Championship League Snooker Discussion 2010

[cue1]

Ali has played 3 lost 3 AGAIN!

Maybe, like last time he'll manage to get through to the play offs again?! (please!)

Maybe now that you're around we can cheer for him together

Come On Ali!!! :snooker:

I'm cheering for Mark J, as you're cheering for Ali, as they're our favourite players

But maybe we should focus on their chances of winning the world title, which will result in getting in Premier League as well

The world title is reserved for Mark Selby But I'm cheering for Mark J & Ali as well

[Mr P]

I am also cheering for Mark J. My second favourite player behind Selby.

Me cheers go to Allen and Fu

Well, apart from John Higgins, it's wide open

Sorry, John.. Nobody can defend it

Yep, I second that!

Definately! But like cue1 said, I'm greedy and have two favourite players! Mark's winning the WC so Ali will have to do his best in this!

Just wondering if theres a limit of number of groups played??
Carter is playing in 4th...but looks like this time hes out

in the first CL event in 2008 Carter played in all 7 groups as well as I remember he earned a lot of money then and lost only in the final group

[missneworleans]

Well, apart from John Higgins, it's wide open

Sorry, John.. Nobody can defend it

Im just wondering who will be the first man to defend it! and in which year?
Did we have a similar topic here on tsf??

Good to see Marco's hitting the ball well again, when he won Grand Prix back in 2007, he really impressed me, especially the way he played against Ronnie made me think deeply where he has been for so many seasons..

After two seasons passed, I found the answer : He hasn't got a B game to rely on and beat good players with..

2012 & 2013 Ding is my prediction on this one, but who knows.. That is a tough quest for anyone..

hmm, I am sure the world championship title actually has been defended on numerous occasions, just maybe not in this decade (which apparently is over now, depending on when you start it )... and not first time champions at Crucible.

But that was performance from another world!
I wonder If he can keep it up

2004 - O'Sullivan
2005 - Murphy
2006 - Dott
