Feck me, Noppy, did you kill a cat on your way to the venue?!?

OMFG

By:
Don't think I've ever seen Selby do that

By:
This is painful

By:
Go on, Noppy. Everything went wrong there, and you're still in it, Desmond!

I'll be surprised if Selby wins any more big titles. Game's moved on. You can't be so defensive anymore because all the top players can make a pot from almost anywhere
|
|
By:
So far this season Selby has played some appalling matches and this is another. He starts off matches attacking and then retreats into defensive mode when he gets a lead and then gets reeled back in by attacking players willing to take a chance

That shot shows what I mean. Cue ball on cushion but that's not such a big deal anymore. Noppon missed this time but he won't miss everytime
|
|
By:
Tactically he's better than Noppon but he's lost the two tight frames where safety was the clincher. If he's not winning those frames then he's in trouble against anyone
|
|
By:
Noppon deserves this for going for his shots
|
|
By:
Commentator's do my brain in talking about how you've got to play well to beat Selby. Noppon's pot success is nowhere near high enough to say he's 'winning' this. Selby is 'losing' it with poor safety.

Shame. Much more interesting day yesterday/today, anyway. Hopefully more of the same tomorrow.

Mildly surprising stat of the day©, Ding v Luca h2h (all formats) is 8:0 to Ding.

By:
3 of the ones I count have gone to Ws, too.
Thought it was a potentially interesting match (he's not be as awful as usual the last few weeks), and if Page was a bit brighter I think he should have run Ding close yesterday. Not one I shall be involving myself pre-off, but interesting, for sure. Xiao v Mags is similarly interesting for the same reasons. Mags played some good stuff at times yesterday, contrary to the $hite he's been serving up for the last few seasons, so maybe the new coach is starting to have an impact. I have Noppy as a v slight fav over Ali (even before the 2-0 H2H), on the numbers, Jack's fav v Tubbs, but I'm put off by the mind hold he seemed to have over him at York. I know Tommy Ford won the $hit-out, but his numbers were still rubbish v Robbo, and as Tobias will tell you, that he progressed was possibly as much about Robbo as anything else. Long is well ahead on all of my metrics for the season. And I have Wu as a marginal fav over Baz. Should be an interesting day. |
