    Adams can't hit a double to save his life.

    Nixon 2-0 up to make it 6 all.

    Congatulations to Adams. It has been a long time coming for him and im happy he finally won the World Title.

    You have to hand it to Nixon though for showing tremendous spirit to fight back the way he did.

    How much you lose out on fade2black?

    I'm happy for Adams. He's been so close so many times. Delighted he finally won it.

    @cast iron... about 60 quid :D

    Fair play to Nixon for the comeback but after hearing that Adams had sold his house in pursuit of his darts dream I think he deserves the victory.

    Didn't have you down as an after timer healio...I thought you backed Van Gerwin...or was it Veitch...

    EDIT: I see from the gambling forum you backed Adams as well in a straight win bet.

    Well done.

    A very interesting final, indeed.

    Even though he lost, Nixon deserved a lot of credit. To fight back from 6-0 down to 6-6, in itself, was amazing. I sort of felt though that he could "trip up" in the last leg as he would become as nervous as Adams.

    If Nixon had played like that from the start, he very well could have won - although it would have been a totally different final then.

    With the newest 3 players going to the PDC Adams is probably favourite to win it again next year (although I would assume that Mervyn King - if he's still there - will want to win it off his "best man")

    i really didnt want adams to win, i hate his game. Was SCREAMIN at the telly for nixy to pull his socks up, and it started happenin when i got horse. Spectacular game, the standard was off, even i could have taken em! Im sure the average for adams in the last 6 was 80 or something silly like that.

    Never the less great game, nixy won imo
