May as well talk about horseracing I'm hitting a brick wall: Warney's tea boys. Will miss the jumpers. Back proper late October. Look forward to it as always.
It'll be as quiet as Sloane Square in Summer on this board in the next few weeks. Most of the residents move out for the duration. The air quality isn't very good in Central London during the Summer months. Anyway that's a conversation for another time.
So long for now.
Ding Junhui to spring a surprise. He's had a sketchy career. When he's good he's very, very good...…….
The Dragon is now in to 12/1 from 50/1. 12/1 is not a realistic price so early on in the World Championship. Is it something that I've posted up on here?
Trump through just. Hope that's blown the cobwebs away. Ding next. Trump will always be my tip to be world champion while he's good enough which he is at the moment.
Watched quite abit of it. Top half of the draw expecting Hawkins v Robertson semi final. Bottom half Selby doesn't look the same player. Was impressed with Zhou, going for him v Trump semi final from that half of the draw.
Blimey, crikey, Neil Robertson beats Shaun Murphy 13-6 and eases through to the next round! Robertson is in the ascendancy. He makes my tip, Ding look quite ordinary.
I've got to get one tip right. Judd Trump will have too much for Ding. But he's got to be focused. Know what makes me think Judd can reach the final. John Higgins is in the other side of the draw. HIggins he's had the upper hand over Judd at the crucible
Higgins is a course and distance winner. Trump could upset the formbook. Ding The Dragon could be the dark horse. I'm probably edging my bets with a punt on Ding.
Judd Trump leads 5 frames to 3 against Ding Junhui. Trump has been dominating the earlier part of the match. Ding has now settled into a rhythm. All to play for at the Crucible.
Not watched any, won't today either. Judd he's won 3 tournaments this season. If he gets past the 1st round in any he usually goes deep into them. Looking at the draw I'll be dissapointed if he doesn't get into the final.
Judd Trump leading 7-1 in his quarter final. Can't see how he can't fail to get to the final. Other half of the draw harder to predict. Don't like John Higgins chances but he's dogged. Robertson leading 4-2 against Higgins. Wilson & Gilbert both capable. I can't call it.
