13-1 Magurie Day head to head, thats quite a shock.
Know there is a lot of CL in there, but still you'd expect him to win a couple of best of fives.

Oh dear, the BBC doing their thing again. Don't expect play to start until around 10.30 at this rate.

Ronnies attitude is commendable, he's focusing on all the right aspects of the game, he's not pressurising himself to break any records, which is exactly the attitude you need to do exactly that.
It will take a tough nut to crack him this year.

He's definitely gunning for Hendry's World titles record.

Don't criticise them, they spent big on that intro. Hazel's 10 second dull intro was priceless. Next year, I've heard they're gonna put a flannel on a stick and overdub using the Moomins.

Is there a 'mute the commentator button'? It is needed with the likes of Taylor and Parrott.

Red looks far too severe, 888 green was best.

Growing up, I always associated Red with the World Championship, Yellow with the Masters and Blue with the UK.

Doesn't look as nervous as Campbell was last year at least.
