MvG in terrific form tonight in the final of the European Championship. He averaged over 100 in each of his matches throughout the tournament.

Currently watching the semi-final and final of the World Series of Darts

 

MvG v Chisnall

Wright v Taylor

Phil Taylor has announced that he will be quitting the Pro Tour after the world championship next year

Massive news that & I think for this time he's definitely serious about it :kink:

 

Be seeing him at the Cheltenham Masters next month but I'm now more determined to get tickets to the big events than ever.

Another title for MvG as he beats Gary Anderson 11-7. He continues his winning streak.

Has a point here MvG as he says that Taylor should be retired in 2015:

No-one can stop MVG when he's on full mode.

 

 

People should realise that MvG isn't going to shake hands with Klaasen after events.

 

 

For the first time since the Player's Championship in 2014.

 

They'll be a winner apart from Michael Van Gerwen on a ITV4 darts tournament. As he has pulled out of the UK Open due to a back injury.

 

 

It gives someone else a chance. I hope Snakebite wins the UK Open.

 

 

It gives someone else a chance. I hope Snakebite wins the UK Open.

And he did by beating Price 11-6 in the final.

 

He really did play very well did Peter Wright.

 

That quarter-final match with Barney was a classic.

 

Kim Huybrechts to miss tonight's match in Cardiff against Peter Wright due to taking care of his terminally-ill mother.

Would be great to see if Peter Wright and MvG both played at the top of their game. That would be some match.

 

 

Peter Wright missing 6 match darts on double 8 to beat MvG in the Premier League Final. He lost 11-10. He was 7-2 up at one point.

Really? Wow! I meant to record this as was out but ended up forgetting, I'll search for some highlights, that sounds quite the bottlejob that does.

He completely bottled up may have missed the best chance to beat MvG. Mardle said he won't get bottleitis just before he had the darts to win and then he crumbled.

 

 

ITV4 will again be showing delayed coverage of the World Series of Darts tomorrow in Dubai.

 

It should be Lewis and Chizzy for the World Cup for England not Taylor & Lewis but most likely will be.

 

 

Good to see Steve Beaton win his first PDC tour win for 4 years at Wigan.
