It’s that time again 🎯🎄

Staying awake for the last match, KD wins first set! Could be a cracker!

this is going to be a good’un, i can feel it in my waters

my waters were wrong

Yeah KD kinda collapsed in the face of ruthless Luke.

Looking forward to the QF’s.

Luke Littler 1 v Ratajski

Ryan Searle 20 v Johnny Clayton 5

Luke Humphries 2 v Van Veen 10

Gary Anderson 14 v newbie Hood (who put out Josh Rock 4-0)

Anyone else stuck with whether to support Anderson or Hood?! It will always be Anderson for me but I really love and underdog and Hood is great!

I’m supporting Hood today! I’m emotionally invested in his chinese

I'll be supporting Gary as I've met him and he was great. I just hope the crowd aren't horrible to him in their support of the underdog.

Yeah I hope not, I don’t know how anyone could be horrible towards Gary!!

Team Gary here, I just can't support anyone else against him.

Go Gary! Hood is a bit weird!

Searle is one of those steady players. Pleased to see him do well, though I do like Clayton

yeah I was happy for either to win that game as I really like Clayton but Searle seems a good bloke too

Anderson v Hood 2-2

The crowd singing are on full cheer.

This is a good match!

Well done Gary

Well done Gary, great to see him back on form like this, what a lovely, good-natured match as well, crowd as well as players. That's the first time I've seen Hood but he's one to watch.

Yaaass min Gary!

Great match! Hood was unbelievable against Rock - when he’s on that form, he’s unbeatable!

So delighted for Gary. Really enjoyed the match.

Looking forward to tonight. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself after the final!

I always have to have a new series lined up ready to start when it finishes it otherwise I feel lost

Any recommendations?

I think we are going to start Severance on Apple TV, also love Traitors so it’s handy that starts tonight!

I wonder if John Part has a point and at least some of the crowd were shouting ‘Luuuuuuke’ which sounds like a boo? Similar to the ‘Roooooot’ chants at cricket?

Either way, the crowd doesn’t seem very hostile tonight (yet) which is good
