what a checkout to win it!! Unreal darts player - they'll have to wait for his glimmers to go before anybody can beat him

Mutley we're going to have to get in the crowd for the darts on the telly!!! Everyone's pissed!!! Wahay!!
We'd definitely enjoy that, it's not even in doubt!!!!

Enjoyed that tonight even if it was not to close taylors still as good as ever

Phil Taylor has excelled in his field more than any other sportsman in any other sport.Barneveld moved into the PDC & gave him a good challenge for around 18 month but Taylor worked on his game & just got bettter.
I think right now he is playing better than he has in his whole career.The guy is a legend.

In 1999 I took our lass to see the darts at Blackpool,1st game on Peter Manley beat Phil Taylor
It used to be a good weekend,semis & final (£10 & £15 when I went) at Blackpool but I think its around £30 for semis & £60 for the final now & they sell out immediately.
You gotta hand it to Barry Hearn,he said the PDC would make the game massive & he has done it.

I love watching the darts me, like. I'm rubbish at playing myself, although amazingly I once a double to win the leg for The Woodcutter in a pairs match

have to say he does diserve it more than giggs but Darts is a game not a sport.

Darts is every bit as much a sport as snooker yet Steve Davis has won it in the past.

And Phil Taylor's not exactly a personality in my opinion - all he ever seems to do is stare at the dartboard in deep concentration, pick up the trophy and then do interviews. That's it.

so i take it you have never tried to play darts,there is alot more to it than that

I thought that darts would be right up Mr Kent's street...

so did i,when i was younger i spent a fortune on pool,i spent more on it than beer cos i was crap,then i bought some darts and after that initial outlay it was free to play,mind the money i saved went on beer so i ended up pissed so could'nt throw a dart

i like watching darts but hate playing it as I am crap, like playing pool though and shove h'penny.

Are all a laugh a minute though arent they

I think freddy would be a good laugh to go for a drink with or on a boat ride

Is it only me that wanted whitlock to win? To be honest im sick of seeing Taylor winning every tournament, no disrespect because he is an awesome sportsman and personality but someone else winning once in a while wouldnt go a miss

I think theres a lot of people would like to see someone else win it Tigro,myself included,but I still appreciate the quality of Phil Taylor.



POK,you clearly have watched very little of Phil Taylor over the years,he may give the game 100% concentration,but he still interacts with the crowd during it,teases them over bullseye finishes and goes for occassional exhibition shots
He also removes the match board at the end of each game,signs it,gets it signed by his opponent & all the match officials,sticks his match darts in it and then gives it away to an audience member (usually a disabled person or a child)

POK,take it from me your talking out of your arse here mate.

I went to the Premier League in Newcastle earlier this year. Cracking atmosphere but I remember very little about the evening given we hit the peeve at midday. Ended the night doing press ups on the bar in The Loft thinking I was Oliver Reed.

I did too, he just struck me as a really nice fella - as he did last year in the bdo tournament.

John Lowe was my favourite ..I don't like Phil Taylor there's summat about him , not flash , just fkk..

Nigel Mansell was once voted SPOTY.

Nuff said.

john lowe is a lovely bloke he called in the rossy on he way to the manor club for a exhibition match he did'nt want to leave be the time he got to the manor he was an hour late

The first darts match I ever went to was John Lowe v Eric Bristow,British proffessional championship final 1985 at Redcar Bowl.
Bristow won by 6 sets to 3

I can remember Jocky Wilson in the Travellers.

He's not a well man these days.

i was in the manor that night he was class also met at las vegas for hatton/mayweather fight true gent even bought us a drink

Played Peter Manley in the Betfred shop int' town centre a couple of months ago, seemed like a really nice chap although the fan's love t' hate him.

Sh.t I seem to have adopted a Yorkshire twang.
Has the seen ar Jud?

Went to see John Lowe about 50 yards from our house, doing an exhibition in The Queen at the top of Warren Road, can't remember how long ago though. The pubs gone now, just a block of flats in its place.

I remember when i was a nipper my dad had been to a club fook knows which one. He then woke me up and said ive got keith dellers autograph for you was thinking to meself the daft bastards blaked again whats he onnabout and rolled back over.

Wasn't he a rookie one year and ended up winning the championship?
