Come on, Alan!

Just got back from seeing Alan beat that Rod Lawler - Alan looked positively speedy around the table compared to Lawler! Is he one of the slowest players ever??

How many matches does Alan have to win before he's back in the top 32? any ideas? will be tough against Maguire tomorrow but should be a good game.

Thought Bond was pretty good today - especially in the first few frames - got a bit scrappy after that. And Bingham finished off Delaney rather quickly.

looking at the global snooker centre provisional rankings- if he qualifies for Sheffield he should have done enough to stay in the worlds top 32-he will have another 1650 points to add to his score !!!to go with the 825 points he automatically now gets by getting to the last 32 here !!!!

so the fact he is already out of the china open shouldnt have any bearing on things

just hope Wattana wins tonight as that should guarantee his participation in the worlds top 32 next season !!
