His shirts are amazing. He's got one where its just him and his family's heads on the back

Surprised Suljovic managed to win, he's been brutal this year

Is this still being streamed on YouTube?

Wade’s scoring is getting worse, I reckon he’ll quickly fall down the rankings

Bye bye Wade, always happy when he gets knocked out.

Just about managed to shake hands with him.

Exactly, same as usual. Williams seems decent, nice to see him win.

KevIRL

Some really enjoyable games today. Makes a nice change to be able to say that

Wade is always hyped up like Chizzy

Wade just can't live up to the hype esp at the World's

Rikand

Absolutely nothing Menzies can do against Vincent. Vvdv is throwing some unreal darts

bingobango12

Delighted Wade is gone. Strange bloke.

He's not on the same level as Chizzy though. He's had 4 semi-final appearances and third on the all time PDC major list. Albeit some of them are dodgy enough "majors"

Swaine

How bad is is this Turner woman in studio? Even worse on comms.

Fairly inexplicable how she got the gig really. A poor player who has never broken 70 (that i can see) in a world championship match. She's there purely for her sex.

Two women in studio analysing a game. Not one woman remaining in this tournament.

Sky are pathetic.

retalivity

Smith throwing some great darts here

Sultan of Bling

That was a good game.

Labanauskas 70% on doubles!!

Sultan of Bling

Cross very impressive.

Good win in what was a tough draw for him v williams

PTH2009

Danny Jansen has to have one of the most punchable faces this year

Dillonb3

Good performance from Clayton

hawkwing

Think it has been mostly terrible viewing since Wed evening, leaving out the Wade game there have been 18 matches and only 3 were close, 54 sets to 14 combined in those 18,put you to sleep. Most of the lads losing don't even seem too bothered :-(

Too many bad players. Should be top 64 in the rankings end of.

boomdocker

Tournament proper starting now that the dross is gone

RvB v Price, Cullen v Heta and Asp v Rock the standout ties for me in the next round

I'm sure there will be one or two surprises to come , but with the longer format best of 7 sets the cream will start rising to the top

ThebitterLemon

Must be on my own but I’d keep the format, some of the earlier games were enjoyable even if the quality wasn’t always great.

Swaine

How good is Dan Dawson on Sky. Fantastic addition.

ArmaniJeanss

Rather than reducing to 64 players I'd say it's more likely that 128 will happen (maybe 112 first, with just the Top 16 getting a bye).

They are still selling out those pre-Christmas sessions, to the XMas party office market I think, and no reason to think another 4 or 8 sessions wouldn't sell out either. Be kind of silly not to maximise your revenue potential.

I agree it's not always very watchable stuff though, this year seemed particularly bad looking at the results (I've never really watched more than a handful of games until the last 32 anyway)

mdwexford

Very poor tournament so far but think it was similar last year.

Great first set there with Aspinall and Rock, should be a close one.
