Darts

was well pleased van gerwen won tonight as darts was becoming like formula1 with taylor winning every tv tournament recently like vettel in the f1 winning every race!

Have to say Phil looked a bit stunned at what was happening.
An average of over 101 and he couldn't do anything to stop it.
Impressive darts by van Gerwen.

From 6-3 down Van Gerwen just played great darts, it makes it interesting going into the World Championships given the run Taylor had been on prior to this event

Impressed with van Gerwen, he seemed to do a similar thing in one of his earlier rounds, suddenly upped a gear and steamed past his opponent.

Dunno if anyone saw Sports Life Stories on ITV4 last night (repeated later in the week). It was a profile on Eric Bristow. Probably nothing new, but a nice retrospective. It made me feel that he and Phil Taylor are a bit like Steve Davis & Stephen Hendry. Taylor & Hendry might be "better" and win more records etc, but they're not as likeable.

Whenever we're playing darts in the pub my mate will always go on and on about his Dartitis...

He just can't let it go.

I don't think I'd even heard of Dartitis before I kept thinking he looked like a chubbier Jasper Carrott.

It only occurred to me this evening that Davis is in Bristow's place in the Jungle this year.

Thought this was pretty impressive :

I gather Phil Taylor's already been knocked out!

Yep he has - suprised me but nonetheless pleased, funny how he didnt ask him to sign the board - never does when he loses! I'd like to see Van Gerwen win it but reckon Lewis probably will.
