That's why I'd love for him to win  ...chaos, headlines and all that, no interest for me otherwise  ;D

Finally someone punishes Higgins and doesn't let him get away with murder in a session in which they dominated.
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Judd's done it though! Huge frame. 10-7 overnight.

Fantastic stuff from Trump once more. He's two good sessions (or one amazing dession ;)) away from being the 2nd youngest champion ever.

Nice one! rolling in the Bengies :thumbup

when they were 4-4 trump was at 2.57/1 and i went for that. For a world final, which when tight is essientally a 50/50 and thats a massive price, still at 1.5 i think
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart.. This is amazing.. a night that they will never forget

The crowd love an underdog. They want a Trump win.

Anyway, back to 10-8. Higgins took the first frame today.

EDIT: Trump takes the next one. 11-8.

How many more frames this afternoon?
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

4 I think.
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.

Huge frame. Trump could've stolen it but was very unlucky to miss the blue. Higgins takes it, the see-saw pattern keeps on going. 12-10.

Trump missing too many shots now. He can't afford to be as carefree today I'm afraid. Higgins will eat up mistakes like that.

Trump needs to relax, get his focus back and not concentrate on the score, just focus on potting the balls and get into his rhythm.

Higgins wins four in a row to lead 13-12 going into the final session at 7pm tonight.

It's going to be very difficult for Trump now, but he just needs to make sure that he doesn't get left behind. If he loses three out of the first four in the opening mini-session tonight then it's all over I'd say, as that would make it 16-13 (or worse).

Trump is bottling it, isn't stepping up to the pressure.

I don't think he's bottling it at all, he's just not thinking. Trying far too hard to get in and clear up all the time, rather than picking his shots better. Missed the blue in one frame when a safety would have been the better choice, Higgins left on the reds and cleared up. Missed the brown because he was trying to put so much side on it to come down for the reds, Higgins left on the reds and cleared up. Then took the black on with so much power that the cue ball ended up miles away from the pack, Higgins cleared up.

He's been doing it all week and getting away with it, so he obviously thinks he should carry on that way. But this is the final, and trying to make every single shot rather than being a little more clever about it is going to put him right up against it. Higgins won't believe how easy that last session was, and you can guarantee he'll be hoping Trump carries on trying to pot everything from any angle he can.
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.
