    Taylor might interview badly but so does MvG. What did he say about Gurney, that he "only" beat Webster?

    I actually like his honesty.

    If he's playing a pudding he doesn't pretend it will be a close game the way most will.

    MVG interviews well imo. Taylor on the other hand deary me.... he's asked about playing Barney next round and he starts rambling on about Lewis and how he thought he could win the worlds this year, absolute waffler, never mind the sh1t to Mardle. He needs to be called out for being such a plonker that's the nicest word I have for him!

    Taylor's interview after his first round game where he pretended he had some new secret which had improved his game hugely was comical.

    He just really can't take the fact he was so far ahead of the game for so long and he's just not anymore. There's no shame being his age and still being able to compete with the best players in the world on his day.

    I'd actually love to see him win one more in the next few years and retire on the spot, he's the most dominant player in any sport ever and for that deserves insane respect.

    On a side note, tomorrow's line up is sick, cannot wait!!

    Can't see Barney beating Taylor, Barney always seems intimidated by Taylor

    Very true on many occasions but who will ever forget the final in 2007, Barney will always have that one over Taylor.

    He's loaded and the best in the world at his sport?

    What do you offer your missus?

    In fairness to Kimmy and Dana they were already an item when he first showed up at the Worlds as an unseeded penniless no-mark.

    Should Anderson be a bit peeved that he's on this afternoon rather than the evening session?

    I doubt he cares much. I'd say a lot of them would prefer the slightly quieter crowd.

    Yeah I'd say Anderson is happier to be on earlier, seems the type that just want's to get on with it and get it done and dusted. I think he'll destroy Chisnall.

    If he plays like he did against van de Pas he will. Up with the best I've ever seen the first few sets. Chizzy can throw but he has very little self confidence up there and looks almost paralytic with nerves at times.

    Wade nicked that one, Wright will be kicking himself.

    Bad mistake by Wright in that first set.

    Crowd are getting annoying at the doubles jeering.

    Always crushes my soul a little to see a professional dart player splitting a double.

    Surprised to see Wright do it.

    He needed that set, break of throw was class.

    Fcuk me, that was unbelievable.

    Wrights doubles aren't where they need to be, if he ups that he will win.

    That 155 check out is up there with the best you'll see. Wade doesn't have the scoring Power of the others but he gets under the skin of his opponent as he never gives up. Great to watch.
