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.

No Chinese players in the qualifiers. Shame. It's become a tradition the last couple of years that Ding faces a fellow Chinaman in the first round.

You're so confident in Stevens, you outline four of the sixteen top-seeds that you think he can beat.

I think most of the top 16 would happily accept Stevens as the round 1 opponent. I'd fancy my own chances against that choker.

Yeah, except Stevens was just him up, and not one of his facebook friends.

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

To be fair, Smart is a Ronnie fan, so 2 majors would be a source of laughter to him
