thanks john

hopefully ebdon gets a good draw, he has been getting loads of stick this year with the wenbo fix comments.

hope he can shut them all up and take this, no reason why he cant.

Before the evening session.

"If I play like that, my only hope is that someone somehow slips Thorne's name in that hat and I draw him".
Gotta love Mark Williams

That's the same joke he made after World Qualifiers last year He also added he will be unlucky and will draw Ronnie again

P.S He drew Stephen Hendry after this joke, so if history repeats he will draw another former champion, my prediction is Ebdon..

Would WT stand any chance if he played like that

[MalJackson]

King vs Milkins is an interesting one

still dont know how walden didnt make it through

There's a lot of talk about John Higgins, but Peter Ebdon could turn out to be the dark horse in this year's Grand Prix. He may not be setting the world alight with the way he's played so far but invariably he becomes stronger as he progressess further into a tournament.

He's due a good run soon and this could be the tournament he does it in..

It has been a while since I have watched him as I only prefer watching Peter in the latter stages of the tournaments, cause it's a bit boring to get into a tactical play with a qualifier instead of a champion.. Of course, this is a generalization which always does not come true. If he draws Ken next tournament in the last 32, that will be a match I will enjoy..

exactly spike

didnt ebdon recently bt higgins in the final of a big asian tournament?

about a year ago?

10-9

all the big players will want to avoid him, he struggles more against the young players.

hopefully he doesnt get someone like allen.

a draw against someone like perry or williams and would fancy him big time.

i love the way ebdon use to wind up ronnie in the past.

so funny.

ahhh the good old times.

2005 WC springs to mind for one..

[MalJackson]

yeah that was a classic

another player ebdon use to love winding up was Tony drago

i remember when peter went to the toilet and took about 20 mins to come back,

tony wasnt having it!

lol
