Who will win the 2008 world championship?

[crucible77]

I thought i would post a poll to see who you people think will win this years world championship.
I fancy Mark Selby to be in with a big shout and Neil Robertson
I also think Stephen Maguire is on top form so he has a chance.

Bosses set for showdown

The final will be O'Sullivan v King or Selby. I wouldn't like to choose who wins. The snooker gods will decide as only they are more powerful than The Boss.

:snooker:

I'm going for Stephen Maguire to lift the trophy this year

[jaguarf1]

I choose "Other". I think Fu is a pretty good candidate for this trophy.

[MasseMaster]

I also think Fu has a very good chance

:snooker:

Are you King's mother or something like that ? Selby will crush him.... and the " Romford crap ", or something like that will go home quietly.....If Mark King will ever make a world semi-final that will be the biggest blow in the snooker world, imo.

I think it's Maguire's time! He's on great form and deserves win!:snooker:

Remember last year. Who won China Open & who lost in World Champs 1st round.

I voted other. I think Fu will be the new champion.

[The Boss]

O'Sullivan and King fired up for classic

I reiterate: The final will be O'Sullivan v King or Selby. Whoever wins that first round match will make the final from the bottom half of the draw. I can't foresee many difficulties for Ronnie in the top half. It's his best draw since he last won the title and he should make his third final. A showdown between him and King in a major final would be HUGE. The best final ever, bar none.

the world snooker champion this year will be either

Neil Robertson or Matthew Stevens

[kellie-text]

If i have to stick my neck out, i'll just go for Maguire. Possibly Murphy though!

[moza90]

Gotta be Selby for me ... he's in top gear at the moment.

With two tourno wins under his belt he's my favourite for the championship.

[wildJONESEYE]

im taking an educated guess.......did superaussie by any chance vote for Neil Robertson mmmmmmmmmm ???????????????? lol

I think its the moment of truth for Selby. Next to Ronnie he has the most pressure of expectation.
Sure he has the class, but can he handle the really big time, he got to the final last year but was the pressure really on him?
People say he is a great pressure player, well now we will really find out because this is where it counts.
I just dont know about this guy, Ive watched all his matches this year and counted the pressure pots, in my opinion he gets about 50% no more, Davis ran at about 70% and Hendry probably 85% and thats where its at if you want to be a great great player.
I hope he comes through because its great to see a player bring back a little thought to the game.
In the uk deciding frame he worked a fantastic chance but missed the pot by a mile and in doing so split the pack and it cost him dear.
I dont think a youthful Hendry or Davis would have missed that pot or any of the ones he missed in the previous frames to put Ronnie to bed.
This is the biggy. Of all the players playing this is his moment of truth.
Can he really handle it? I just dont know and this is what fascinates me so much.
