In Coventry, on 21 February 2008, on a Premier League night, Peter Manley beat Phil Taylor 8-3, strutted a bit, took down the board and gave it to somebody in the crowd. It was Taylor's third loss in 4 Premier League nights, and speculation increased more that Taylor was "finished". Taylor scowled at Rod Harrington "That will never happen again!". Taylor then proceeded to win something like 60 tournaments from March 2008 to August 2010, and won I believe 21 out of 24 TV tournaments in that period. Taylor led Lewis 4-2 in the semi finals of the 2010 World Grand Prix, and at 4-4 led 2-0 in legs in the final set, but lost. This also got Lewis into the 2010 Grand Slam at the expense of John Part, and Part himself never saw Taylor's defeat coming and Part is usually very perceptive of things like that. Taylor then proceeded to lose another 5 or 6 times before the year was over.
That reminds me of a 2014 World Championship advert. This one featured Phil Taylor, Eric Bristow, Adrian Lewis and Michael van Gerwen in a line.
I'd start where you stopped. assuming you have watched it all by now, otherwise don't read this... the final 6 sets were shared and Smith had darts to win 5 of them. Very similar to 2014.DartJack Horseman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 6:06 pm Stopped watching after 4-0, tough day today... + it was obvious I guess

I think Rob Cross will get back at some point, and he'll be an even better player if he does, having come through tough times and gotten back to great form. In regards to last year's final, Rob Cross was a fan of Phil Taylor and a down to Earth former electrician, so Cross knew that a failure to bully Taylor on the dartboard would meant defeat. He knew that he couldn't get nervous to the extent of it affecting his form, or it was over. Rob had to bully Phil, overwhelm him with heaving scoring and ruthless finishing, and he did.Rogg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:52 pmI'd start where you stopped. assuming you have watched it all by now, otherwise don't read this... the final 6 sets were shared and Smith had darts to win 5 of them.

I'm pleased for MVG that he won the 2017 final in such style because his other two were really anxious affairs. Cross may only ever win 1 but by fuck did he win it properly on the night.
Yes, watched it. Smith really had his chances.Rogg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:52 pmI'd start where you stopped. assuming you have watched it all by now, otherwise don't read this... the final 6 sets were shared and Smith had darts to win 5 of them.DartJack Horseman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 6:06 pm Stopped watching after 4-0, tough day today... + it was obvious I guess

I don't think his sudden weight gain helped him either..SolidSCB wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:19 am Personally I don't think Cross has a throw that holds up long term. Said as much last year after he won and he's already looked a bit ropey this year. Definitely a top 10 player and might be a bit of a John Part type in that he's capable of taking out the best in van Gerwen but doesn't win as much as you'd probably expect in terms of titles.
Agree with this. I don't know whether it is because of his action or not, but he throws a hell of a lot of snatchy darts that drift low of the treble, especially under pressure. I don't think he'll ever hit the same heights he hit during the Worlds last year, but that was just incredible. Still, he'll be a very good player and very much a threat for majors on his daySolidSCB wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:19 am Personally I don't think Cross has a throw that holds up long term.

Not surprising every cunt I ever met that was pretentious and self absorbed enough to have two fucking last names was a pain in the ass. Fucking pick one last name or be cool enough to have just one name.
anyways welcome to the forum. FYI please make friends with skweeshit he is in desperate need of a friend the boring fuck, keep your dog away from Kimmy or it will be soup, Randall and you will be in the running for the moany-est cunts. Don't worry you will win as most likely Randull will retire to bed for the evening. Be catious of Griepel and Beppe they most likely carry some STD. But if your in need of an eyeliner pen Beppe is your man. The rest are too busy in the "would you do it" thread they aren't of much concern. The mods are completely useless and the only person around here who has shown themselves to be worth anything is SAFC for running the comps and doing it properly. Be patient with our care in the community members like Chizzyfan and Oche, if they alarm you just throw some crayons at them, most likely they will eat them but it will give you time to avoid harm as they will be distracted for some time.

The wife didn't wanna give up her surname.
I think we hear alot about the higher standard these days but whilst the world number 40 is probably better than the number 40 of 25 years ago I don't think there are any more potential champions around now then there was then.
The top group of players now have stagnated and those I the next group don't look good enough to take over.
Welcome! I agree with you there, the depth in the PDC is tremendously broad these days, and that's why we saw so many upsets early on. I agree about the chasing pack, although van Gerwen isn't as ruthless as Taylor and will let them in from time to time. I'm expecting a few years of relative dominance from MvG, but there really are some quality young players coming up the ranks in my opinion, give it a few years and I'm sure de Zwaan, Dimi, Aspinall, (hopefully) Cadby and many others will be challenging for majorsNigel Cheeseman-Blenkinsop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 10:14 pmSorry about my name mate, you can call me Nigecannibal wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 1:11 am Christ on a Bike this fucking nigel fucking long hyphenated surname cunt moans about everything.
