If Angles somehow beat Ding and then Fu/Selby in the final it would be a bigger shock than Joe Johnson definitely.
Also, on a cooler note we're guaranteed a qualifier in the final. Suck on that Peter Ebdon.

So, out of the four players left, Selby is not only the only former champion, he's also the only one's who been to the final.
Skullman Fun Fact: Last time we were guaranteed a new winner was 2005 (Stevens v Murphy) and the last time we had two players who were in their first World final was way back in 1981 (Davis v Mountjoy)

Hopefully McManus can settle in quick. He isn't used to the one table setup these days, whereas Ding, despite some poor results lately, is.
I don't want a hammering here, would be disappoiting.

McManus was actually playing 3 days after qualifying
and during the WGP both McManus and Foulds said on ITV 4 that Ebdon was talking nonsense.

And if any qualifier were to get tired, it'd be Alan as the oldest player in the main draw. But he hasn't (yet).
Although, both him and Ding aren't even 2/3 through, having won 66/101 frames needed.

The only way I'd be happy with a hammering was if Ding played some sort of god-given match and made 15 or 16 centuries and McManus managed to get in with 4 or 5 over the course of the match. There's no safety frames. Otherwise this needs to go close.

Against anyone else I'd want McManus to win but I hope Ding wins the title. McManus should have a nice pair of tartan trousers ready for the big one table occasion.

McManus looks in good form despite his age. His interest in cooking probably helps him look after himself.

I believe he meant no chance for vegan qualifiers if we're being fair to him GJ.

Well Ding. You won't get a better opponent to reach the final and you won't get a better chance to win this title.
Meanwhile Trump will hit his tiny head against the wall, having wasted another good opportunity.

Annoyingly Ding Junhui will play his best here, and win with a session to spare.

I am not sure why Veganism has been brought in to it.
There are plenty of corpse munchers who have played garbage in this tournament. Judd Trump being the prime example.

Trump ain't got the stamina or the brains to see out a Worlds. If it's not working, given em a bash and maybe fluke one is his mantra. The boy (he's no man) is a chutney ferret cockwomble.

All the semi-finalist have a balance diet and lifestyle. They're not running 10k, doing step or arse-spraying pulses.

I have been Vegan for a long time now, and I know from experience that corpse munchers who try to attack Veganism only do it because they know that killing animals like lambs and calves is wrong, and cannot honestly justify their cruel actions.
There is no need to attack Vegans for their compassionate choices. Please just look at what cruelty your own dietary choices cause. The life of a lamb is just as important to that animal as your life is to you.

Anyone that didn't watch the first 4 frames of Higgins v McManus doesn't really have the right to go bashing Alan. The 3 frames he won were mesmerising to lead 3-1, it was exhibition snooker really. And he scored heavy throughout the entire match, more than earned his semi final spot.
I don't expect Ding to stroll through, I think it'll be more of a fight than people think.

Judd Trump must be sick. If he had not got involved in Twittergate with Dominic Dale he should have beaten Ding, as Ding didn't seem to believe he could beat Trump. Williams has cue problems and anyone would have beaten him, and it would have been McManus in the semis(well in theory as I guess if Trump had still been in, everything would have been different, and it may have been Higgins).
Trump ruined it!

Ding is favourite despite his dodgy temperament, could well be close though.
Whatever the result, kudos to McManus for doing the game a massive, massive favour...

Can't say that for sure. He might have beaten Higgins, but may not have. It seems there's no certain outcomes in this World Championship!
