I haven't seen any of the Premier League yet this season so really looking forward to tonights darts.

Here is my predictions:
Raymond Barneveld 8 - 5 John Part
James Wade 8 - 6 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 8 - 4 Adrian Lewis
Wayne Mardle 8 - 5 Peter Manley

Would like to see Part win but he just doesn't play well enough in the Premier League and Barney will be too strong. Wade and Jenkins will be very close but I think that Wade has just that little bit more than Jenkins and will just nick it. Taylor has been on brilliant form in the last few weeks and Lewis never seems to play well against Taylor on the TV. Can see Taylor pulling away early. Mardle is on top form the last couple of weeks, he is hitting his doubles again. If he can hit them this week then he will beat Manley because Manley won't match Mardles scoring power.

mr.jingle

Barney 8-3 Part
Wade 8-4 Jenkins
Taylor 8-4 Lewis
Mardle 8-5 Manley

Taylor is playin so well at da mo another 9darter at da wknd in germany on his way to winnin da 2 pro tour events there an i jus dont see him losin again in this yrs league. Barney seems to have gone off the boil lately but should be too strong for part and the same can be said for jenkins if he gets a decent start he might do well but i just tink wade will have to many guns for him. Mardle seems to have got his driftin into the 5s in check an he shud be to good for manley

There has been a change in the schedule as Adrian Lewis is sick. These are the matches now scheduled for toinght. Terry Jenkins is playing twice this week with Lewis playing twice next week.

Terry Jenkins v James Wade
Raymond Barneveld v John Part
Wayne Mardle v Peter Manley
Phil Taylor v Terry Jenkins

Revised predictioins

James Wade 8-6 Terry Jenkins
Raymond Barneveld 7-7 John Part (probably Barneveld 8-4)
Wayne Mardle 7-7 Peter Manley
Phil Taylor 8-5 Terry Jenkins

NeoRox

James Wade 8-4 Terry Jenkins
Raymond Barneveld 8-6 John Part
Wayne Mardle 8-5 Peter Manley
Phil Taylor 7-7 Terry Jenkins

James Wade 8-4 Terry Jenkins, Wade played well deserved the win.

Raymond Barneveld 8-6 John Part, Should and could have been a draw this.

Wayne Mardle 8-5 Peter Manley, Another good win for Mardle, deserved it.

Phil Taylor 7-7 Terry Jenkins, didn't see much of this game, looked like Jenkins played alot better than his first match.

dubdarts

Mr Moon

I only saw the Wade - Lewis match.

Wade was unbelieveable and should've won 8-0!!

Started off with a 14 dart leg followed by a 10! :eek:

Nice picks, all close or spot on.
Manley and Mardle matches great calls.

Lewis was just 2 off in each match prediction.

Kingp35

Lewis didn't turn up at all last night. Taylor played very well but Lewis wasn't scoring as well as he usually does and that was the difference. Maybe he was still feeling the effects of the sick stomach he had.

Manley played well against Barney and deserved the win in the end. At 4-2 down I thought there was no way back for him but he fought back with some great darts and managed to win the match. With Manley winning it means that the League is so close again. Definitely the best Premier League so far.

Mardle is on a great run. His confidence is sky high and thats 4 wins on the trot now for him. I think he has shown the people who thought he shouldn't be in this League exactly why he was picked, on his day he can beat anyone. He is in 4th spot now and has a great chance of making the playoffs.

Wade was simply brilliant against Lewis, although didn't put up much of a fight. Wade for me is definitely up there with Taylor and Barney now and I think he can only get better. Lewis will have to do something special in the last few weeks to get through.

James Wade 8 v 4 Wayne Mardle
John Part 8 v 6 Adrian Lewis
Peter Manley 7 v 7 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 8 v 3 Raymond Barneveld

I'd say Barney is crapping himself with the thought of playing Taylor tonight.

