What worries me more is the amount of negative energy wasted by people on here spouting such vitriol at a player they have never met and in any case, is just a snooker player, were not talking about Adoldf Hitler or Ian Huntley, here!!!<br /><br />Also, I may as get this prediction out of the way now, as we could do without another disagreement about whether I am in unrequited love with O'Sullivan. <br /><br />I am tipping O'Sullivan to win the Masters, this is in part to his sensational record at Wembley, where he has featured in every final, bar one, since 2004 and also he usually has tendency to find some of his best snooker when people are writing him off and slagging him off, as is happening recently.<br /><br />In 2007, following his walk-out against Stephen Hendry at the UK Championship, he came back the following month to win at Wembley, playing some outrageously high standard snooker against Ding Junhui in the final.<br /><br />I sense something similar in the offing this January, particularly as a number of his key rivals have poor Wembley records.<br /><br />John Higgins, who despite winning the event twice, has generally struggled to make an impact since 2006 and Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson, Stephen Maguire have all failed to make the final in quite a few visits.<br /><br />Mark Selby represents the real danger again, owing to a fantastic record in the event and a favourable draw.<br /><br />I have tipped the winner of both the UK and World Championship this year, so would like to make it a treble of 'Big 3' events.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-27909812030617585662010-12-16T16:07:53.494+00:002010-12-16T16:07:53.494+00:00Brannon - your beloved ROS wasn't a good front...Brannon - your beloved ROS wasn't a good front runner when Ebbo "done him" at Sheffield a few years ago from 2-8 and 6-10.

I have never known such over reaction in the recency of an event than that, especially from someone who is generally a shrewd observer.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-63153052777151888682010-12-14T22:21:08.622+00:002010-12-14T22:21:08.622+00:00Jamie ) We take your 'opinions' with a pin...Jamie ) We take your 'opinions' with a pinch of lopsided salt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-18512683154414609762010-12-14T21:11:04.778+00:002010-12-14T21:11:04.778+00:00recent Hendry-White clash. not in terms of quality...recent Hendry-White clash. not in terms of quality, just for the sake of hendry playing white on tv again plus there was a bit of old magic in the deciderUrindragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-9758527514952444202010-12-14T20:04:01.669+00:002010-12-14T20:04:01.669+00:00Brannon don't like it because his mate Ronnie ...Brannon don't like it because his mate Ronnie hasn't got the stomach for the battle like Higgins and Williams have in abundance.<br /><br />Ronnie only comfortable if he's 5 or 6 frames ahead of his opponent.<br /><br />Any closer and a comeback is always possible from any number of players against Ron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-7953818216642344282010-12-14T16:56:01.469+00:002010-12-14T16:56:01.469+00:001st and second best match had ronnie in it
