Exactly. Sit back and enjoy Gridlock, this one is going to be ace.

+1

Can’t wait.

I desperately tried to not find out who had won in the Willo match so I could watch it back late last night but I couldn’t find it online and then I saw a small clip of him potting that pink and black so that blew it.

So happy that it’s those two though. Wow.

Anyway, I will take a couple of gels with me in case I crash mid session.

Haha bullocks mate go for the full English. Grilled instead of fried. That will set you up nicely.

It's 26 years since these guys turned pro, you'd have expected some development in the sport in that time with new players coming on. Kyren Wilson got to the semi-finals, Judd to the semis but both are in their late 20s.

There's no clear new generation emerging.

The Food Police are up early. He ate a kebab n chips? Big deal. After the game he went through he deserved anything he liked. Bit of grub would do him no harm. Not like he was out gettin snake hissed or bangin a few lines up the gonzo. Foody Drama Queen!!

I prefer the semi-casual.

Most of the young guys are boring and don't have what it takes to perform like the Class of 92 under pressure. This is the final i've wanted and hoped for since day 1. Usually we never get the best match-ups in world championship's finals - we've never seen a Hendry - Ronnie, Hendry - Davis, Ronnie - Williams, Higgins - Hendry or Ronnie - Davis final, but this time we have two legends in it. Can't wait!

I think Williams will win, because he usually plays very well against John. Mark has troubles against players who can overpower him with long potting and big breaks, but Higgins loves to wait for the mistake, so this will be in MJW's favour - he can use his craftiness in the game. Hope he's not so tired today and starts the match well!
