I think Higgins will prefer to face Selby given Dings great record against John

I think we're getting our first landslide of the year with Selby at a canter.


Fully agree with this comment <ok> havent seen anyone here (apart from Wild maybe) saying it's a disgrace a 41 year old man manages to reach Finals these days, no bigger than the Worlds... Maybe they'll say: Oh Higgins was better than the rest so deserves to be here.

Wasn't Ronnie also better than the rest and fully deserved to be in the Masters Final and indeed win it?~

Anyway, double standards aside, I'll be rooting for Selby, it wont be a repeat of 10 years ago and Higgins fairytale will come to an end. <ok>

But I'm hoping for a good quality Final, wouldnt even mind a decider as it's been donkey doo years we havent had one since 2002... but hopefully Selby wins it and makes it a hattrick.

Selby is a better opponent than Ding would be I agree because of Ding's record v Higgins...

But still, Selby has got the better of Higgins in recent times and these next 2 days wont be any diferent.

I think its a coin flip no matter what the bookies say

Higgins loves the Selby match up and I think that will be a big factor.

I'm expecting a high quality affair with Higgins shading it
