Mervyn King is a very tough player to beat. He reminds me a bit of James Wade, doesn't get multiple 180's, 140's and 137's etc... But gets many 100's, 97's - always seems to hit at least one treble every throw.

My point if Mvg was losing would he hit a ten darter and then a big checkout and how good Mvg is he wil never be as good as Phil was for all the dominance he had over 10 years
King when on form is very good. His unlucky to be in a era where there are so many quality players.

I've seen MvG do that. MvG is special in the sense he can be losing and then out of nowhere hit a surge where he will roll of three or four 10,11,12 dart legs to swing the game.

Did you not enjoy the quarter finals? ok the averages are a bit down on the usually crazy standards but them quarters were great tight games I thought.

Must admit I only saw the ones on Thursday, which might have something to do with it.
Lewis v Wright turned into a great match but MvG v Chisnall seemed a bit underwhelming.
Blackpool is usually my favourite event but struggled to enjoy this week. I think I am getting bored of seeing the same players all the time. 8 of the 10 PL lot are in all the World Series events. But I think the real stinker has been we haven't had one really tight match yet. With only two games to go we have not had one game that has gone to "win by two clear legs".

I think he said to MvG at the end you were lucky? and clearly slowing down in the game, I don't know what's going on with Lewis the last few month he seems pissed off.
