Better than grey.

Too bright. Grey blends in better to the brackground.

Iranus right, grey is crap, blue is much nicer on the eye.

Red and blue are the ones I like the most.

Walden v Dott sounds it could be a good match. Been ages since Dott was on TV..

I've just watched some of Higgins match that was the worst i've seen him play for a while so many easy balls missed.

I am also for blue/red carpets.

My parents have gone in the other room to watch University Challenge. I didn't want to admit I wanted to see it, because of the pretty blonde bird from Corpus Christi college Oxford.

Robbo cueing well again, he showed some signs of it last week.

If he can find his game again, won't be too long before he wins another title. I've been ssaying since November he's one of the players I expect to have a deep run in Sheffield this year, Semis or better, especially after last years disappointment.

The bucking BBC buckets are back.

Bingham is worthy of the world title but those words were not.

Untidy play by Jimmy to be honest, Neil hasn't really had to work for his chances.

Robbo wins 4-1. Jimmy ran out of gas after the 2nd frame lol...

Dont think Day will win against Gilbert. Might even be an easy win for Dave, we'll see...

Now we get to hear the wit and wisdom of Colin Murray.

Yeah, he was in Preston last night. He'll be knackered.

Sad times when you're wishing it was Andy Goldstein in the studio.

Yeah. Murray really is that bad.

15-year-old Jackson Page looks older than me and I'm twice his age.
What is up with that?

Ian Burns is Ebdon with hair.

Yeah, good point. I was kinda expecting it and I remember when we were both writing about it. That Robbo could peak at the right time. Still too early to say obviously. He could start playing rubbish again at any minute but atm it looks like he's cueing well and his scoring power seems to be back.

He looks in better shape than Selby did for the last three tournaments or so and we know that Selby was flying until the end of last year. things can change so quickly.

Ryan Day from 2-0 down beats Dave Gilbert 4-3

Anthony Hamilton beat Luca Brecel 4-2 and the final frame says a lot for both players. You can understand why Hamilton had to wait until his 45 to win a title and why Luca will possibly must wait until then to make the same.

Ryan Day produced some breaks of high difficulty, especially in the decider. It was a big win for him after the bitter Preston loss.

Wow Dott won!

Preston Smeston.

Day after tomorrow....

I am once again really psyched up regarding Ronnie vs Tom Ford match. That is an all great match, and I wouldn´t state that for nothing. With just an any match. Tom´s a really great player. There are even rumours that he works for the Ladbrokes; he looks that much of an intelligence, nice and a solid guy. But the thing now is that Ronnie is a huge favourite to win this match. I can at least partly agree with that view. Even if and a very likely when Ronnie once again fails to find his top-game he still has a great chances now to produce his gritty plan B game. Where he hardly never loses the cue ball control, and he is even tempted to try the 147s. Which would cause even a great player like Tom Ford to shake a wee bit. Even when it is just a sprint match, race to 4, Ronnie will have enough time to find something if he is ever to find that something. Which my guess would be that B-game of his. He is not nicknamed and labelled as the Rocket for nothing. And Tom seems to be motoring with a diesel, so the sprint match suits to him also. He won´t have time to go out of his comfort zone. So yeah, if Ronnie finds even that B-game of his I can agree that he is a huge favourite to win the match. There has been even some hints that he could be discovering back that A-game of his also , but I am not a great believer of that. That gritty B-game of his is also a much, much better to watch. For the first time people seems to be admitting that some things regarding snooker are "completely his". While many other things are "completely theirs". So you figure. However. At least there won´t be any shortage of a funny humour.

The weather is also great. Perhaps that´s the one reason I am once again really up for this. It is a much about to choose not to challenge the status quo. Believing Tom Ford will be Tom Ford even today. And so on. At least it would be a perfect timing to trade some punches. Not some german type of philosophies which has been already covered enough many times..

I have the start of a sore throat. In Cardiff last year, I couldn't sleep last night with a massive sore throat.

Maybe I am allergic to the Welsh.

Oddly enough, so do I. The weather has been terrible here as of late, and I travel-to-and-fro my hometown to university most days, so catching colds is something i'm familiar with when i'm caught out in the wet weather.

On the carpet talk, I think the red carpet that they've used at the Worlds looks the best. It's just really appealing on the eye.

TWITTER ATTACK!
