    Looks like it alright.

    Willie really has been poor since turning professional. Maybe he's putting too much pressure on himself. He's losing a fair few quid with all these first round exits.

    Yeah hotels flights and generally just living and having a family without a wage. Must be scary. I'm sure he'll get going soon he has the skills.

    with Price reaching the semi finals , he is now going to top the players champs order of Merit, unless he loses in the semi and Ratajski wins the final

    either way James Wade who has won 5 of the 30 players champs will move down to at least second seed.
    The reason Wade with 5 titles is not tops is because he has not played in 10 events, so a great haul for Wade in the events he entered.

    PC titles won this year so far

    Wade 5
    Price 3
    Ratajski 2
    Dolan 2
    Wright 2
    Chizzy 2
    De Sousa 2
    Durrant 2

    Wade will most likely now pay for his laziness and him missing so many events.
    He lost his top seed spot and now as second seed, and if the draw I saw is correct he will most likely meet MVG in the last 16....the section of the draw no one wants.

    He deserves it for being so complacent.

    I get your point but he's won more events than anyone, maybe he didn't see MvG missing so many events aswell ?
    If you want to win a tournament your more than likely going to have to beat MvG at some stage anyway

    True, but we both know players want to avoid MVG, just like they wanted to avoid Taylor in the past.


    Take ally pally coming up, watch how players will be missing events.
    Take Wade, who is now #8 in the Oom, and in line to meet MVG at Ally Pally, as MVG wont be losing his #1, but hypothetically Wade could easily skip an event or two to drop to 9th and get an easier draw at Ally Pally.


    I am sure many players factor in things like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,518 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss

    Eh? #9 has the same path as #8 from the quarters onwards.
    #10 or #11 is probably the sweet spot to get to (if you can't move up to #6 or #7).

    I know but 8th gets you the #1 seed un the last 16. while 9thth gets him a round later I believe.


    A lot of pdc draws lately have been very imbalanced die to the way things worked out and players dorm.
    Anderson for example is well off form for missing so many events , like euro tours and players champs, it skews things a little

    End of the day any player with in with a shout of winning it will have to beat 2 or 3 top players

    of course, but the number of players capable and who have won majors is hardly impressive when you look at the top 16.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    of course, but the number of players capable and who have won majors is hardly impressive when you look at the top 16.

    Van Gerwen, Anderson, Cross, Wright, Price, Gurney, Chisnal, Smith , Aspinall, Durrant , Wade all capable of making the final .

    Champions League of Darts is hard to watch with Paul Nicholson on commentary. As unbearable as a commentator as he was a player.

    The TV spotters are the worst I've seen for doubles,may as well spin the camera 360 each time

    Also as mentioned above the camerawork is all over the shop


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    The whole thing is a shambles. Thank God the BBC didn't get a proper week long major. I do like the trophy tho. Peter wright going for bull t7 bull was thing of beauty so close


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    Commentator just said will MVG go for the big fish here? Anderson was on 90

    I got rid of sky sports last month so am delighted to see darts on BBC even if it is a little boring :))

    I'm hoping price can win this out. He'll take some stopping anyway. Think he steamrolls snakebite

    The coal scavenging manlet with a napoleon complex is playing MVG in the semis.


    Price loves to run his mouth and this weekend said he is not scared of MVG, which is hilarious considering Price has played MVG 16 times, and lost every single game.

    They Missed the winning double 16 there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Really enjoyed that.

    Price played very well and can consider himself unlucky to lose

    I’ll put a few quid on him to win the WC’s

    Wright bottling it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    And missed the double 16 win, shocking, some comeback by MVG


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Wright completely bottled that, had him on the ropes. He’s a habit of bottling it in big finals

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Wright proves the doubters right yet again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 362 ✭✭nannerby


    Mvg wasn't even that great but wright bottled it anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,010 ✭✭✭velo.2010


    Any ideas who sponsored that event, can't quite tell.:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    ****e in the bucket. Absolute ****e in the bucket Wright.

    Listen to mvgs interview with live darts he knows he can play bad against them an still win, they're all scared

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,905 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Wright must be sick of the sight of MvG, bottles it against him every time it matters. MvG must know at this stage that he just needs to turn up against Wright and it's a guaranteed win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    wright when he loses , his interviews seem like he immediately blocks out the match and moves on without dealing with what has just happened

    absolutely brutal

    Yer wan doing the interviewing told MvG that Wright said he 'didn't deserve it' when he said no such thing!

    What he said was 'he ain't that good' which is slightly different

    Mark Webster is good, the rest of them.....
    And then the camerawork ffs

    people wonder why I lambast players on my darts site.

    you have proven chokers who have won nothing of note in their entire career fill up spots in the top 16.
    You have Chizzy, White, and Smith, who won nothing, and Smith is the #4 in the world....let that sink in

    Then you have those mentally weak like Krusty the klown wright who constantly chokes.
    You have a coal scavenging manlet in Price who gives it all mouth how he aint afraid of MVG and has lost 17 games on the trot to him.
    Winds up the crowd, but cries like a wimp when he gets it back.

    Gurney is just depressing to watch, Wade is ok when he actually gives a toss, which is rare these days
    Ando got complacent and hardly ever plays and his lack of match games shows.
    Rob Cross is the World #2 and there is no way he is the second best player....that is all because of a systen that rewards performances in the World champs.
    Cross is defending 400k this year and will take a huge hit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,225 ✭✭✭marklazarcovic


    Aren't mvg and Michael Smith the same age? And he beat mvg to win his lauded world youth championship...

    Stack the trophies baking side each other haha

    Do you even like darts?

    It's been a while since I've visited your site but if it's still the same you'd be getting no prizes for web design.

    is that the best you got ?


    you cannot dispute the truth that smith has won nothing, ando is a sulk who is out of form
    Krusty is a choker.
    Price runs his mouth and cries if he gets it back.
    Lost all 17 matches of his against MVG
    Chizzy and white won nothing of note in their career.

    but feel free to deflect.
