Maybe so, but does tend to give him an advantage.
Then again I am brilliant at what I do, and everyone agrees with me, therefore I get where he’s coming from0 -
MVB plays his B game and Smith plays his A game, Smith has a chance. Not a great chance the way MVG is playing but a chance.0

The wife and I had that conversation last night.southamptonaddick said:Hopefully MVG has peaked and played his best game in the semi-final.
I appreciate he's probably the best player in the world at the moment but arrogance is not a good trait.
She thinks MvG is arrogant, I just see him as supremely confident in his own ability.0 -
To get to the top, of any sport you do need to have some form of arrogance/confidence. Yes some people do come across more of a bellend eg. Price, then others, but its part of the winning mentality and i am sure the top 16 all think if they play their best they win any game/tournament.0

I have met him and he is a really nice bloke. I think arrogance and confidence can be similar and he probably needs to believe it to be it.JohnBoyUK said:

Being confident in your ability is not the same as arrogance.JohnBoyUK said:

The way he tries to intimidate his opponents just makes him look like a bully.
Hopefully he doesn't get away with it against "bully boy" who seems like a genuinely humble person.0 -
MVG in all 5 games to the final has averaged over 100 including 108 last night.
That’s not arrogance, that’s a player on form.
5/2 at the start of the tournament was a eye opener. Smith needs to be on fire to beat MVG tonight1 -
His opponents try to slow him down and put him off his game and he gives some back. That is what he was doing last night. He is less a bully but somebody who doesn't let himself get bullied IMO. Smith will try to play his game against MVG and will believe he can beat him so I doubt there will be any issues like that.southamptonaddick said:

Not every player plays at 100mph and if his opponent can get a small advantage by playing a bit slower then they are entitled to do that.MuttleyCAFC said:

If "giving some back" means encroaching the throwing area that is against the rules and is intimidating your opponent.

No but some slow down even more playing MVG in an attempt to put him off his game. Fair enough I say. He knows when this is happening though.0

Any bets on tonight?
Gone with the following 8/1 treble
Win - MvG
Most 180s - MvG
Highest checkout - Smith0 -
They’ve all got an element of bully in them and use aggression as an intimidator.Mentioned it before, but always find it hilarious when they land a big score or finish, turn left towards their missus with their face all snarled up, and throw a couple of shadow kidney punches in her direction.2

I’d be useless at that being a lefty, I would end snarling at a glass collector1

When I watch MVG I am not sure what I find most shocking, this is him, he is only 33 or has only won 3 World Titles.

Don’t often agree with Mardle but as the man said, you can watch darts for the rest of you’re life and you’ll never see a better leg than that one!!!!!0

That is ridiculous0

Reminds me of when I used to play Darts in the bank league in the city.4

Absolutely unreal.0

Speechless.
I wish Mardle was as well.3 -
Best leg of darts there will ever be. Absolutely unreal. The way this is going, it will be one of the best finals ever.1

This doesn’t read particularly well eitherR0TW said:
That’s the only way for Smith.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Simply untouchable in that kind of form, his average for one of the sets last night was 128! How can anyone play against that?Croydon said:
Same here. Just don't see how anyone beats MVG when he's playing like he is atmphilcafc said:Would like to see Smith win but difficult to see him beating MVG.
But it could get interesting though if Smith can get ahead early and with the crowd on his side, some pressure builds on MVG.
If MVG takes the darts before Smith, I see only one winner.
Then again, only see a Dutch winner if I’m honest0 -
Not catching him on 180s0
