue. You get given a betting slip as you walk in.

Ding v Cope is one match I seriously want to see. I'd take Ebdon v either Robbo or Allen but hopefully Allen. And then a Cope v Allen final.

i agree i love to watch fu break-building he is so classy but he's so negative in broken play that he gets boged down so badly and comes over as a grinder.

Ebdon's D-game is better than Fu's, that's why Ebdon will get through
