Is he a twat after this weekend's incident?
Is he still the world #1?
Is he too arrogant, like Price?
Does he have a stroke of mental issues?

Yes, No, Yes and Yes.
Safe to say I dislike him a lot.
4/10 at best needs to settle down and accept he's human, not some godlike bald eagle king.

I agree with your assessment. He's becoming more of a prick lately, can't really deal with not being the big man on campus anymore.
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Yes
Technically yes
Yes
No?

Worsley shouldn't have touched him but we'll see what the DRA's "fine" will be for him.

1) That’s subjective
2) Currently no, but his A game is way above anyone else’s who currently play.
3) He can come across as arrogant sometimes, but then Bristow certainly did as did Taylor in my opinion.
4) No evidence to suggest this

Was before and after.

So say the rankings.

Most of the time no, since he is usualy very good at darts. Times like right now though when he can be beat by anyone he should shut up or look a mug.

No of course not.

Reminds me of when he was 18 and the biggest prospect in the game. At one point the rise stopped, was so disappointed in himself that he lost his hair and confidence and eventually that showed in the results for years.
I'd not be surprised if he falls victim of the classic blunder of setting the bar for yourself too high again, i.e. he's going to slide down the rankings for the next two or three years before he grasps himself again.

To clarify: with mental issues I'm regarding to his mental game. Seems to lack confidence in his own game as of lately.

Are you seriously suggesting that MVG lost his hair due to him being disappointed in himself? And not due to male pattern baldness.

Stress is one of the main causes of early hair loss. I can recall MvG talking about it, but I could be wrong on that.
I'm pretty sure the high expectations everyone had of the young man is part of why he struggled for a few years when it didn't come.

Whilst hair can be lost due to stress, this would normally only be temporary.
