In fact mate barney is already confirmed The competitors were announced on 1 January 2014 following the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship final, with the top four players from the PDC Order of Merit to be joined by six Wildcards.[3][4] The tournament format is identical to that of 2013, whereby after nine weeks the bottom two players are relegated. All players play each other once at that point. The remaining eight will then compete against each other in the final six rounds for the play-offs places. That seems a lot of wild cards!

Fantastic from Barneveld. But Bunting looking more and more impressive every time i have seen him.

Yes - superb. Outscored this evening and against Lewis - but when big darts are called for Barney knows how to throw them. Will Taylor be so generous? MVG certainly don't be!

Done £50 on each player winning 5-4. Congrats - what have you won? Thank you. £375 returned. Gutted van Der Voort lost due to doing £20 eway at 200s as I could have laid some off in the semis had he have made it.

I don't think MVG anderson is a forgone conclusion No - Anderson has a good shout. He's an awesome scorer - but his issue with doubles is a real one. And it's something you can't afford to struggle with when you play MVG.

Top player is Gary who I believe has not won a world championship title whereas the likes of his other semi final competitors have and as such he will need to overcome this hurdle against others who know what it takes to win a world title and all the emotions and pressure that comes with it in a tight match.
I think there's still more to come from Taylor and who will show it.
Edit - Can't believe Anderson is ahead of Barnevald in the betting.

Taylor wins everything he's brilliant When he goes out of tournaments they become more entertaining and less predictable. That's a fact I don't like mclroy he disrespects his sport and he's anti British.

Not seen any coverage over here, just read a few reports, what sort of form is Taylor in, can he regain his title...I hope so, even though he is a vale fan...

Not great - but like Barney he's winning games. And he can raise his game when the pressure is on. MVG looks, by some distance, the best. But he ain't really been under pressure yet. Anderson should test him this evening, providing he finds the doubles when he needs them. Could be anyone's title. Like you, I'm hoping for a Taylor win.

That's a fact I don't like mclroy he disrespects his sport and he's anti British. In years gone by I'd agree mate but it's not the same now. Players believe they can beat Taylor now so he's involved in a lot more good games.

Great speech from barney. Got a lot of time for bunting as a player. Found it a bit cringey to be honest. Loved the smiling barney during the game though. Sick of watching him feel sorry for himself. Long may it continue.

When he retires he'll be a big big loss to the game because the reason darts is so popular is because of him due to the fact that everyone has had to raise their game by an average of 10 points or more.

He's not as shaky on the doubles anymore.

Was cringing myself listening to Barney babbling on. It was proper cringe worthy wasn't it. I don't know a single darts player who covers himself in much glory when being interviewed to be honest,they all seem to sound thick as fuck and make themselves look like idiots. James Wade being the worse. It also pisses me off how Taylor takes the dartboard off when he wins a game,the arrogant prick should be told to put it the fuck back as there is still another game on! Hope Barneveld smashes him tonight (even though he wont)
