Wow what a performance from Eidam, ran MvG all the way.

That MVG game was excellent.

Great game. Reckon 'The Cube' Eidams missed a trick - should have called himself 'The Big Cheese'.

Going Sunday night, MVG, Wade, Barny, Bunting on same card, result for 2nd round.

MVG should win it but no value betting wise so have had a couple bets on J.Wade,M.Smith and P.Wright.Just hope taylor doesnt win it,cant knock his achievements but a horrible man!

As horrible as he may be, there wouldn't be a PDC as we know it today without him. Darts certainly wouldn't be where it is today. Sometimes you have to have a somewhat hated respect for someone.

P.s. Bold on Smith, showing signs of improvement under new management but mentally looks as unstable as a top darts player can be.

I can see Painter beating Taylor in the 2nd round. I'm certainly not a fan of Painter he always comes across as becomming angry and frustrated when he's losing but I think Taylor was a bit fortunate - which he's no doubt earned over the years that Ono was certainly not on his game as he was in the pre-elim round. I'm a big fan of Taylor but think unless he improves from the 1st round then Painter might just see him off.

Still going for MVG to win it.

Football chants also doing my head in I just can't get my head around the ones who are more interested in the chants than the actual darts going on. One of these days it's going to go too far and I wouldn't honestly be surprised to see a large scale punch up break out and interrupt the darts.

167 out, 121 to win it, a 98 + average and 3-0 sets. If judging anyone on the first round it'll be MvG who looked short being pushed to the final few darts in a 5 setter against a pre-lim qualifier also.

What was strange though was his anger towards Sky Sports in the interview, something was up that he didn't like, he wasn't bothered at all in talking about the match, odd.

I'm certainly not knocking Taylor's finishing from the 1st round, I just feel he was helped by Ono not performing to the standard he played in the qualifier. Taylor's finishing was the best on offer throughout the matches so far and he does usually step up the scoring as tournaments go on.

The only thing that concerns me is if he's reliant on 167's and 121's to win crucial legs fair play to the man but it's a big ask to keep doing it throughout the tournament. In days gone by a 121 or a 167 was just about your only chance of taking a leg off Taylor. I just feel he was let off the hook a little against Ono who couldn't finish and just feel a better player will not miss as many chances.

Don't get me wrong I want Taylor to win it but my head says MVG.

Wouldn't you be in a good place if Sammi Marsh woke up beside you every morning?

Taylor was smashed out of his nut when he was interviewed after his first round match.

Funny you say that, I don't think he's ever been a drinker or a substance user but was visibly shaking holding his darts & then slurring during his post match interview. I actually wondered whether it's the start of a serious illness like Parkinsons or something. Hopefully I'm wrong. I hope he was just pissed!!

Missed the interview, is it on You Tube?

Remember seeing Ted Hankey looking absolutely hammered and turned out he'd had a stroke.

I liked the way Michael Smith battled through a tough opponent last night.

Backed him ew at 40/1

Also done Wade at 16s

This Newton vs reyes game is awful!

not been watching he said the odds flipped massively when reyes pulled a set back
just turned on and hes about to win so he's making that up !

What's with all the crowd muffling?
