A lot of semi final action from those guys in the last two years at the crucible.[/quote]

There's been a lot of final action from some bloke called Ronnie in the last two years but apparently he can't win it! I don't remember those four making a World Final recently for some reason but they will win it apparently!

Total loss of logic with this vodka thing. His logic really boils down to I don't like Ronnie so I've bet against him. Comedy. Despite that other greats have done three in a row. But Ronnie will bottle it of course, like last year and the year when he took a whole season off...

Not really, because I didn't say Ronnie wouldn't or would win it. My mind is still open on that one. I cannot see a convincing argument nor any logic in your prediction though. You can't call it and simply list a group of players who haven won it twice between them all, the same as Ronnie has won it over the last two years. And these guys haven't made a final in how long? There's more chance of these guys bottling it than Ronnie if form at the Worlds over the last two years is anything to go by. I haven't put money on Ronnie because the odds are too low but I won't bet against him either because we all know he's flippin brilliant and we know he's in terrific form as well. I'm no fool either way, unlike you!

How can his chances have been hugely overrated when he has won it two years in a row and this year won the Masters, Welsh, and champion of champions?? He handles pressure better than any player I have seen apart from Higgins and Hendry.

There are plenty of reasons why he won't win it this year year but you are offering a very limited opinion of this. In fact you are talking rubbish


Rubbish that has earned me a lot of money over the years. Keep dangling the carrot boy. :-D


Al right mate I expected better on this website. bur alright carry on

If Hull wins against O'Sullivan this place will be devoid of half of its members. :-D

Maybe, you won't get rid of me though even if Ronnie loses 10-0 today so :wave:

I'll always be around, with Ronnie or no Ronnie :-D, because firstly I'm a fan of Snooker, Ronnie comes in 2nd place.

If Ronnie loses 0-10 I'll be in a state of shock and unable to contribute for around a year. :?

I know Foulds has made a case for Trump but I don't see that. To me it's between O'sullivan, Ding, Murphy, Hawkins, Robertson and Bingham

Yes...you are probably right. To be honest I love snooker but can't help falling on old habits and at this time of night I tend to get preoccupied with my back and my general viewpoint on life...hmm...

Ronnie opening up the WC for the second year in a row.

Say what you will about the man but that will boost viewings alone.

I don't know much about hull but I predict 10-2 win for o'sullivan.

GL Hull and Mags. May the best man win the others.

I don't think it will be a walkover. Most players open up slowly in the first round, nerves and all that. We rarely get players in top gear. They usually just want to get one on the board.

Good morning everyone, and welcome to Ronnie's backyard.

ROCKET!
