The Phillip Taylor Appreciation Thread

[Chizzyfan]

Could only have been nerves from Taylor. If he wants to be top 4 he must start faster. Not everyone will be as erratic as Chizzy who still managed the most 180s of the night.

i think chizzy confused him with the shitness of his darts

[Justin Credible]

sad to see the great taylor lose his aura playing bottlers and st helens special needs players

[Noisycrowds]

a few years back that would have been 7-0 to taylor

[Justin Credible]

well yes, thats the point

[Noisycrowds]

best he retires so as not to disspoint me to much , am praying he can win one more major

sad to see his win loss record which was superb be tarnished as jobbers pick up wins they would never have got before

[Noisycrowds]

well it wont get much lower if hes not playing much , personally id like to see him win the matchplay or gsod

as i fear if he won the worlds he wouldnt retire

As said though, he is the biggest ticket seller in darts. I like Barney, but the reaction he gets at the PL shrinks every year. Taylor always gets a hero's welcome in Manchester. MVG seems to be the man of the moment with casual fans.

The PL this year sold on the back of Taylor and MVG in my opinion. Whether ticket sales would remain strong if Taylor retired remains to be seen.

One year I went the PL, people left in droves after Taylor's game finished. Lewis vs Whitlock was played before around 50-60% of the crowd. Last year, barely anyone left when Taylor was playing last.

At what point did you start to dislike Barney?