Kingp35

James Wade 8-5 Wayne Mardle
Adrian Lewis 6-8 John Part
Peter Manley 6-8 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 8-5 Raymond Barneveld

Mr Moon

James Wade 8-6 Wayne Mardle
Adrian Lewis 4-8 John Part
Peter Manley 3-8 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 5-8 Raymond Barneveld

I think Barney will beat Phil tonight, he always ups his game for Taylor and although he hasn't been playing well lately tonight he will shine! (that's only my opinion of course)

NeoRox

James Wade 8-5 Wayne Mardle
Adrian Lewis 8-2 John Part
Peter Manley 8-5 Terry Jenkins
Phil Taylor 8-2 Raymond Barneveld

taylor wade final, best 2 by a mile

Kingp35

It wasn't the greatest night of the League because a few of the players didn't bother to show up.

I don't know what happened to Watne Mardle, he was playing some fantastic darts and was far the better player in the first 4 legs. he just stopped playing then and Wade took total control of the match. Mardle will be kicking himself because he sould have won that match and put himself in a great position, instead it's all very close again.

Lewis totally destroyed John Part who is really struggling for form. I'm not sure if he is still travelling from Canada every week but if he is then it is affecting his form big time. I don't think he will get through now. It was a huge win for Lewis though and he is in a great position to qualify again now.

Manley v Jenkins was the match of the night. Manley played some great stuff and he keeps proving me wrong because I never tip him to win his games. Jenkins is in serious trouble now because he is two points off the playoffs but three players, including Manley now, are on ten points. Will take something special for him to get through now.

Taylor was far too good for Barney. He is in the form of his life for me and it looks as if he is unbeatable. I can't see past him for the title at this stage. Barney was off form but even if he was at his best he wouldn't have beaten Taylor last night.

nhughes100

Wade threw serious darts allright, has that extra gear that all the greats have. If Mardle had gone 4-0 down, he'd have been whitewashed. Enjoyed Wade V Mardle and Manley V Jenkins, not much entertainment in the Part V Lewis game. Taylor was just awesome.

Rebel021

Barney is off form because he's not playing in many competitions and he again changed his darts last night,I still think Taylor is very beatable and although it was a comfortable win he missed alot of doubles.Mardle I can't believe after last night,4 up the crowd was singing his name,had all the ingredients to take wade but last night is why Wade is so tipped to be the next biggest mane in Darts,Like Manley his head never goes down and he believes in himself.

I like Manley and I rate him but Jenkins has dissappointed me in the last few weeks.
Lewis is a showboat and doesn't have it to take the big 3.

phil'ios

i agree taylors back, wade's becoming a 'machine', i know everyone hates wade but i think he's class. but you can't rule out manley. wat a hero.he's some one i loved to see win, why not root for the underdog. was it four or five in a row he won?
is it just me or does jenkins seem to get complacent when he's in the lead.

Rebel021

Last night was the poorest of the season apart from Barney who before the break looked unstoppable,Manley was unlucky not to get the draw and played well.
Part is out now and can't qualify but to be honest I'm not surprised considering
all the travelling he does all lack of regular competitions,who will take the 4th final position is anyones guess but I fancy mardle to do it but I wouldn't like to pick the winner of the league just yet.

Results

Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts - Week 12 - April 17 - Wembley Arena
Terry Jenkins 7-7 Wayne Mardle
Peter Manley 6-8 James Wade
Adrian Lewis 4-8 Raymond van Barneveld
John Part 3-8 Phil Taylor

Kingp35

Final night of the League phase tonight. Taylor, Barney and Wade have already qualified. Three players are battling it out for the final qualifying spot with Lewis, Manley and Mardle all on 11 points. Lewis and Mardle play each other with Manley playing Taylor. Manley has the best leg difference with Mardle having the worst. Here are all the possible outcomes:

Peter Manley
A win over Taylor would put him through.
A draw may be enough, depending on the result of Lewis-Mardle.
If he loses cannot quality.

Adrian Lewis
A win over Mardle would be enough should Manley draw or lose.
A draw against Mardle would be enough should Manley lose.

Wayne Mardle
Has to win against Lewis and hope Manley draws or loses.

