oh golly, what have the men been drinking this week.
I know, it's been pretty dreadul - 10 of our top 20 men were in action this week and 7 of them, all except Muzza who still might, Boggo and Morgan, have lost to lower-ranked players. (obviously there are good reasons for a couple of those results, but overall that's a shocking stat!)

Great stuff from Morgan! He & yet another Gonzo appear to be pretty much of a muchness as far as rankings go (768 vs 763), so a reasonable chance, I'd have thought. Hope that's not the kiss of death...
Great week so far for Morgan and hopefully he can make it back to back finals to continue the great few weeks he's been having.
Think he's got a pretty decent chance tomorrow as even though it is close rankings-wise, with a full season under his belt, Morgan would be at least top 500, so he's probably got a decent shot against him.

I'd love Morgan to achieve good things, I think he has self-belief. A real shame about his injury. He's 25 now and on 42 points (thanks Steven for your top 25 page). Can he still get into the world top 200? Can he go even higher than that?
He certainly seems to be in good form at the moment and taking full advantage of any good draws he gets and even the odd not so good one. He'll be on 42 points next Monday like you say, but the 7 points from next week will get added the following Monday, so he'll then have 49 with nothing to defend until February.

Well done Morgan....dont we have a nick-name for this guy yet ?
Anyway....great chance for a final appearance !
I dont understand why he has to have a nickname! In my opinion this board has deteriorated recently since so many have a nickname many of which have no obvious connection with the player, making some threads difficult to follow. Surely it is easier to use the real name (first name or surname) or general nickname eg. Boggo and Bloomers which are easily recognised.
