World Championship Darts

Great to have the women in this now!

Glad Klassen’s gone, he sent pictures of himself to an underage relative. The reason that MVG won’t even speak to him. Surprised how sweary the crowd are tonight

Really yerdad? That's terrible. I'm glad Keegan Brown won anyway.

Wow Yerdad, that's really shocking. He was a bit of a 'child' star at one point wasn't he? Love MVG, he is so passionate but also very respectful. I love it when he plays Barney. Weird without Taylor this year, and is Wayne Mardle commentating at all? Haven't heard him yet but we've been away so watched first matches yesterday.

Does anyone else have cheeky little bets? Me and DH have £2.50 each day, and a fiver on the overall winner. Not picked my overall winner yet though, usually have Anderson.

Just tuned in. Anderson's my favourite, I also like MVG, so a good evening in prospect.

Just catching up on the afternoons play - had no idea about Alan Norris's wife, so sad.
I'm a fan of Daryl Gurney but not surprised he was knocked out, he's not been on form. Glad to see Chizzy through, he could be a good outside bet.

Gary A really struggling tonight, needs to win the next 3 to stay in.

Gulp.

Phew! That was a bit close for comfort, great entertainment, I haven't seen Wattimena play before but was impressed.

That was great towards the end, edge of my seat!

Van Gerwen up next and I was planning to go to bed....

But not now obviously

I have a cat sprawled across my legs so I can't possibly go to bed .

Last day before the Christmas break 🙁😂

I know yerdad I miss it over Christmas and hate the gap between the semi and the final for new year.

Just had my little bet, wade and lewis both to win their matches 4-3. £2 wins £66 so its decent. And because its 4-3 you have something to keep shouting at the telly for.

First leg of my double in

Pleased for Wade, I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I've a lot of time for him.

Anothee good game, a bit gutted for Brown but he played very well. I have no time at all for Wade I'm afraid.

I like Wade, he ignited my love of darts about 11 years ago. We were in Tenerife for Christmas in Puerto de la cruz which is the north rather than the san antonio/los cris side. It was very continental rather than the brits abroad holiday we had imagined, and the only pub we could find that was English rather than a food place that served drinks had the darts on all week. Watched a very young wade come through then lose to Taylor in the final AFTER a 9 darter so I do like him.

We started watching around 15 years ago I think, when we first got Sky Sports. John Part, Wayne Mardle, Phil Taylor, Kevin Painter, Peter Manley. I'd love to go to it one day.

Well done Aidy

Yes, well played. I didn't like Lewis much when he was younger but he has matured and grown on me. The Beard to be Feared!

As an aside I love John Part's accent.

I never liked Part playing but I like his commentary

Reyes wasn't on form tonight. Should be some good matches after the break. Happy Christmas all.

At least the sexual predator isn't in this anymore.

@UnknownStuntman there are a lot of murky pasts in darts aren't there

There are a few yeah, Klaasen didn't cover himself with glory when sending dick pics to Van Gerwen's girlfriends sister and of course, Philth Taylor had his convictions for sex offences in the back of a campervan.

Funniest interview this year has to be fartgate you can tell darts players aren’t media trained m.youtube.com/watch?v=aarfkEPd448
