Who will win this years World Championship ?

First topic message reminder :

Who's your favourite for this years title ?

One of the seeds ? Or will it be a qualifier ?

Funny how its a fluke when someone else pots a ball like that but when Ronnie does it was class

Robbo is having a funny old frame here

That table looks shocking.

Unlucky/careless with the in/off.

Careless in off.

Great minds

Robbo goes back into the lead 4-3.

Ronnie may need two snookers but this frame is not over.

Should be now though

Sign of a "new" Ronnie or desperation? He's mostly getting in because of Robbo's mistakes. 94% pot success for Robbo. Very good. Come on Neil!

How did that not go in?

Neil is playing well but making a few silly mistakes.

Ronnie will want to get out of this 4-4

What a pot Ronnie

God Taylor gets on my nerves.

'The best pot of the World Championships'

It was a cracker but i thought that Trumps was better.

Thought Neil was just starting to crank up the pressure but that pot was special.

Do you get the BBC commentary on Eurosport?

Table abuse! Fine him a fram

Got the BBC on here, we get it in Holland.

If Ronnie looses this frame he will be gutted

Should be 4-4 but that is a bad miss by Ronnie.

What happens if it's a tie frame?

Ronnie will be gutted if he loses this frame.

The black ball gets re-spotted.

Wow Robbo got a lucky break there

Come on Big Robbo!!!

It's in!!!!!!!!! Best potter in the game?

Thats going to hurt Ronnie.

I hope so. Well played by Robbo. Where's gboycott?

BBC keep focusing on ronnies face as if hes going to break down on live tv.

That frame perferctly sums up why Ronnie has not won as much as he could have in the sport. Robbo leads 5-3.

If you get on top of Ronnie, he will feel the pressure. Its a shame for Robbo that Ronnie has some time to recover. If this continued then Robbo could make Ronnie pay.

Come on Hendry!

Hendy will bow out very quickly i feel.

I imagine so too but I hold out in hope for 8th title.

What did I say about 13-2?

It depends really, if Hendry can win the first session 3-1 then he is slightly back in it and Maguire might start to feel the pressure.
That said, Maguire has been playing very well so it will take some effort for Hendry to do that.

Can't see anyway back for Hendry. He would have to win the session 6-2 to stay afloat in my opinion. Can't see it happening.

Sadly, nor can i but i can hope

Yes we can always hope. Just out of interest how does this little run help him in the rankings?

He gon' get it! Will be watching Day v Stevens. Wish they could both go through.

Maguire v Hendry... I think Stephen will win.

I agree.

I also think Stephen will lose though

I don't know what it is but I just get the impression Maguire just lacks that extra something to win the world title. Playing excellently so far though.

Mental strength. He really has a go at himself when he's not doing well. Like Andy Murray I suppose.

Hendry will get another 147 and go on to win the match

More like he beats himself up when he doesn't acheive what he knows he can. Wouldn't say he is mentally weak more that he mentally beats himself up which doesn't help him.

Yeah, he's not mentally weak unlike SOME snooker players but he really has a go at himself.

Good pot on a rather "smelly brown" by Matthew.

He is looking excellent tonight. He is not giving Hendry a look in.

Is Ryan Day drinking Irn Bru?

Maguire certainly on fire and leads 9-1.

It will be over with a session to spare.

"Crazy predictions" eh?

Ryan still leading 5-4 but Matthew has started brightly.

Seems to be a lot kicks this year.

Any predictions as to how much Ronnie will squash Robbo?

Ronnie will produce the devastating display of potting and break-building he produced V Mark Williams in the second session on Sunday afternoon to reel off 9 frames in a row V Neil Robertson tomorrow and more or less win him the match.
