Halloween Jack and Viz hijacking the thread there.
Reading the post from these two over the past few days. leads me to believe that these two are in a symbiotic relationship. Only these two twats can make each other sound like they have 2 brain cells between them.
Congrats to Oche Balboa you have graduated to head of the class. Due to the piss poor quality of the freshmen class and the falling standards we have no other choice but to promote Oche. Please pass your crayons to stupid swede and drooling viz.

Should Halloween Jack be called a premier troll or a major troll?

Yes.
Adams is a top 20 of all time, Sure there are downsides but its common among loads of players/pundits that he is top 20.

Top 20 is probably about right

Top 20? Perhaps.
But still massively overrated.

Players who are either better or more proven at the highest level:
Taylor
MVG
Bristow
Lowe
Priestley
Bob Anderson
Gary Anderson
RVB
Wade
Lewis
Wright
Cross
Wilson
Part
Price
I'd even rate Duzza above him. Perhaps even Waites.

Wolfie 25/1 to win the 2001 World Grand Prix, there. Level with that other "all-time great" Dave Askew.
He hadn't yet matured, presumably.

So the bookmakers rated the likes of Burnett, Warriner, and Rod above him?
Anyway, that was the tournament where a prime version of Adams lost to a past-it version of Lowe.

If we're to use that list seriously, it must be said that Adams had drawn the top seed (Manley) in the first round. I assume that would have fattened his outright price.

Was this also the tournament where that past-it Lowe got to a close match out of Taylor?

Waites? Too far me thinks.

Honestly i'd say he might just sneak top 40. It's wrong to simply look at titles in a sport like darts where there is such easy access to view the levels of performance as well as opposition.

I dunno.
Ronnie Baxter was probably a better player than Adams. Where would you rank him?

Hmm
You could make a case for half the pdc current top 32 but most of them need to win something of any note 1st.
