Obesehead will win both matches easily, cokehead has created a monster with his embarrassing Wolverhampton shithole gift.

Hi new on here , first post.
Have often read the posts on here during major competitions.
I've felt that Rob Cross has been heading back towards the player he was in 2017, maybe I'm wrong but he looks better.
Mike Smith certainly gone up a few notches since becoming a major winner and world champ.
A bit of resolve and maturity to compliment his natural talent.

I agree with you. Been a fan of his since I got into darts and in the last 3 years he's had good flashes here and there, I don't think i've seen him look as sharp and confident as he does right now for a long time.

One issue Cross has had in his career so far is that in weekend tournaments he seems to run out of steam by the time he makes the final, hopefully that isn't the case tonight and he goes on and wins it

Welcome to the forum
Don't worry about the fuck off and die posts
All part of the rich tapestry
I think everyone would be happy to see 2017 Cross back

Ha ha , yes I've read this forum enough to ' get ' the humour ( I think ) there's some ' in speak ' between regular members which sometimes takes a bit of interpreting (?) But all good humoured.
Thanks

Most people are utter cunts here who know fuck all about darts.

So is Bob Ross but he is an expert on snooker

Welcome to the forum Jeff

Cross has been threatening to get back to that level but never quite delivered on it. I don't think his throw is one of the best. But no doubt he is playing very well right now, I wouldn't be surprised if he won this event tonight. He is the most underrated top player in the PDC

Thanks , yes agree. One thing struck me in his rise to the top in 2017 was that he had it ' mentally ' he didn't bottle it under pressure .
Although he's had his ups and downs since then I don't think he's ever lost his winners mentality when on form.
Smith undoubtedly favourite tonight but as good as he is I can't see him ever having that stoic unbeatable aura of a Taylor or MVG that they had at their very best , despite his talent.
He just doesn't seem that ' tough ' as a character ?
He may prove me wrong.

That's because Smith is not a total cunt unlike those 2. He's actually a decent guy.

As for Cross yes he has always had the bottle, that's how he ground out major wins when no one expected him to. If he can keep this level of darts up he is dangerous at any event. But I'm skeptical of it, I think he will threaten for a few events every year but in others he will be liable to an early exit

Do you like Family Guy?

[sennafan24]

I have to admit I've enjoy this tournament a lot more than expected.

I never knew Oche played professional darts.

[Emulsfier]

This is shite

[Emulsfier]

Good shot Dobbin.

[Randall]

Had a quite dreadful day.
Can't say I'm in the mood for exbo darts

[Safc]

Smith playing shite buts it's still 5-5

[Emulsfier]

If Dobey doesnt win this he needs euthanising.

[The Thorn]

If Dobey doesnt win this he needs euthanising.

Why are you so radical about everything. It's a game of darts and an exbo at that. If he doesn't win it he's still had a good run here

[skweezit]

smith's in a pile of danger here.
dobey looking likely to bag him up and set him out to the curb.
if chris comes back from the break with a rake and a hefty sack, we'll know for sure.

[Pigpen]

was that a "how is he beating me?" I just saw?
