lisa ashton's average against rob cross was 81 so i don't think the women will be a factor but 1 day i can see a woman competing with the men

[robbie9]

Wade beats White 5-4 with an average of 99.84.

Should be some good games tonight. I think chizzy and duzza to win. But who will win between bullyboy and gurney, snakebite and rob cross?

i think wright will get the better of cross, hard to call the gurney vs smith match , probably smith at a push

[noeldoyle]

I really like Gary Anderson but runs hot and cold, go on Gary

6-6 in the final. First to 11 wins. Price is hanging in there.

close game i just wonder will we see someone outside mvg/price winning the worlds this year.

The draw for the worlds was made this evening. I cant see anyone challenging mvg in the top half of the draw. Maybe bullyboy might get to the semi final. Should be some great games in the bottom half. Snakebite and chizzy are in the same quarter. Gurney and duzza in another quarter. Who will reach the final from the bottom half?

I see there are some female players in the draw for the world championship. Has that happened before that men and women have been playing in the same competition? I thought the women had their own tournaments.

[westcorklad]

Only a few days to go until the start of the worlds. Is anybody saying that mvg wont win it? He has never won back to back worlds. Who will reach the final from the bottom half of the draw?

I haven`t really taken a lot of interest in darts since Phil the Power was at his peak. Apart from van Gerwen, do you have any tips on who else might be worth backing to win the title or to reach the final?

[robbie9]

Mvg wins it 3-1. Klaasen isn't a bad player but he's not consistent enough.

i thought he had him in trouble there but those bullseye finishes were top drawer!

[robbie9]

Jeeze that was a hard interview for the interviewer to do. I thought he done very well, barney wasn't really in talkative mood. Both of them were near in tears.

He was poor , time to hang up the darts , he was a legend of the game and one of the greats.
