Whilst watching King & Smith, I've also just read the article about Phil Taylor not being happy with Stuart Pyke and Sid Wadell over their comments on his first match not being up to his usual standards.
Now taking into consideration that his daughter gave birth prematurely and him not having enough sleep, he did not play well. Luckily for him he's had two weak players for the first and second round.
It frustrates me that the Sky Commentators are always ki$$ing his ass anyway and when the crowd were on his back he didn't like it and mentioned about considering retirement. Another thing I noticed through his last two matches is that if the crowd are behind another player he asks the ref to quieten down the crowd. If they are behind him and chanting "There's only one Phil Taylor", he loves it and tough titty on the other player.
In a way I'm glad he didn't get sports personality of the year (even though I voted for him) as he's becoming a poor loser and doesn't handle it well. Excuses are always cropping up now. The glasses, his partner Wade in the Open recently, personal problems. Lets face it Phil, maybe the other players are better than you? Get over it son. I think the crowd are bored of Taylor winning all the time and relish the change for some of the other players to get a chance.
Anyway, I suspect tonight, the Sky Commentators will be so apologetic and kiss ass it will be embarrassing to listen too. I suspect Sid and John Gwynne will commentate tonight. I don't think Taylor would be happy if Stuart Pyke commentated on his match. Regardless, I'll be sat watching.
Well if Timeform did squiggles for darts players they'd have had a busy afternoon.
Osborne and Caven match was beyond useless from both players, btu Caven an embarassment. Loading up the cash to oppose Osborne against Barney or McDine on hcap.
Then the King of underachievment himself Anderson (ok maybe jackpot) coasts into the 3-0 averaging 109 or something only to nearly be pegged back to 3-3 (should have been) by a 60 yr old - his title odds are a farce to my mind - will be laying the nuts off him and Barney that's for sure.
Anyone else sick to death of the continual hounding and booing of King? It is so pathetic and boring now, guy has done nothing to deserve it unlike those intellectually challenged doofuses Nicholson and Wade (Wade's crying about the crowd is laughable, does he not realise the more he moans the more he gets?!)

C'mon Smith - by the way
King breaks back.
But King misses.
Smith finally gets it!
Shouldnt be as exciting tonight but you never know.
Tightest match could be the 1st one.
Gutted to have missed Anderson vs Priestley earlier.
That said, Barney isn't always the most clinical and if Hylton can replicate his form of the last round he could be good for a couple of sets.
Be amazed if Wright takes one off Taylor though
I think Mcdine will take a set off Barney but Webster and Taylor will win without dropping a set.

Come on Webster , Whitlock or TJ
McDine could beat Barney if he had even half a backbone and some belief in himself.
