And that is why Philth is GOAT. 29 years of playing and winning 52% of basically anything that is important. Longevity and dominance.
MvG only has about 17 years of playing the way he is to become the GOAT. Tall ask indeed.

Goat yes Taylor still has that,but Gerwen has already won this World Title then after that he can close down on the goat.

My decision to sack off the final with work early doors, the correct one.
Reading this thread a lot more interesting than the actual game I suspect, some interesting stuff.

[Rogg]

Gerwen has already won this World Title

Which is some effort in November.

[Rogg]

The BBC do a small piece after every PDC TV event nowadays. This one even mentions the date and time of the Worlds draw. Maroon fades to black.

Routine MVG win..

[Rogg]

Gerwen has already won the next two World titles simply because he is easily the best

What?! Isn't that a bit of a leap?

Well? Well?! You should be kept in padded accommodation sir.

The set format is a leveller. It gives greater weight to your mentality of taking key legs (and your response when failing to take them), and slightly less to your pure darting talent. With the legs format, you can just put your head down until you reach the finish line. Not so easy to do with sets.

[Chizzyfan]

The reason Cross lost to MVG so much this year was because of his dips for 3 legs. He lost a set of two 3-0 and it didn't matter. Got to love set play.

[Rogg]

Me either, only the 3rd time I've ever seen both on a 9 dart checkout too, both on 141, Manley was in a match where it happened once, as was Priestley, think he was playing Taylor.

Seem to recall that a couple of times, king v barney one of them I think?

Think you're right.

At the piss Palace I think.
Taylor was involved in one against wade I think.

Correcto! 2008 Matchplay Final, Lanning and Waddell on it:

Another! Also found the Barney-King one mentioned above.

[JH01]

Seem to recall Taylor and Baxter doing it too.

[Randall]

And Taylor and wade

[Safc]

Didn't Michael Smith and JDZ do it 1 year at worlds a few years ago aswell 180 180 180 180 but both missed the 7th dart
