PDC World Championships 2013

Taylor's had two 9 darters in the same match, think it was in the premier league. Not back to back mind.......like that matters!

Come on MVG! Dislike Wade even more now, didn't even acknowledge the 9 darter......

Barney and Taylor up next. Barney to win!

Thanks for that, didnt realise Taylor had done two 9 darters in a single match.

Agreed, a bit off from Wade there, usually the opposition acknowledge the 9 darter, didnt have to hug MvG or anything. Cracking warm up for Barney vs Taylor.

Taylor's gonna eat Barney alive tonight I reckon!

Looks like it unfortunately. As long as the trophy heads to Holland.

What a night of darts. great effort by barney but not enough. The crowd are going to be right behind MVG.

Decent effort by Barney, had more to do with Taylor's minor implosion I feel. He was really flapping towards the end of the match. I know his darts look to wobble sometimes when he aims them but last night his whole face was quivering when barney was chasing.

Won't say who I'm gonna be cheering for, suffice to say I've already dug out my flesh coloured swimming cap....!

MVG to win, Taylor retires with a bit of luck.

I've always tended to be a Taylor fan but am getting a little tired of his antics now.

It seems to me he can be a real **** at times.
But - He's always smart enough to go back into full spin doctor mode when back in front of sycophantic "how does it feel..?" Dave Clark.

As soon as Sid Waddell died he was Taylors best friend again despite a major falling out two years ago, when Sid had the shocking impertinence to criticise him.
How dare he?

Now I read about Taylor being found guilty on indecent assault charges a few years back.
His wife stands by him only to be dumped a few years later when he shacks up with his young keep fit instructor.

While I'm in full rant mode - Would Dave Clark be capable of conducting an interview if he was banned from using his stock opening line: "how does it feel..?" Or more accurately "how, how, how does it feel... ?"

Looking like Taylor is considering retiring on sky news. Says he'll go out on top. After his antics last night and what I've read on darts fan pages on Facebook and twitter my already low opinion of him has sank through the floor. MVG for the title.

Taylor seems to have been viewed through rose tinted glasses for too long, people happy to worship regardless because of his darting achievements.  

Now he isn't the Goliath he once was and he's no longer on a 'pedestal', the masses are now seeing him for the person he really is.

He's not the first in recent years, look at Tiger Woods.

I rest my case, now where is that green shirt of mine......?
