Mr jackson u really seriously make me laugh total disrespect i am a lil bit baff...... I love the way u discount us from everything...... U fail to realise that we are above u in the league we are looking good for runners up after beating the prop ( no disrespect to the prop ) they have a harder running than us thats all i am joint with mev in divisonal singles we are still in league cup and for ur comments i am go say we will finish above u and win our group! U seriously under estimate us! Wen u havent even beat us! Get facts right mate b4 u make statements honestly u are a great player but ur old now maybe thats ur prob u past it oh well it happens yessssssssssss the halfs

lol so subtle in your digs mr jackson...

singles final mev to win 3-2
ladies final katie to win 3-1
league the eagles (its already over)
league cup eagles obviously favourites( but anyone from top 5 in div 1 inc the better halves as anyone can beat anyone if its there day)
div 1 rankings john little or ricky cook
overall rankings mev ali.

jacko to finish outside top 16 as hes getting old.:D:

Not a bad thread to have.... Offers up some genuine debate, and everyone's opinion will vary so makes an interesting read.

Mine for what they're worth:
League - Eagles

League Cup - Minefield.
I'm personally looking no further than the Quarter finals at this stage. If form continues through the secong group stage, we play either the Unpredictables, or The Better Halfs. Either of the two will provide great oppo, and should mean a great match. Whoever wins that match, will take some stopping.
I expect the Semi's will look like this:
Unpreds / Bett Halfs vs. The Cuemasters
The Prop vs. Eagles / Unpreds / Bett Halfs
Take your pick....

Divisionals: Mr. Special K himself. Already one clear, and with the confidence I've seen in his recent frames, don't expect him to lose more than one, which means all others have to lose none.

Rankings: Mev Ali. Regardless of the result in tonights match, I expect the great man to maintain his healthy margin at the top and see thos out comfortably. And well deserved too.

Ladies - Katie. Class player full stop. Let alone for a woman.

And the big one tonight:
Metin Tomris.
Play with this guy every week, and his ability never ceases to amaze me. Has had a brilliant run in the singles, which I think will culminate in tonights showpiece for all his hard work.
Mev is a legend, and it is with no disrespect intended, but I fancy Met for this one.
Reagrdless.... It's two of the best players in the league, both bang in form, going head to head. Should be a brilliant game for the neutral, and (Cliche alert, Cliche alert) Pool is the real winner.
If you're free, match is at Frith about 8:15 / 8:30 ish. I believe they're playing it best of 9, so first to 5 frames.

Dan ur now level with myself and mev after i bent u over and taught u a pool lesson last tuesday. Dont think Jacko is being disrespectful,he knows the score with this league. As for the Better Halfs,a fantastic season so far(and without Rod)but dont get carried away boys. League cup in latter stages is over a longer distance so u would fancy Eagles Prop,Unpredictables or Cuemasters.
Rankings. Mev without a doubt,God help us all if Croydons No 1 nicks it,
League, Eagles Zzzzzzz
Runners up,Prop
Div Singles; One of 8 players.
Singles Mev all round game fanastic, Met is a one trick pony ha ha(anytime no2 turk before u start)
Ladies singles,Katie(dont know why the others enter)
If ive left anyone out i apologise,nah not really couldn't give a toss.

really jason you talking to neil like his stupid, now thats a bit mean! you do know his mum's dead! anyway yes the veiw did get a 7-3 bye but misfits get a 10-0 bye so that would mean 5 point gap and both teams meeting next so lets get the calculator out

misfits 10-0 another view (misfits 5 points clear of another view)
misfits 9-1 another view (misfits 3 points clear of another view)
misfits 8-2 another view (misfits 1 point clear of another view)
misfits 7-3 another view (misfits 1 point behind another view )
misfits 6-4 another view (misfits 3 points behind another view)

so if misfits win on tuesday would you still write us of for 2nd?
oh dont forget view have rack'em up game after and before you mention we have you at the end dont think you will get a lucky result like last time as we both know a draw was not a fair result for us that night but dont worry cause if we win,draw or lose we will just slag off the table!

ps. neil hall = numpty lol (a nice simple one for a simple person!)

Referring to neil and special k's predictions on div 4....neil, have you looked at the table???

another view are 8 points ahead of misfits before tonite's games, and they had a 7-3 average win bye...I think special k is more likely to be right...:nerner:

jason i told you the misfits would get that second place so i was right yet again and you and danny were wrong,

and if they beat you 10 0 tomorrow they will take your title away from under your noses but hopefully you guys wont blow it at the last hurdle good luck mate

I think it's worth saying that mr k has made his mark in Croydonpool playing off no 1 and almost winning the div singles :clap:
Then Neil I think u mite be right u did smash mr k up in the singles but then when u had me u lost your bottle and couldn't rearrange a match because u were going to the beach to play volley ball .... Yet wait u were at the Farley the following week as Cathy from the small pots was away and decided to play your secs match when she returned .... That's just plain chicken to me o well least your get rumped in div 2 :o

Neil....I never said I was guaranteed to be right....I just said more likely...see above...no-one would have predicted the blow up from the view....they took 5 frames from 2 matches....had they continued in the form they had previously displayed it would have been a far closer thing....and as for tonight....we won the first frame, so job done early doors....party time followed...

For once I think tony Jackson is right if u finish in the top 10 of the rankings then u should automatically play for Croydon a top 20 Croydon b this gives players that have not been given a fair crack at it too ... And that's how the teams should be picked each year will plays in a and b set up to the mark ????? If players that do and don't want to play then it's down to the captain of each team to least do a trial or pick a player !!!

disagree completely,to represent Croydon you need the best players ability wise,this is judged by the trials and the Croydon team captain (who knows more about pool than any of us ever will).two reasons why I say this, 1, rankings throw up freak results,as some top players who want to play for Croydon don't enter the singles and doubles,and some players who are carried in the doubles and get lucky in the singles,with people not turning up etc,manage to get into the top 20 rankings with our flawed ranking system. 2 in my experience some people who have been choosen for Croydon over the last 30 years,are unreliable and let the team down month after month,For this reasons I think the Croydon team manager should be given as much power as he wants, as ultimately he wants the best for Croydon as a whole.

Balman, I think jacko was basically saying that the top 10 was not a true reflection of the top 10 players in Croydon and never will until the top league gets the bigger points bonus for winning games as its harder to win frames in div 1 than div 3!
If the top 10 players in Croydon represented a team we would get smashed simple,
Eg a player like Neil has won lots of games against no 1 special all season gets 2nd in rankings and gets in a team (hahahhahahaha) would get found out as he cannot compete at that level. Yes he is good for div 3 but would get ruined at interleague level as its a different league to what he is used to. Until he or any other player in top 20 proves themselves at top level then they cannot and should not b considered for a/b team. Having said that it's down to el capitan!!!!
