I said I did not wade in nor chizzy, but durrant should not be in either.


As for gurney, he is another boring player with his constantly sour puss no interest in watching him either

prefer to have durrant in rather than wade or gurney.i know durrant is at most a 95 average but still prefer him to the 2 ive mentioned.

wade mensur and a few others are on the slippery slide.

Except Barry Hearn said he was in for what he did in 2019.


In 2019 he was only 10th on the money earned list.
Chizzy and wade were above him


Durrant won 2 floor comps....wade won 5, chizzy won 3.


So using the excuse hearn used then wade and chizzy should have qualified.
I rather none of the 3 were in.


Then there is ando, what did he do to warrant a spot ?

He was nowhere near the top 16 earners, and only a shared world cup win.
The PL has always been about favoritism, hence why barney got an undeserved spot year after year, while better more consistent players and winners...something barney could not do..ie Win, were left out.

The PL is a money-making venture. I’ll never understand how people get wound up every year about this and don’t get it. They‘ve got to give the illusion of it being on competitive merit, or else people won’t buy in and put money down (hence Fallon not being in it), but it’s basically the equivalent of the X Factor going on tour after the series. They’ll always pick lads who do well at the Worlds because so many more people watch the Worlds than the average TV tournament. If high profile players do badly at the Worlds (like Wade), they’ll look bad including them and it keeps each year fresh, while allowing fans to get invested in new players and building up their knowledge of darts so they then start following TV tournaments. It’s always going to be this way because this way makes the most sense. The average darts punter doesn’t care about Order of Merit or players championships. How they go from being someone who dresses up and boos players at they aim at doubles to someone who moans about people who do that is through stuff like the PL being marketed this way towards them.

Well done to Peter Wright, he was the better player last night and his finishing in particular was excellent.

While I thought MVG deserved to be favourite, I thought the odds of 1/3 v 9/4 were far too generous to MVG. Given the form during the tournament it was always going to be closer than that.

I like MVG but he has to stop saying thing like 'he (Wright) won't beat me this week', he done the same before playing Price in the Grandslam this year and lost as well.

It's gonna turn into a bit of a running joke if he keeps saying these things then losing.

Absolutely delighted for Snakebite, seems like such a nice genuine person and he fully deserved it.

Well.I Didn’t see that coming TBH.
Wright continually improved and reached his peak at exactly the right moment.
Perfect rationing of energy. Snakebite’s face betrayed no emotion during the entire match but you could almost feel the tension rush out of him when he landed that double 10. Despite him having to take a step as his markers blocked him off a clear sight.
I suppose it was sporting karma as well. So many runner up finishes. Only fair that he lands the big one to compensate.
Well done that man!

Gods Gift

Delighted for wright.
Met him in the spencer hotel after the darts in 3 arena. Very nice chatty bloke.
Didn’t see this final but wasn’t expecting that result. Fair play to him.

Justin Credible Darts

I think the result is good for darts as a whole.
one player dominating like Taylor did is great, but becomes repetitive and the game needs a top player, but needs to have serious challengers

Yeah thrilled for Wright he outplayed MVG from start to finish and it was great to see how much it meant to him at the end as well.
