PDC EUROPEAN TOUR 2017

Is he really viewed as a pantomime villain!?
That really does seem confined to a few on internet forums?

He is by me.

Elsewhere, most darts fans seem to love him. Especially in England.

[Randall]

I don't have strong feelings either way but not sure pantomime villain is a role I'd cast him in.
Manley, Nicholson etc maybe

I am merely talking from my own perspective. He's someone I love to hate. In general, he's seen as the game's reference point, and a legendary figure. Hence why I think the PDC will suffer a bit when he retires.

When Taylor has reached the final of the Worlds in recent-ish years, the viewing figures on SKY have been more impressive than when he is not involved. He's still the biggest star in the game.

[Randall]

The pdc/Hearn must be thanking their lucky stars for mvg.
Even though he is more annoying than Taylor ever was.

Philth will be missed, for a year or two. Think there are a couple players who will make things interesting and if a few new players step up and continue to play well the pain of Philths abscence will be less. A few years ago the pain would have been much greater, things in the PDC in much better position now.

They didn't seem to like each other too much, would be great to see Cross rivalling MVG. Even though he looks the sort who wouldn't even stand up for himself if his ice cream was stolen at the playground.

I'm more interested in seeing Corey Cadby squaring it up to Van Gerwen....

If Cadby gets in his face, which he surely will, mvg will not like it.

And to be honest I think we do need somebody who can really square it up to him each and every tournament...

Snakebite's pantomimes last only until he faces MvG at a final which he usually loses.....

I'm a Taylor fan but then we should realise that life goes on after him too....

As someone who only watches TV darts, I am looking forward to tonight. Had a nice couple of weeks without darts on my TV.

It's next weekend isn't it?
It's the German world series event this weekend.

Yes, starts on Thursday as well, on one of the major freeview channels.
I imagine we will all be forced to watch at gunpoint.
The cunts.

MVG gonna make it?

[Rogg]

MVG gonna make it?

Not heard anything yet. I somehow doubt that he'll play both the Euros and the World Series Finals the weekend after but I know nothing.

[Randall]

With the world's in December if he has to miss both in preparation it would be the right call.
