I will never deny Taylor's talent but he's also been fortunate at the level of competition in the early years of the pdc wasn't great Add the fact him and priestly shared prize money for a couple of years enabling them to give up work and concentrate on darts The likes of Colin Lloyd still had to put a shift in work before their darts That said he is a phenomal player who manages to beat opponents before a dart is thrown Pretty much right there Salop

Dont get the argument that Taylors been fortunate, theirs no doubt if the standard was this high back then he wouldnt of won as much as he has done but dont forget its Taylor who had raised the standard of darts several times. The best players who were around when he started winning and are the same age have had to give up because they couldn't live with him. He still holds highest averages records ffs. This tournament hes played about 85% aswell as he did a few years ago and still nearly won it (should of won it but for missing his doubles).

Whether you hate Taylor or not he did nothing wrong last night and lost with dignity so you pair stop looking for things that weren't there. ;D
Great match and really pleased for Anderson as he comes across as a good bloke.

To be fair mate you are spot on. When he lost the first thing he did was turn away and pour some water rather than go and shake his hand Dignity

Now Wade needs to get over the line, because he definitely is the best player never to win a World title now.

That sort of thing happens all the time. Barney does that regularly and you love him. Taylor can be a knob but he wasn't last night. They get on and it was all in the right spirit. As for you calling him a cunt for not letting Anderson throw his 3 darts again - you'll look for any reason to slag him but that's the best yet

Premier league Top 4 Anderson MVG Taylor Lewis Sky wild cards Barney Bunting Pdc wild cards Wade Huybrects Chisnall Wright Whitlock Thornton and king missing out The only one I'd swap there is Chisnall for Thornton. Glad Bunting has been given a chance and Huybrechts could being there could puss Taylor off so he'll do for me The ratio of wildcard to automatic qualifiers should be reversed

We'd need a strong branch with that fat bastard Taylor can be a prick and when he is i'm very happy to say so. A couple of years ago for example, when he beat Barney, he made a complete tit of himself and he can be very arrogant at times but he did nothing out of order last night unless you have an agenda to drive and you're looking for things to get annoyed about Great result though. I like Anderson and it will do his confidence the world of good. If Lewis can get back to his best and maybe Bunting and/or Smith can push on it could get very interesting over the next few years. You conna beat the darts.

He's out of form, has no personality and most of the time doesn't look like he even wants to be there. The quicker he does a David Bentley and fucks off the better

The quicker he does a David Bentley and fucks off the better Wade is without doubt a sour faced mard arse - but he can play. Think Thornton missing out is poor though. He's had a great 2014. Deserves to be in the mix. Far too many wild cards in this competition.
