Does one automatically justify the other though?
If you'd have posted that Chizzy was going to make the final when he was 8-0 down to Thornton you would have got laughed off the forum eh...

It can justify the arrogance. Look at Eric, he was Taylors mentor and he was a right arrogant sod. If you are the best the game has ever produced, and Taylor will be the best for at least another 10 years, then you have earned the right to brag about it I guess. Quite simply, when Taylor calls it a day it will be a bad day for darts, especially on TV.

Rubbish, the standard is only getting better, with it without Taylor the sport has never been in a healthier state.

Really?
He's not even the best player now if you go by the Order of Merit.
He'll be among the best for the next few years, sure, but at least another 10?
I think that's pushing it somewhat.

Indeed, but that was solely within the context of the game.
I get the impression with Taylor that he carries that attitude within him as a person, not just as a darts player.

Wonderful piece of selective quoting. Why not quote the whole sentence ?

In other words, in 10 years time from now he will still be the greatest of all time. MVG can win every world title from now until then but he will still be lagging behind.

Beg your pardon, I thought you meant the best player at the given moment, not of all time.
That statement I fully agree with.

You are letting your hatred for the man cloud your judgement. That is a ridiculous statement. Without Phil Taylor the game would not be in the position it is in now. That is not my opinion that is FACT. Because you do not like the man ( well hate so much was your words ) doesn't make it so. Without Taylor we wouldn't be seeing 100 plus averages so readily. He took darts to another level. Surely you can see that. Can't you ?

Yes but that standard isnt going to suddenly drop 10 points when he finally does retire?

No it isn't, and I never said it would. TV viewing figures will though. 10% and some
Fantastic recovery on that 87 finish from MvG, hit big 3 rather than big 17 then took out the T20 D12 as easy as you like.
Seven missed darts for the match from Taylor.
Must admit I did smile to myself when Taylor refused a bull finish in an earlier leg to pressure a 144 from MvG, which he then duly took out.

YES YES YES 😃
Wouldn't be surprised to see Chizzy win this now, MVG will be exhausted after that and it would be the perfect fairy tale after being 8-0 in the opener

What a match that was!!! I love them both.
Hope Phil sticks with these Darts. He's played well his week, and it's been good to see. No doubt people will stil be writing him off, but it's not like he's playing bad.
Hopefully MVG will win it now though.

Like the commentators said, Phil new how big that leg of darts was where he missed 7 or so darts at double to win the match.
Absolutely brilliant match though.
On that showing Phil is far from finished.

Even then i can't believe he decided to set up a finish from 61 left with 2 darts when he needed single 11 then bullseye or T11 leaving D14, MVG then took out 144
I really hope Chizzy doesn't become like Rocket Ron and Tel Jenkins as a perennial runner up. He is much better than that. Would love to see him win a tournament one day
