Not the greatest night of darts.

You might as well copy and paste this for later degs

....can't see much in the way of competition unless Taylor or Gando average sub 95

Best Mervin has played in years, much closer then anyone expected

Incredibly we have not had one 'win by two legs' scenario yet. All first round games were to 10, second round to 11 and so far the quarters to 16

Meryn played great but Taylor hitting a ten darter and then the 121 was why he is still the best

I think many would disagree with that. He's the greatest but not the best at the moment.

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

Great night of darts that much better then it looked on paper anyway

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.

I really hope Lewis gets a battering tonight because of the way he was in the world cup and even more so after his game with Gerwyn Price.

If we don't see something special tonight with the four best players in the world in action, it really will be a poor Matchplay.

Four best players in the world over a long distance format. Should be as good as it gets.

I suspect MVG and Anderson are a distance ahead of the other two these days, so we'll see if that pans out tonight.

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.

Anybody here got a feeling that there will be a Nine Darter tonight

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".

Very comfortable in the end for MVG.

The game was a bit flat tonight, MvG storming near the end.

And Lewis had something to say again it seems? MvG is like have you heard this

Who has Lewis been whinging to again?

I dont know whats happened to Adrian Lewis game lately

He is just not playing well

I would have liked Peter Wright in the semi finals instead

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.

I had grown to like him before all this.

Well guys this one is looking promising xD

This is the best I've seen Taylor play for some considerable time.

Anderson is crumbling under the pressure here.

Nice of Anderson to roll over here for Taylor........like going back 5 years
