PDC World Championship 2017

alan partridge aha

Hard to back against a 3 in a row.

I know Barney usually turns up against MVG, but I fear for him here.

Come on barney you can do it again

He just didn't play his best today.



Why don't you post anything else here only showing up to go on about Wright every few months.

He's the 3rd best player in the world by a fair margin. He just keeps running into MVG in finals. His time for a tv tournament will come, I guarantee it.



Nonsense.

Wright at his best can beat anyone.
He's been to a final so he is clearly up to this level.

When I say at this level, I mean Anderson and MvG who are streets ahead of him.

He met Newton and Whitlock in the quarters and semis before his appearance in the final. It's not on the same level

Not if MvG and Anderson are at their best.

I think Wayne made a very good point about Wright - he really struggled to put together the combination checkouts. He scored very highly, but when it came to switching on the checkout shots, he was rubbish.

SlickRic

Booing MVG already.

Very pro-Barney crowd.

Streets ahead of him is hyperbole in the extreme.

He averages over 100 super consistently.
They are ahead, but not by much.

This is true.

This guy was walking through crowd when Barneys song was on, did he turn around to do it again.

Really enjoyed the first semi. Gary really proved me wrong this year I didn't give him a hope best of luck to him tomorrow.

Hope Barney makes it through but he could also take a massive battering if mvg runs riot.

Don't understand giving Wright stick. Nice guy great player hope he does win a world title in the end

The heart always says Barney. The head thinks Michael will win it 6-2.

bajer101

Barney looking very relaxed.

This is true.

Maybe a slight exaggeration but I don't think he has the game to beat either player in a semi or final. That scoreline was kind to him tonight.

Barney looks unreal here! Hope he gets the win.

limnam

Nice set from Barney

mdwexford

Superb from Barney.

Love to see him average around 103 and see what Mighty Mike has in the locker under pressure.

seanhynes

Mvg playing crap enough at this comp so far not near as special as Anderson dunno how he was 4/7 with the form he's in to win outright earlier today

Ronan|Raven

These breaks between sets is a pain in the hoop. Must be so annoying for the players.

Wright is a case of the bridesmaid but never the bride, He's a top player but seems to always fall short near or at the final hurdle.

He has really only been at the very top level for the last two years and has overtaken Lewis, Wade,Taylor and Barneveld in the rankings. With another bit of improvement, he can challenge Anderson

I presume you mean mvg?

They walk to the start of the walk on from behind or to the side of the main stage as the first guy reaches the stage,then wait to be introduced.

Michael is super consistent but away from Ally Pally Gary can be hit and miss.

Ah sure we will see over the next few years if Wright can win a big one. I hope he does.

Yeah, that's why I said on that stage.

Playing crap enough, genuinely the funniest thing I've seen on here.

Edit - his averages round by round are

103
105
104
103

If that's crap I don't know what you're expecting.

SlickRic

Barney laughing. And he's right to. He's been almost as good as he can be and he's lost the set.

marklazarcovic

Can Barney keep this up I wonder,i hope so for the sake of this match

blackcard

Great stuff Mvg. Barney threw some heavy punches and he responded

Dick phelan

Unreal standard so far, Some bottle from MVG to take out 114 knowing if he missed Barney would in all probability go 2 sets up.

kopite386

If MVG can continue in the form he finished that set in I think we will see Barney starting to falter
