MVG I suspect. He's brilliant although he seems a bit odd to me. Can't put my finger on it but there is something a bit peculiar about him. Would like to see GAndo get a hat trick. If anyone can beat MVG it's him.
With you on this Leeds addict. Caught him (MVG) smirking a few times when Anderson has thrown poorly. Also had him at 11/2 to win
MvG just looks absolutely unbeatable at the moment. Doesn't even seem to ever have a slightly off day. And he's not even 30, could dominate for another 20+ years. It's scary.
Gonna be a procession in a minute unfortunately. Was close for a while but Anderson missed a dart for 3-1 and then kaboom. Will be over in another 15 mins.
Peter Wight said that young players will need to consistently average over 100 to compete with the top guns. I'd suggest that they need to average 108.
The standard this year was unbelievable, but I do agree with AFKA, the walk on girls had less coverage this year.
I always find the criticism of the BDO unfair & unnecessary. Every PDC world champion bar Adrian Lewis began their career in the BDO. There will always be a place for the BDO in darts, as they provide a vital platform for players to cut their teeth before moving onto the next level.

In my eyes it is marginally similar to Rugby Union/Rugby League. Both have a place in the world.

What a lot of people forget is that BDO players are not professional. They have jobs outside of darts and receive very little in sponsorship compared to PDC players. Very few BDO world champions make the transition these days as they have to forfeit their £100k Lakeside winnings if they do so and then in most cases have to pay out of their own pockets for travel, hotels, etc for PDC tournaments.

But I really want Anderson, not keen on MvG.

Outstanding
He gets bonus points for looking like Kane from the WWE
We can't even do fat sports nowadays
