If memory serves me right that went on until almost midnight too.

The Circus Tavern always felt up close and personal, with far less of a factory floor feel.

I always preferred Part v Taylor myself but both were obviously better. Tonight was really good, though.

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.
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.
The tournament was ruined really by bang average players like Dolan and Williams taking out big names with one off performances. Really wanted to see an MVG Humphries semi final but that prick Williams had to ruin it.

Overall it won't be far off. There haven't been too many terrible games

Are you kidding? Williams beating MvG was great :)

I agree, I'm gutted Littler didn't win, Humphries deserved it, Littler will remember that double 2 for a 5 2 lead as long as he lives

Randall probably enjoyed Taylor vs Painter the most.

Well, at least the final leg.

This might be tbf, there's been a story for the ages which has captured the imagination of the whole country, and plenty of great darts and fantastic matches even aside from Littler

It's a familiar narrative. They have to keep saying it case anyone notices things they don't want noticed.

Not sure but you have to keep faith as long as wadey is still standing.

I don't think you can say Dolan had a 'one off performance' against Price considering he was a similar level in all 3 of his wins. Williams would have needed a miracle to beat Humph, but likewise, MvG could easily have been fodder for him, especially on that form

That one felt epic and a rollercoaster. Taylor down 0-2, 1-4 and 3-5, wins 7-6.
