Hmm, but wanting Stephen Lee to lose would mean wanting Crazy Eyes Edbon to win.
Alan McManus should have "nearly man" on his waistcoat. Umpteen years in the top 16 despite being Not Very Good.

Yeah, but I really, really don't like Stephen Lee very much. I'm not quite sure why, he just seems like such a stunningly joyless man. This impression may have been augmented by the 'Stephen Lee Snooker Skills Challenge' video on the BBC website, though.

This is pissing me off! I want to watch this! How do they determine UK users, by IP address?

John Virgo just said that McManus has potted 26 out of 26 rest shots so far, which is very impressive. McManus 11-11 Doherty, Higgins 4-4 Murphy.

some good matches so far but nothing quite close enough to the drama of ronnie vs maguire in the first round...

Ronnie O'Sullivan - Peter EbdonShaun Murphy - Steve DavisStephen Hendry - Matthew StevensAlan McManus - Ian McCulloch
You suspect it's gonna be a Ronnie-Hendry final, but the way things have gone so far this does actually look a bit open...

I would love it if Steve Davis went all the way, but I've been eating red meat too and I'm not likely to; however, Shaun Murphy looks pretty handy too. Could be quite exciting.

hoping for a stevens-sullivan final: wouldn't know who I'd want to win if that happened.

Most of my heart is with Davis (for old times sake), but my head says O'Sullivan or Stevens.

but anyway, I thought the last frame of the mcculloch-stevens semi-final is a gd indication as to how the final might go. stevens playing tight and forcing his opponent into mistakes, with stevens potting the long red offered, and potting every single time. Murphy is a great potter but his tactical game isn't quite good enough right now. Stevens has been a great match player and as long as his nerve holds he'll win.
