Didn’t Wadey win the World Series final that year?
Yup.
Guess who missed 5 match darts.
I remember Wadey 2014 Masters win, when he was 9-2 down to King and still ended up winning.
Wade does what Wade does best. It's not the only thing Wade is known for (93-98 averages, 100-120 finishes when under pressure, and obviously, getting others annoyed as fuck)
When you say getting people annoyed. Are you referring to people on here 😀

Joe Cullen has had some decent runs in tournaments, especially in 2018 in the Matchplay and Euros. He's had a long time without any real title besides floor events, and won a Euro Tour in 2019. Personally, I don't think he's got the 'get-the-job-done' mentality when he's in a final. I don't doubt he'll make a final, he'll probably make multiple, but there's something about him that hints he will never be a major winner.
If Cullen wins one it will have to be a tournament where all the cards fall the right way and he end up in the final against someone like a Clayton.
You're not wrong stupidswede but you're scenario is also descriptive of more than a dozen players. Small probability occurrences do come to fruition we just don't see them often. OTOH Cullen's inconsistency is serious problem so out of the dozens of players who could possibily win something, I rank him pretty low. Dimitri is a good e.g. he shows brilliance in one match then messes his pants the next. But he won the Matchplay. What am I trying to say...who knows. Wait... I remember... There are plenty of players who are far more consistent than Cullen who are a better shot at winning something than Cullen.
If you want me to engage in discussions with you, stop being as ass. Otherwise, you know, do something more productive with your time other than forcing yourself to interact with someone you for whatever reason deem to be "stupid", it's very strange behaviour xx

You claim you want to discuss yet you don't because your a pudding. How long you beef been on this forum yet you don't get the culture here. Typical pudding crying I won't discuss unless you play by my rules. Fuck off then or bring some arguments.

I think you might be hanging on to long lost days, this culture you speak of seems to be a bit of a one man band from what I see but you do you.

I don't like Smith but i'd be shocked if he doesn't win a tournament, and when he wins one i think that could just permanently change him for the better

The main one is Chisnall, he seems to be gradually getting worse whilst people around him are getting better

Durrant is too good to not win one, i actually expect him to win one in the next 12 months

- Chizzy
- Bully Smith
- Bunting

Not sure if Duzza and Bunting count as players who have "been near to winning big titles". Given that neither have made a final of a PDC major yet.
:)

'It's not a proper Major'
'He played shit'
'He got lucky'
'Taylor would have gobbled him up tonight'

Fact is, he's got more bottle than the other 3 you named combined and never should have been mentioned on this thread.

Tbh 100% agree with you. He is far better than those three muppets.
Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

You missed the part where I admitted I was wrong to say he wouldn't win a TV event.

He did play average darts and he was lucky though.

Maybe he could have dragged Taylor down, we will never know.

I couldn't be bothered scrolling that far. You very conveniently put this one first.
