Very rarely see someone split double 5. It’s not in a bad place. If anything it would be a 2 for double 4 anyway I would say.Quote:

Nervy first set. Could have went either way really.
Outstanding 148 from Wright.
Both players nervous as ****.
2-0 Wright
2-0 Wright, 124 to win the set - outstanding.
Old addage but if you cant hit your doubles youve got no chance. Dont know where Smith has left his but he hasnt brought them to the oche hes in big trouble if that continues. He's been right on it all the way through the tournament too, big match nerves I guess.
Wrights timing must be hurting Smith but probably not as much as much as Smiths doubling. You can see it’s already playing on his mind.
mon snakebite wrap this up by 9:20pm so i can get to asda
167 michael smith yikes
Sensational 167 from Smith.
Just warming up. The standard will be flying shortly.Quote:

4-3 Smith.
Not looking good at the moment.
4-3 Smith
Not a hope in hell Wright is winninng this from here , Not a chance
Smith seems to be hitting 140 at least every 3 darts , You can't live with that

Anyone else annoyed at the Wickes adverts. There's one where he fits a panel around a pipe and it's soooo squint.
Think I need to let these things go 🤣
Wright needs to come out firing next set. Smith will falter nearer the line if he keeps in touch.
4-4 say what you want but Wright has baws the size of church bells !
4-4!
Nah you should not have went for the bull Wright !
wright blows it yet again
5-4 Smith.
Looks ominous now.
Poor decision making from Wright. Trying to land the big fish for show and it's cost him the set.
Big baws there from Wright, amazing
that's better 5-5
5-5!
Cmon Peter win this. I like Smith but these English dicks do my box in.
6-5 snakebite
6-5 Wright!
Superb from Wright.
2-0 wright
this will be 2-1
wright to throw for the match
Well done Peter Wright
snakebite wins :thumbsup::thumbsup:
and i only lost £6 ;)
Yaaaaaaas 7-5 Wright. Get in there.
Incredible darts to win, he was down and out.
Worthy winner....but I had a score on Smith at 33's.Quote:

That was absolutely amazing. Honestly thought he’d chucked it and was going to lose 7-4. Incredible stuff and proper silenced that crowd.
The crowd have set the narrative in a few of the sessions I’ve watched, it’s not been great at times.
Couldn’t believe how quiet it was on the championship dart.
Crowd got bored and hungover by the end, and weren’t interested in the most exciting part. Embarrassing audience for a worlds finalQuote:

Some stats for the last 10 legs amazing under the pressure and crowd noise
Delighted for Wright, but feel for Smith he seems such a top bloke.
Yep horrific crowd. PDC need to do something about it but will be difficultQuote:

Guys lobbing drinks at the players, rampant xenophobia (witnessed again at Ally Pally this week) and more cocaine than that scene in Scarface.

It's been allowed to go on for years so it won't change.
The Premier League night in Glasgow 10 years ago saw drink and coins being thrown at Adrian Lewis when he was playig Anderson (a game Anderson later admitted to chucking due to the crowd behaviour) and I'm sure Taylor was also spat at the same night.
The idiots provide the dough so the PDC and the players will put up with it.
Yep I’ve always avoided the Glasgow events as suspect I wouldn’t enjoy the crowd/atmosphere. But this year was the worst (in terms of how I think k would enjoy being there) I’ve seen the worlds by a stretch.Quote:

Ingliston was 2009. I can't remember any bother, I just thought they deemed it a crap venue.
I went there for the players championships a good few years ago and it was a bit naff.
Apparently there was fighting outside but I certainly didn’t see any. The noise that night was deafening. I’ve been to Newcastle a few times and also Glasgow and while the crowd was loud and boisterous there was never any sweary songs and certainly no songs based on where a player came from. That won’t be the case this year though, all the non English nights will see the English players get it tight.Quote:

Wes Newton went to the BDO before it collapsed, long gone are the days where he was a handy operator in the PDC.
Apparently the delay in announcing the premier league line up is that they’re hoping Sherrock gets her tour card, they want her in this year but she needs to get her card first.Quote:

Pretty brutal stuff. Menzies makes me nervous watching him, all these quirks and twitches.Quote:

I know that James Wade has had his issues that are sometimes not his fault, but along with Gerwyn Price these two guys seem to be the pantomime villains of darts. If Price has an early exit along with Wade,then the tournament will be all the better for it.
Cross and Williams game was top drawer. Luck of the draw against Williams for now, until he can get up the rankings. Lesser players than him will make it into the next round. Best game of this year's competition so far.
Gabriel Clemens v Jim Williams was a classic.
Williams was 3-2 up but Clemens was brilliant towards the end and won 4-3.
Yes it was a better and was a fantastic comeback from a very difficult position so hats off to him. Got to feel for Williams though. Did very little wrong and played an amazing match.Quote:
