World Darts Championship

Finally - 83 average plays 84 average. Glorious.

 

[The Bear]

Was just about to say, I doubt they'd be much over 85.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If that is what Tony Green thinks is a high-scoring game, I would hate to see a low-scoring slugfest.

By comparison, in his semi-final Gary Anderson was averaging 115 for whole sets.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bristow sounds absolutely shedded.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

Come on Gary! Poor start for him.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Didn't they normal show the Youth final before the main event..

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That was on last month - before one of the finals on ITV4. Max Hopp won.

I paid attention to that didn't I.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Backed Lewis tonight but he's beginning to lose his way here

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Neither at their best but compelling viewing.

 

[Trips]

Anderson looking good now - should go 5-3 up here

Premier league line-up should be announced tonight also - who do we all think will get in.

My prediction

van Gerwen
Anderson
Taylor
Wright
Lewis
Wade
van Barneveld
Klaasen
Smith
Chisnall

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thornton might get in after winning the Grand Prix. Klaasen would drop out from your list I guess if he did.

 

[James]

Van Gerwen
Anderson
Lewis
Taylor

the top 4 are guaranteed a place.
Wright
Wade
Smith
Klaasen
Van Barneveld
Thornton

Would be my prediction

 

[James]

Just to talk about the BDO, Tony Green is like Wayne Mardle a cancer on the darting commentary scene!

 

[Trips]

Think Klaasen gets in due to run here at the Worlds and knocking out Taylor - sky will build up the rematch. Chisnall is the dodgy pick from my list.

Anderson needs to sort his counting out here

 

[Stan Hullis]

Wow Lewis is flying here

 

[James]

Gary Anderson Retains the title.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Anderson 'Getting older the body is starting to hurt'

Fuck off Anderson your not playing bastard rugby...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Confirmed Premier League:

MVG, Ando, Lewis, Wright, Taylor, Barney, Wade, Thornton, Chizzy, Smith

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Meanwhile, amateur hour continues on the BBC...

To be fair, I just caught the end of number 3 seed De Graaf being knocked out and that was quite an enjoyable game with reasonable scoring. A favourite moment was a bounce out that finished with the dart stuck behind the scenery holding the board up so the scorer had to fish it out.
