Darts - Phill Taylor

[Subby]

got humped again last night

looks like his dominance is on the wane

[Shaggy]

Lost 8-3 to that knobhead Manley didn’t he?

He is on the wane and it was inevitable sooner or later, but this format in the ‘Premier League’ is **** and not a true test. You often get some funny results. I still wouldn’t bet confidently against him in next year’s World Championships.

[Darth Marty]

afraid so, id say he has a few majors left in him but once his unbeatable aura goes theres usually no way back. Great guy, best dart player ever.

[johnp]

One of the lads in work said he's got new darts and is altering his throw.
I'd say that has something to do with his form.

[Dan]

I won a tenner on him playing ****e once

Remember that Marty? huh?



He's losing it I'm afraid, played Jenkins last week and couldn't get a look in early doors

[Matt]

I'm no darts fan but I did hear a couple of years ago when he was playing ****e his excuse was that because he'd lost weight and so wasn't quite the fat ****er he used to be, his balance was off and he couldnt throw properly.

[Joe King]

Premier League Darts is a joke. Why do they have too many crappy tournaments throughout the year is beyond me.

[andyinswinton]

He's got new darts and had his eyes zapped because they were going. He is definately on the wane but thats only to be expected. He isn't getting any younger and there are also a lot of very good players coming through.

As for the Premier League, I went to Manchester last week to watch it and thought it was excellent. By taking darts on the road like this, it gives the sport more publicity and allows the fans to come along and watch it who can't usually get to the main events. I think it is an excellent idea.

[The Glove]

Taylors form has been dodgy for a while now. He had a shocking World Championship. Dartitis is kicking in just like Bristow.

[Scratch]

Wow...just watched Taylor beating Barney 8-3...wow...what can i say...

111 three dart average
Checkouts of 121, 121, 144 and 167...

And this after he destroyed Mardle 8-0 last week, and blitzed the field over the weekend in a non-televised event, finishing with an average of 107...

People, I think the real Phil Taylor is back. He's got new darts, and by 'eck, i think he's just worked out how to throw them!

[andyinswinton]

Thats got to be one of the most impressive sessions of darts ever by Phil Taylor tonight.

Absolutly stunning darts tonight and very nearly a nine darter.

[Scratch]

Poor Barney, he looked shell-shocked. Hung in there early doors with Taylor, who was averaging over 120 for the first 4 or 5 legs, and then he couldn't keep up the pace, whilst Taylor just kept on going.

Fingers crossed that this isn't just a false dawn, and that Taylor can maintain this form for the foreseeable future, cos with the amount of work and practice Taylor puts into his game, and the respect he shows his opponents (those that deserve it, at any rate) there is no one out there that is more deserving, in my opinion anyway.

[Darth Marty]

I agree, Taylor has earned the right to be a right arrogant, cocky *******, however he always comes across as respectful, humorous, well mannered and generally a good guy.

I sincerely hope he wins at least 1 more world championship and should he play like he did tonight I have no doubts he can do just that!

Respect - Mr Taylor

[Chris]

The best darts Ive ever seen last night, incredible.

[Shaggy]

The best darts Ive ever seen last night, incredible.

Came here to post the same thing.

Never seen a spell of darts like that before and I've been watching since the days of Old Stoneface, Bristow et al. SENsational.

Those last four legs were as if a robot was chucking the arrers....just perfect darts.
