I wouldn't pick cross this year
European Champion and World Matchplay Champion plus still 4th in the Order of Merit which makes him an automatically qualifier....

Plus 2 runner up spots in TV events ( 1 being the Premier league) yet apparently he has been rubbish.
Cross was a certain shoe-in with what he did last year
I’m convinced Randall isn’t being serious.....Surely??
It's simply a personal preference

You cant help but think this will be the kick in the pants mvg needs.
How many of the true majors does he hold 1?
Poor return.
If this doesn't get his mind focused nothing will.

Hi.
Read alot on here as a guest, decided to join.
Entertaining site. Followed all the opinions and learned a few things. Followed the fellow with the betting tips he was very good, does he work for the forum ? Very intuitive to have a man reporting live from the venue.
I'm looking forward to following coverage of future events.
Thanks.

Taylor beating Manley 3 times is the only exception.
So tomorrow night, that will become 4 out of 6.
Admittedly it's a pretty small sample. :)
Ahem. 5 out of 6 times now.
Indeed. I stand corrected.

Remember that, man that game was grim! You could tell neither man enjoyed it, plenty of pressure on Kirk as well as he fell out of the top 32 by losing his next match to a then hot Mark Webster.

Massive credit to Part for getting the job done in 2008, he was past his best even then but took his opportunity

I’ve got tickets for Sheffield. It says April 9th on my ticket, but I better ask Cheeseman when I really need to go as they could be playing next week 🤪
They have stunt doubles performing in front of the live crowd.

The screens in the arena show the real players competing, which of course was recorded weeks ago.
Just read this , logged back in to say , yes, you're closer than you think. Hollywood technology from fifty years ago+
Fish eye permeable screen virtually invisible between stage and audience creates hologram imagery for crowd of ' live ' players , where none exist.
Over and out
You are without doubt the funniest character I have seen on the Internet. You light this board up, you really do.
The only person to rival you on the Internet in my opinion is a character known as Raven Jet Byrne. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were him.
For everyone reading this, google Raven Jet Byrne and you will laugh very loudly.
I've actually had a few personal messages today thanking me for a wonderful tournament full of insight and profit.
Cheers

Saw this !! Made my day.
Have given you a fuller answer on my betting tips page.
I dont work for this site, they couldnt afford me .
I prefer to see it as a school full of various types and I'm the head boy / head prefect / with my mate Paul as chief enforcer . Theres some thickies around who dont get it and need bringing into line
Mr Randall is headmaster but he has a soft spot for us , he knows we maintain a certain discipline.
We provide remuneration for those with an ear an eye and a brain.
Nice to read your comments Toby
I wont be on here now until the next significant tournament. PM if you near St Helens, I have a vacancy on my team for someone to count my money , it's taking me too long.
Adios , Nige

Watching the world final lads. Did you switch it off after the ominously choketastic leg 1? MVG wires bull for 170 to take the set on Wright's throw. Nothing to worry about.

Oh yes :D

Van Gerwen like a lunatic in set 3, takes it in 12-12-13. Throws the lot at him in set 4 and wins that too. Wright certainly not fading but everything points the usual way now.

5th set. Wright 10-darter to break. 7 perfect. MVG seems badly rattled by that, starts missing a ton of doubles. Buggers away 6 darts at 32... Wright wins the set.
Seems even more unlikely on second viewing. Wright has outstanding presence. Will punish anything.
