I think a lot don't give two fiddles about their weight as long as the darts do the talking. But yeah for their health later in life they should really be looking after themselves.

With all the traveling they do, and with them playing there games in what is basically a massive pub, I can understand that they aren't the healthiest of men.

I often wonder if being fat is actually an advantage, bigger heavier arms mean a more steadier throw? Can't be a considence that all the top players are big puddings

I put a thread up in the gambling forum for betting on this as i love watching it and having a few interest bets, do any of you bet on it and if so are they your own picks or is there anywhere that posts tips or stats. If you know of somewhere could you point me in the right direction.

Some of us do gamble on the darts, it's not really a game you can give tips on though is it? Can you post a link to your thread

Looking forward to seeing Thornton v Norris tonight, Norris is one of the more dangerous unseeded players and a draw I doubt many wanted, still I'd expect Thornton to win. Michael Smith is an excellent young player as well, be good to get a look at him to.

I wish Bristow would stop referring to the PDC as 'us'.

For example, 'Alan Morris has done well since coming over to us from the BDO'

He's done it quite a few times in the coverage so far. Is he still playing or what?

Could be wrong, but I'd say he has shares in the PDC, he was a founding member. I know Phil does.

Every mumble that comes out of his mouth annoys me. He has no place presenting or commentating on TV.

John Michael, can we claim him. Irish enough name anyway

Cmon now Chuck!! Would love to see him go deep.

And all the sweeter if he knocks out Thornton as well, really dislike him

Good set by norris, Thornton would want to wake up or he's in trouble

Same as, he's big angry face is so annoying. Giving out to himself if he hits a good 140.

Yeah that annoys the hell out of me.

Cracking last leg by norris, taught his doubles might be his downfall but bar the first leg he's looked good.

ComfortKid

Yeeees!! See Thornton an ignorant pig, barley shook his hand, didn't congratulate him our anything.

Super darts from Chuck, I reckon he will beat Joe Murnan too.

jamesbere

Very impressive display from norris

Kingp35

Serious darts from Norris. Really good performance

Murnan was average enough, I'd say he'll easy win if he plays like that

KevIRL

All personal dislike for Thornton aside, that was a super display of darts from Norris

Looking at the draw there, it wouldn't surprise me to see Norris get to the semis.

Andy Hamilton is the player that looks angriest to me

ComfortKid

This should be close, fancy Smith to go through 3-2

Keeps playing like that and he has a good chance

ComfortKid

That was some wild dart for the 141 haha what a leg of darts

Am I the only one who thinks if M. Smith was to lose some weight he'd win a world champion ( pundits and players seems to think its only a matter of time) he just seems so self conscious that its like its putting him off this game the pundits and players talk him up to be..

What his him losing weight got to do with anything? Everyone including Michael knows it's his mentality. He tends to give up when the going gets tough. I think he will be a multiple world champion once he gets good experience of going deep in tournaments.

This Dutch kid is no pushover. Smith needs to get his head in gear.

His weight has to do with his mentality, I mean, if he isn't happy with that, then the head isn't gonna be right. He seems to be always fixing his T-shirt.

I just think he is too self conscious and it effects his game.

For sure, de ZWAAN is really a good player and showing it here, smith has the game to win this but he will have to pull it all out. 1-1 and 2-0 in set 3
