Unstoppable from MvG, just unstoppable.

Barney averaging 110.58 and 5-2 down, it just beggars belief.

Fair play to Barney, the Barney of old would have had his head down here and given up he's tried his guts out tonight but no human can beat MVG tonight!

At least Barney can go away knowing he played decent , he just came up against a top class MVG

MvG wins by finishing 90 with two D18s!

What an amazing, incredible, astonishing, magnificent, sensational, fantastic, brilliant, tremendous, superb, awesome darts match.

Seriously though, as given to hyperbole as I am, I think we really do seriously have to consider that that is the greatest match ever seen on a televised stage in the whole history of World Darts.

You almost think that darts can't be played much better than that. 114.05 over 8 sets.

What a performance from MVG! Great effort from RVB too. Both players broke records in the end, MVG highest ever World Championship average and RVB with the highest ever losing average!

How rude. I trust we wont see you in that thread for the tournament

It really pees me off that so called darts fans call the BDO. It isn't needed. None of these players you fawn over would be here without the BDO. You don't have to enjoy watching it but it deserves some respect.

109.47 Phil Taylor 18-9 James Wade (102.58) final, Matchplay 2008, 27 legs

109.00 Phil Taylor 4-1 Mick McGowan (101,82), last 32, PDC WC 2007, 21 legs

MvG's average is the highest ever recorded in the history of the World Championship (PDC or any code).

Barney's average is the fourth highest average recorded in the history of the World Championship - and, needless to say, the highest average ever recorded in a World Championship defeat.

I've got no way of checking this but I'm pretty sure there's never been a televised darts match with a combined average of 223.39

Sorry but if a player only wins two sets they shouldn't be in that list. The fact that he hasn't got to a finish ups his average

I proved this last week with Daryl Gurney. He won two sets and his average dropped considerably. I think only the match winners averages should count in one sides scored games.

Can understand Barney feeling that way, same with Phil they must look at the likes of MVG and Ando and think realistically can I ever beat them over 11/13 sets........doubtful. Barney played better than he's played in about a decade there and got beat 6-2.