Order of play tonight:
James Wade v John Part
Raymond van Barneveld v Terry Jenkins
Adrian Lewis v Wayne Mardle
Phil Taylor v Peter Manley


I hope Mardle makes it through but I think it will be Lewis. Manley doesn't have a hope imo.

Rented Mule

I have not heard the results from last night, but I am curious if Lewis' suspension would affect his standing in the Premier League.

dionsiseire

Wade 8 - 5 Part
Barney 8 - 1 Jenkins
Lewis 7 - 7 Mardle
Taylor 8 - 1 Manley

Taylor was supreme, manley averaged something like 103 and lost 8-1. lewis deserved the win but when he got his 7th leg he stopped playing really

The Darts Regulatory Authority have to meet and decide if either Lewis or Painter will be banned, three months is just the number thats being thrown around at the moment. Nothing will happen until the DRA meet.

bobflatley

Any predictions for tonight? Hope Wade can get the better of Barney and think he just might. Will be the game of the night I feel, probably better than any potential final. On recent form I think Taylor wil blow Lewis off the board and will win the final regardless. All on the night though, who knows.

NeoRox

James Wade 11-8 Raymond Barneveld
Phil Taylor 11-1 Adrian Lewis

Awsome display by Taylor against Lewis with a 112 average. Good display from Wade taking his chances when he got them against Barneveld.

Good match, Wade put up a good fight after he went 9-2 down. Looking forward to bolton now.

Rebel021

After the first break wade forgot he was a dart player
couldn't buy a trebble

nhughes100

Another anti-climax to a good premier league season, don't think Manley would have been beaten so easily by Taylor. Barney's semi final jink continues.

Hard to see Taylor losing anything this year.

Rebel021

Anybody here get turned off darts with sid waddells tounge up the bum of taylor?
I mean last night taylor hits 2 single 20's and then a trebble 19 and sid goes off on what a
genius of a player he is.

Taylor wasn't unbeatable last night,wade just couldn't produce the darts

DugOut

I agree, Sid is getting annoying!

Taylor was unbeatable last night! For the last 15 legs as Wade said after the match he had to have been averaging over 110 so he definitly produced the darts. The way Taylor finished off the match was awesome! I think he started each of the last 5 legs with a 180 or 177. It was the best 5 legs I have ever seen from Taylor!

Kingp35

Yeah Taylor was simply outstanding last night, I have never seen him play better than he has been for the last 2 months or so. He totally destroyed Lewis, although I was expecting that tbh. He beat Wade a little easier than I thought but you still have to say that Taylor is going to take some stopping if he can keep this up.

dionsiseire

I recorded it and waited for the time to watch it and avoided the forums.

i have to say, anyone who thinks taylor was beatable last night i dare you to stand up and be made a fool of. the only words that came to mind was holy ****.

He was playing darts like it was a practice board at home and he was starting legs better than ever, if you look back he was starting a vast majority of legs hitting that treble twenty, in the final 5 legs you could see how determined he was for the 9 darter, he didnt just want to win, he wanted to do it in style. he did a 10 darter in which he hit 177 180 140 to leave himself with 4!!! thats a rediculous leg if ever i saw one.
He hit 7 darts of a 9 darter and was visibly unhappy at not doing it.

"A record Premier League three-dart average of 112.68 saw Taylor beat Adrian Lewis 11-1 in the semi-finals"

He's playing darts on a level people have never seen, he's blowing people away with 110 averages for whole games that players just cannot compete on. Talk about answering his critics, he put them all in his place.

Sid is getting a bit lickarsey but taylor is producing phenomenal darts and a lot of the time the hysteria is warranted, though 97 is hardly a raise your hands in the air moment.

Great final, Wade in the middle looked like making a real game of it. but taylor kicked up a gear and that was that. Brilliant darts all round. Even wade looked like he might hit a 9 darter.

Barney though, oh my, i think we may have a collapse of a giant on our hands, he really bottled that game badly, he had sooo sooo many darts to beat wade in many legs, he really should have been in the final.

i hope they dont hype barney taylor like they did this year. He's not been up to it the last few meetings
