Eric's game being ruined by dartitis is somewhat different to mvg falling in a heap when someone puts it up to him
Well that's life. We all get ruined by something.

And there is the MVG assessment in a nutshell. A lemon who fell apart two nights ago.
Mentally mvg isn't on a par with Taylor or Bristow.
I'm not denying it. I'm just interested in assessing things fairly because people (inc. me!) are generally all over the place.

Are all three players at the absolute peak of their powers in your statement?
Absolutely
Disregard mentality briefly
Just consider the numbers
97 would have been very competitive at the Worlds this year
Then stop and think Bristow did that on boards half the size
Taylor could do 100 over distance double in on boards far more difficult
Whatever sky tell you the game isn't at its highest level ever
Thanks for that. I have seen your own commercial a thousand times and it's a lot more tiresome and militant. I'm just browsing thanks.

You finally placed the very best versions of these players alongside each other and compared them. That's all I asked. There is no correct answer and all we have is method.

It does. But you should not feel confident that you have a better grasp on perspective than anybody else has. I'm not claiming that I do either but you are an extremist on these matters. But when you are pushed a little to be more fair, you are.

Stop picking on Randall. People shouldnt be ridiculed for their dsrts opinions. For example I support WDF and ladies darts
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
