PDC World Darts Championship

Starts tonight at 7pm on Sky Sports Darts.

Looking forward to this. Christmas has truly arrived when the world darts starts.

Actually think this is one of the most open tournies we've had in recent years. Taylor, although still excellent, is not as solid as he used to be, and MVG has gone right off the pace recently.

Wouldn't mind a little bet on Anderson at 7/1. Been the best performer by far lately and won the last major tournament in November.

Taylor hasn't performed well at all this year, but naturally you expect him to be there or thereabouts.

I watched that younger lad knock out Part earlier this evening. Pretty poor quality darts all round at this stage of the competition though.

Maybe Wade's year?

Wouldn't mind going to the Ally Pally at some point, seems like a right laugh.

MVG just went through but didn't look impressive at all. I don't think Wade's got it mentally to win the worlds.

I (nearly) picked a massive winner with Wright last year at 125/1.

My outside tip this year is King. 80/1 top price and bang in form. Let a big lead slip against Wade last month but still playing very well.

I wouldn't pick a fight with this Price lad :eek:

A few of the Welsh rugby fans on here probably know more about him than we do.

Bristow is an absolutely shocking 'commentator'.

el_dazza · 23 Dec 2014 at 23:35

My pick falls at the first hurdle. Dear me.

Shouldn't this be in the boardgames section rather than sports sections...

Don't start. If wrestling can be in here, then darts is more than acceptable.

That was one of the greatest games of darts I have ever seen!

Yeah Gary Anderson playing the best he ever as, probably.

Keegan Brown put up a good fight tonight against Lewis. I think experience and calmness put him through in the end though.

Full credit to Keegan Brown but Lewis was awesome.

Wondered how long it'd be before someone said something about this being in SA, get it in Snooker threads too.

Taylor looks like he's going to walk it, MVG looks vulnerable atm.

Great darts tonight,

Walk in the park for Taylor and Lewis looked pretty relieved at the end of that match.

Keegan Brown is a star for the future (If he can get time off from work)

physichull · 28 Dec 2014 at 23:25

He wasn't quite hitting the doubles when it counted though (Lewis). Brown was hitting them all the time but Adrian compensated through higher scoring. Good game though.

Barney

Absolutely love the guy, plays with his heart on his sleeve, unfortunately beats himself more often than not.

physichull · 30 Dec 2014 at 20:39

RvB!!!!! Great finish to a game that. Barney really felt the pressure there.
