I remember MVG calling Peter Wright a clown a few years ago.
Who's laughing now!

And now for Fallon to be included in the Premier League!
She'll be a contender for sure.
Has to be:
MVG
Price
Wright
Cross
Aspinall
Anderson
Gurney
Smith?
Lewis?
Humphries?
And the contenders..

Only 9 players in the prem league this year + the contenders each week:
MVG
Price
Wright
Cross
Aspinall
Anderson
Gurney
Smith
Durrant
Would be my guesses. Fallon will be in the contenders with I'd imagine the likes of De Zwaan, Dobey, Humphries etc.

Not a fan of having contenders playing for nothing, what's the point of that?
I don't either. All a joke because Anderson pulled out of the PL last year and theu needed to fill the space.

Mardle giving away that Sherrock is a contender before it's announced later this week lol

Yeh, Barry'll be having words later!

Nice win by Wright, love his flamboyant style ie hair and clothes he wears.
Glad he won the final, fully deserved.

Well that was that, see you all in 3 days so we can laugh at how poor the BDO is!
Phil Taylor may be coming out of retirement.. let the name dropping begin!
I was sceptical about the Contenders last year (particularly because it was used to replace a player who had qualified based on ranking rather than wildcard and hence IMO should have been given to the next highest ranked player rather than another glorified wildcard). However it actually worked out better than I expected, created a good atmosphere and a few close matches. The moment Sherrock beat Mensur I knew they would bring it back as a way of getting her involved without the embarrassment of picking her as a wildcard and seeing her get thrashed every week. The advantage of the Challengers is they can cherry pick local heroes for each event so you have Scottish, Irish, Dutch, German etc players in their countries and then where appropriate English[wo]men from the region to boost the atmosphere. Of course it isn't 'fair' on established pros who miss out despite being ranked higher but the whole PL system isn't 'fair' given it has wildcards already, you just have to accept it for what it is.
I had considered an alternative where you would just pick 8 challengers and make them play a qualifier event and the winner gets a full PL place. But that wouldn't give the same buzz as seeing a Dutchman in Rotterdam or a German in Berlin - which is also a way for the PDC to try and continue to grow overseas.
Whether you like Barry Hearn or not he is doing what it takes to drum up interest, money etc and that's the PDC perogative.

Anyone watching this? The lighting is awful, the sound is awful, the crowd are basically in the dark and the matches are pretty poor too.
