Think I'm in the minority on here when I say I've watched every match of the Premier League this season! Expect a lot more to be watching on here this weekend with two quality semi finals and a final the following day too. Come on Bingham!

Nothing against his style of play. I actually like attacking play. Just don't like his personality. Still if he brings in fans, I'll put up with him.

Looks like Bingham's long streak of frames won without reply has finally ended.

The only players to beat Higgins in this years Premier League have been Ebdon and Bingo. Looks like hair has been holding the rest of them back.

Why does the shot clock make so much difference? It's not like the players aren't playing their natural games.

it makes some difference when players are attempting to make good safeties or a more cagey game and dont have any more time extensions, for instance... that can put them off their natural game. But yeah apart from that there isnt that much of a difference, as opposed to what some people claim.

but thats the exception that proves the rule

I think other matches can be boring because of the league format because winning means less. Robbo vs Ding was exciting because the winner actually affected things in terms of who qualifies.
