6-4

one more and MVG gets brown underpants

Michael Van Gerwen is champion of the World.

A cracking finish, didn't think he would hit that double first dart after missing the board on the visit before

Great match. So pleased for MVG and surely Snakebite is in Pl now

No Hamilton :(

Beat you to it

Lewis, Barney or Anderson to win

Though it won't be Barney or Anderson

**** off Chissy

Cant believe the likes of Newton who finished bottom last year and hasn't done anything in the TV tournaments and No bottle Chisnall get in above Wade (7 time major winner and former PL winner) who reached another World Quarter final this time.

Bull**** excuse to not put Wade in

I was hoping Scott Waites was gonna come across for The Premier League.

Be interesting to see Wade's response to this, if he hadn't been talked to about it I would expect him to be very pissed off, might mean we don't see much of him this year as well

Suppose ultimately the PL is just an exhibition and all about the tv money and entertainment, so the bigger characters like Barney and Anderson will always be favoured no matter how they're playing

A response to his omission from Wade

http://www1.skysports.com/darts/news...r-league-darts

he seems to have coped with his mental health a lot better then in the past, unless something has happened behind the scenes that has triggered this

On his day though Wade's all round manner if he's playing well is quite entertaining, ok not his darts but he loves a good dance/doing summersaults on the stage

His body language is a lot better now then it use to be a few years ago when he didn't seem assed about the game at all, he reminds me of Ronnie in many ways actually

Waites is a set down and a break down in the second set in his first round match

2 sets down now

He's out!!! 3-0 defeat in round 1

Watching the highlights now, great to see Kong destroying that muppet Richie George

Richie will be a lakeside champion one day, it is not his time yet, Robbo is looking good this year

that thud every time a dart hits the board

played darts in a pub today, actually got a 140 at one stage but I suppose that's quite easy to do it's all about finishing your doubles which I suck at

Could probably play in this tournament if it was based on scoring though
