| The final |
IMHO it doesnt matter if carter/perry wins as sully is going to beat them and sully will win the title . For its probably safe to say that carter/perry will get the usual first time stage fright by getting to the final - while sully has seen and done it many times before . Much like most modern day F1 races have been little more than a procession for the last 10 years - then this final can only be a yawn worthy event - no matter how much the studio and the commentators *try* to hype it up . If you dont agree with that - then fine . But lets be honest and say when was the last time you watched a carter and/or perry match that envoked any passion or any thrills when they played ? . That in turn of course means that all through the final you can expect parrot to spout the most amount of verbal drivel diarrhea it will have ever been you misfortune to hear no matter how long you have lived on planet earth for . |

Parrott is OK, it's Thorne that's the bullshit merchant. You've obviously never heard Tony Blair speak, have you? :) |

I recommend that AC brings his favorite dressing gown, slippers and an ottoman so he can enjoy watching RO from the comfort of his seat. OTOH, RO can also self-destruct big-time, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. JP never has anything interesting to say. Mr Dull thy name be Parrott. |

After RO has built up a 5 or 6 frame lead this final will quickly turn into an exhibition match. Watch RO go for plenty of 147's. Bottom line?

He's played consistently just-about-well-enough this tournament, but he has a lot of potential. He needs to sharpen up his safety if he's to stand a chance. Let's not forget that Ronnie is human and not a computerised mechanical potting machine, he's broken down in finals before now (vs. Fu last year springs to mind). > Or is he the type of player to give his opponent far too many chances . On the basis of the semi-final, yes. Unfortunately. I'd like to see him do well, but it does seem like a bit of a foregone conclusion. My prediction is 18-8 to RO'S. |

125-1? I'll lay even money that those odds are dramatically reduced after the first session. "Anton G˙sen" <anton@invalid.invalid > wrote in message news:fvk5hh$uu2$2@registered.motzarella.org... > Grumpy wrote: > >> Bottom line? RO 18-2 > > You should put money on it at 125-1. |
