World Darts Championship

[Mendoza]

[The Golden Eel]

Wade/Wright could be close, Wright to sneak through.

 

Anderson comfortable win over Chisnall.

 

MVG comfortable win over Gurney.

 

Barney to sneak a tight one v Taylor.

 

Would be my guesses.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Q/F's is over 9 sets, think the longer format will suit Taylor more than RVB, should be a cracker. 

[Joe Strummer]

Apart from that epic final back in 2007, Barney's record v Taylor is awful and he usually bottles it.

I think Barney has a better record against Taylor than everyone else as far as I can remember though.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It's like two old boxers getting it on. Both are still capable of winning the title mind, but can they keep up the averages in the latter stages of things over a longer set format? Results over the last few years would suggest otherwise. 

[KMD7]

I think Taylor will win. He's playing at a higher standard than Barney all year although granted he's not as good as he was. Wouldn't rule Barney out though. Looking forward to it

[Byrnie]

I don't think so mate. He went years without beating him after the 07 final.

[Byrnie]

He beat Taylor in 2008 Uk open

2014 Premier League, 2016 Premier league.

 

That's 10 years on the TV. Pretty grim for Barney.

 

He needs a performance like he pulled out vs MVG last season?

[KMD7]

I don't think so mate. He went years without beating him after the 07 final.

I'm sure I heard it spoken about on TV before mate. In fairness no one was beating Taylor back then. I know Taylor has a huge win ratio against everyone including Barney, but compared to just about everyone else bar maybe MVG I think Barney holds the most wins against Taylor.

[KMD7]

Should be a cracking day's darts today.

[Kloppite]

Fucking darts fans are even worse than modern football fans.

Indeed, already underway as Wade pinches the first set. 

[Kloppite]

Why didn't the 2 players kick off when the crowd started making a racket when they needed to concentrate or is it like when fans boo and whistle when an opposition player is about to take a penalty.

[KMD7]

Indeed, already underway as Wade pinches the first set.

Both showing nerves so far. Good comeback form Wright to take the second

Yeah, you feel Wright can up his game more than Wade though. Looking good for 2-1 in sets to Wright now. 

[Guest]

Just tuned in to a 155 checkout. Wow.

[KMD7]

What the fuck is happening to Wade? 2 successive outshots of 144 and 155 to snatch the set. Brilliant finishing

[Guest Pistonbroke]

That was some 155 checkout by Wade to pinch another set, similar pattern to the first. Wright is struggling on his doubles. Wade is a cunt, If I had laid money on him he'd have gone out in the opening rounds. 

[Kloppite]

Just put a £5 bet on Peter Write; have I wasted my money?

Never heard of the cunt.

Ha ha that's so true that

[Kloppite]

Never heard of the cunt.

Fucking autocorrect Peter Wright.

 

To win the entire competition.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ha ha that's so true that

 

Wade's odds were 18/1 pre tournament.
