Fingers crossed Robertson will get Stevens or Day, would prefer to see Robbo face one of those Welsh duo would be good to watch.

As a Allen and Selby fan, battle of the youngsters Allen v Trump could be a classic while I want Selby to face King could be a struggle for my fellow Leicester man but I like battles.

Gonna miss the draw, lecture's been moved because the lecturers are on strike on Thursday.

To be honest I think this might be one of the most interesting World Championships for a while, certainly a strong field, 25 of the 30 who've played their before have won matches at the crucible and 23 of the 32 have spent time in the top 16
