There didn't seem to be as much dross in the earlier stages and there were some exceptional games/performances in the latter stages.

The semi-finals weren't great, in truth, but most of it from the last 16 onwards was a very good watch.

They were not great in terms of drama, but I did appreciate Littler and Humph's performances in them.

Me? Instead of watching darts I am going to read a book.

At the weekend? Some nice outdoor walks.

I'll see you in the book thread

It's a book about Niki Lauda

I have a signed letter from Niki.

Sweet.

I'm pretty clueless about his F1 career in the 70s. Hence why I bought the book.

Was one of the first airlines I wrote to for a job after I bummed out of my ATC training. Was really surprised he signed it.

Worthy champion

Nice to have top player who isn't a cunt for a change

Make that 2 top players

Littler is up there

Well done to Humphries. He deserved to win but what a huge disappointment. I switched the TV off the second the winning dart went in. I love sport and like to see rare freakish things being done. Such a shame Littler couldn't get it done.

Granted, Humphries vs Williams was never likely to be a thriller, but Littler-Cross had its moments. The semis and final are a looooong format, sometimes you can have a game that's really tense at the beginning until someone pulls away

Will miss Russ

I appreciated that quality on show but I prefer a good contest. Neither semi-final fit that particular bill but a lot of the last week or so has. I've enjoyed it a lot, more so than a fair few of the recent renewals.

Good final but still doesn’t top the Taylor v Barney final of 2007. Nothing will beat bulling up for throw for the sudden death leg.
If memory serves me right that went on until almost midnight too.

Get ready for the big list.

Greatest World Championship ever? LOL. They always say that, and it's rarely true.

Go onto the BBC website to join other like-minded souls seeking group therapy.

Agreed. Dropped the mong persona he had a few years back. Smith could learn a thing or two from him.

I don't think anything can top that, not just for the game itself, but for the background to it as well
