Couple of surprises, but some great darts. Wright was excellent and that burst from Wade was top notch too.

Jelle was the only player to win, 4 draws WTF 
Was something else alright, what a night although what odds on those 4 draws I wonder? Judgement/elimination night near the end of March just couldn't call it. What a night in Brighton tonight... proper darts!Jelle was the only player to win, 4 draws WTF
Just watched it. Weird with the draws- class from Barney at the end. Kim and Phil wind each other up something rotten.
The time has arrived for one player to play 2 matches and at bottom of the table it is the turn of Dave Chisnall.
Tonights matches and on account of Chizzy playing twice, no MVG:
Dave Chisnall v Raymond Van Barneveld
Jelle Klaasen v Kim Huybrechts
Gary Anderson v Phil Taylor
Adrian Lewis v Peter Wright
James Wade v Dave Chisnall.

Some night for Chizzy!
UK Open aka the F.A Cup of darts starts tonight ITV 4 or the river of streams.
No MVG, expect Wright to get his name on the trophy, if he plays like he did yesterday with a 119 avg
What a game, Hogan 10-9 Anderson
Hogan 10-6 Jackpot
All set up for Wright to win it now

Missed all this. How come there's no MVG?
Back injury, they said that he sneezed and twisted at the same time, how true that is I don't know
I'd be inclined to believe him tbh. You know how badly he wants to win every single tournament.
Mental end to the Price-White match!
Huybrechts-Norris was a belter. QFs been great so far and still got Wright v Barney later.

One of the very best if not best sessions of afternoon darts I have seen in a long time.
Wright v Barney was a phenomenal standard. As good a match as I've seen.
Christ, the winner of the final tonight will be the first new PDC major winner since 2012- (MVG and Thornton).
About time! Come on Wright!
About time! Come on Wright!
Price making a real fight of this tbf to him. Just hope Wright can make it over the line. Seems harsh they sit their partners together...
Yes!!!!!!!!
Just watched it on record and it's true nice guys can win things, delighted for Snakebite and he really has worked so hard on his game.Well done.
Steve Gerrard chants at ManchesterBarney just loves playing MVG, that table is going to chop and change something else at the half-way stage already. Position 3 -8 will switch so many times, no judgement night just week 9 next week, as for peoples top 4 choices MVG obviously a cert but the other 3 Anderson or Wright or both?, then 2 or three from Lewis, Taylor, Barney, Chisnall or Wade. Very hard to call, again well done Barney tonight, was impressed with Taylor against Wright but that was some 154 from Snakebite.
Premier League 3 arena Dublin I think, anyway 8 left and massive night for Wadey and Barney. The line-up:
Wade v MVG
RVB v Power
Chizzy v Wright
Lewis v Anderson
Wade v RVB.
Wade v MVG
RVB v Power
Chizzy v Wright
Lewis v Anderson
Wade v RVB.
Woah, 9-darter from Lewis last night.
That's the worst with these Thursday nights clashes with Europa and this week the derby, I know the record function but no substitute for live event. Anyway the O2 in London is nearly upon us so far MVG and Peter Wright then two from any for the semis lineup. Was surprised by Taylor beating Anderson then losing to Chizzy but bar MVG and Snakebite so many others with eratic form so hard to call.
Taylor last night vs MVG, he can still turn it on. As for Chizzy what a run he is on.
Yeah great from Taylor, MVG struggling last few weeks. Glad Taylor has all but made it to the O2. Final swansong? Would be a hell of a feat.
Final next Thursday and couldn't be better:
Gary Anderson v Michael Van Gerwen
Peter Wright v Phil Taylor.
Yep, tough to call. Would be happy with an Ando v Wright final, but Ando v Taylor may be written in the stars.
As you said previously could be Taylor and that final swansong, 30 years at the top final year and all that. Out of all 4 Peter Wright has been throwing some mesmeric stuff but against Taylor you just think Power has his number. Either way looking forward to it and no Europa League that day.
Yep, but if Ando clicks, he can beat anyone too. Shame Lewis is always crap in the PL. Some of the stuff he threw last night was amazing, but then he fecks it up again. Yep good that there's no Europa clash
Phil Taylor is the greatest of all time. What a legend.
All 16 weeks comes down to tonight: Premier League SS3 @ 7P.M
Gary Anderson v Michael Van Gerwen
Phil Taylor v Peter Wright.
Gary Anderson v Michael Van Gerwen
Phil Taylor v Peter Wright.
MVG 10-7 Gando
Wright 10-9 Power, Phil missed tops to win, and in 2 legs near the end missed 6 darts to win the leg

Have to feel it for Snakebite but that was the best play-offs/ finals night @ The Premier League I've seen. Well done MVG though under relentless pressure and scrutiny just ruthless.
Love that bottle job from snakebite, 7-2 up and he fecked it upJust watched it now. Six match darts...can't believe it. MVG has a mental block over him. MVG lucky on one level and looked a bit vulnerable, but he is a trooper.
Hopefully catching the darts in Dubai this weekend. Will be interesting to see how playing in an open air arena changes their games!
That's right think it starts tomorrow, outdoor arena and the flights of the darts taking their own course, not to mention the heat. Peter Wright constantly changes his darts even more so with this event been outdoors. Anyway Relfy leave us know how you get on, atmosphere and all the rest. Just out of interest are you living, working or what in that part of the world?
Unfortunately I can't make the darts tonight, tied up with work and moving apartment. Working in Oman and have been here for 2 years now. Great place and great people too. Only problem is the heat, we're heading into summer now and its already 46 degrees here today!
