Strange, throughout the tournament MVG was hitting trebles like there was no tomorrow, but was having trouble on the doubles. It seems to have swapped over tonight! Still, trebles for show, doubles for dough as they say.

Taylor threw that set away missing the big 20. Great charachter from van Gerwen to get back into it after dipping well below his best. This kid will hit another purple patch soon...

I can watch almost any sport, but darts is something I've never managed to get into.

I'm happy to say I was wrong, this is great!

well the pattern of this final means MVG will now hit another hot streak and hit everything.

Taylor has done so well to hang in at times and has had chances to be ahead (think it was dart for 3-2)

They showed talyor at 11/4 at one stage when he was 2-0 and I thought it was buying money.

Gutted for Mikey but that was just an incredible performance from Taylor after levelling at 4-4, barely missed a thing.

Once he got it back to 4-3 it was over imo.

Some chances being passed up in this Edinburgh derby. Awful finishing from both teams.

Do it. You can do so much with the SIII. Personally I couldn't go back to an iPhone after having the SIII.

iPhone 5 tbh. I had an S2 and I was very impressed with it but I still prefer the iPhone.

I played around with the s3 and again it was a good phone but I still prefer the iPhone.
