Think Pink overall standings. A fine day for The_Abbott; Judd Trump and Scott Donaldson's wins push him five points clear of the field. A great day too for Alex0Paul, who moves up to fourth courtesy of Trump and Donaldson as well.

Get in Trump and Donal Scottson. I knew they would come through.

5 points clear

Will I now do a Newcastle Utd?

Will I finally get that elusive tournament win?

Think Pink overall standings. The_Abbott is top at Christmas on 111 points, three clear of Sundaygirl. Vodkadiet is bottom at Christmas on 40 points, 71 adrift, and as the old saying goes: "If you're bottom at Christmas, you're screwed."

Half way through - well done for continuing this Pink.

Still can't believe I have not won a tournament and I'm still ranked number 1. Oh yeh, I picked Neil Robertson. He'd be my first pick for the reject chair.

Very pleased with how this is going,
I’m an appalling front runner, to be top at this stage would be disastrous,
(I’m very much the Matthew Stevens of predicts)
In 2nd place I’m perfectly poised to pounce at the correct moment grrr

Big thanks to Pink for coming up with the concept and executing it so well.

Player-of-the-year standings after this afternoon's results. Ali Carter (3) and Neil Robertson (1) score for the first time this season, Scott Donaldson (6) jumps to 16th, while Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (7) extends his lead at the top.

Funkin yes. Teppy Lad replaces mum's favourite Mark Joyce finally at the top.

Have a feeling that my eponymous player may well be the weakest link...

European Masters standings after this afternoon's matches. Nobody had Ali Carter (3) on their team. The Abbott and Raphael 98 go top as they have Neil Robertson (1), Scott Donaldson (6) and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (35) on their team.
