Sunday evening. semi finals & final.

Best of 19 all the way.

Tbh I prefer the likes of ITV and Channel 4 showing darts over Sky.

I just find the likes of Mardle and Harrington impossible to listen to. Even the smarmy presenter gets on my nerves. The only saving grace is John Part.

Major announcement before the Taylor Smith game? It's an interview with Taylor. It's his last year lads.

Sorry to correct you AJ but the semis and finals are actually best of 21.

Hoping MVG starts losing some games. Another year as dominant as last will be pretty mundane.

Taylor's last year alright. He's still making good money, I'd say he just can't handle losing so regularly. Better to see him go now than stay way past his best. Although I do enjoy watching him lose.

Jaysus Sky are going to have a field day with this retirement. Every feckin comp will be a "Taylor last Matchplay, Grand Prix" etc. The man is the greatest ever to throw a set of darts but Sky will ram that down our throats for the next 12 months. I'd like to see him win one more televised comp but can't see it happening.

Serious darts from Anderson.

crasy dash

Wade and Thornton going all the way what a beauty by James just there

MvG looks half asleep.

bajer101

Some darts for being half asleep. All he's lacking is the big combo finishes.

Ah feck.. I didn't know this was on but stuck it on there.

Feels weird seeing MVG and no Sky coverage though!

Praise the lord!!!!

Whitlock with 10 180s in 15 legs. An 11 darter and a 13 darter and he is still getting hammered.

_Kaiser_

Aww.. needs more Chase the Sun!

crasy dash

Looking forward to this now barney and Gary both starting well nice 12 darter to starts things off by Anderson

mfceiling

Hate the scorers screech of 1111118888800000000. He's still shouting it out when the other thrower is almost throwing his second dart.

Inquitus

Decent Semi's @ 7pm and should be a decent final too.

Anderson v Taylor
Lewis v Van Gerwen

Flint Fredstone

Some amount of fives being hit here.

ArmaniJeanss

Phil now has this uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Lewis seems to have zero belief that he can be competitive against MVG.

_Kaiser_

This is a weird tournament from a scheduling perfective.. MVG now has to immediately play in a final against Anderson who has at least had a bit of time to rest

Still, expect MVG to win anyway. I'm not really a fan but he is a class apart of the rest.

Positively Negative

Every tournament bar the 4 Majors are that format.
