Fuck me, I even lost money backing the highest check out on the game, obviously wasn't blotto much

I've had a bet on Nicholson so was expecting Stompe as his second round match. I'll settle for dodgy barnet Wright

Adie Lewis played unbelievably well considering he could hardly stand up before the game, due to having serious Flu.

Tony Eccles had a 95 average after 8 leags and had miised about 18 darts at doubles lol. Hit a 180 in each of the first 6 legs he did.

I thought Lewis got away with one last night. A few doubles here and there cost Eccles that match (amongst the hundred he missed).

I think Lewis is the most overrated player in all of darts. Apart from the odd freak result he is a proper bottler.

One thing I have noticed this year is the guys who get to the prelim round have some weird throwing techniques. The Filipino guy on Thursday was blocking off his right eye with the flight and just sighting on his left eye. And being tiny, seeing him trying to get the darts towards the top of the board was quite funny, he was practically full stretch.

And last night then there was a Finnish player who was tickling his forehead with the flights before each throw.

Now that I think about, Mark Hylton, who knocked out Steve Beaton on Thursday also had a weird technique, he seemed to fade away down and left as he threw.

Lewis is my favourite player to watch, coz he's such an enigma. He has so much talent, but he aint got the temperament. After beating Taylor on TV, maybe he can move forward and stop bottling it on the big occasions. His scoring power is probably second only to Taylor.

Whitlock is the otehr guy I love watching. His finishing is probably the best I have ever seen in over 25 years of following darts.

I think his form since he lostade is not great if everything clicks like you say he is a big player but I don't think he will win it.

Haven't watched much so far but what I have watched the doubles have been awful just watching Dennis Smith before haha wat a bottle job havent seen him on tv for years he is so fucking slow and ugly as fuck to add to that!!

I think it took him 18 darts before he hit a fucking double, still think Taylor wins.

Lewis scoring is awesome but I don't agree it's the most powerful. Gary Anderson's treble twenty hitting is brillant when he's playing shit. When he is on form it must be the greatest ever in the history of darts. His averages are always high even though he misses a thousand doubles every match. Like Lewis, unfortunately he is a bottler when under the cosh. Always doing dough on him

Who saw Lloydy punching the board? That fucker is always blotto.

Recentley got my Sky Box and did watch some classic darts via the red button.

A few of my mates go to these tournaments just for the atmosphere/pissup and assure me it's a brilliant day out.

Would actually go if ever back in UK when it's on.

Might start getting into it as it goes.

Well FINALLY he's won something.

In the battle of the phenomenal scoring bottlers Lewis came out on top. Like I said earlier, Anderson ALWAYS scores brilliant and therefore always has impressive averages but it doesn't mean a thing if you miss a million doubles.

If I was gonna be a bitter cunt about Lewis win () - I would point out he won this comp without meeting Taylor, Wade, Barney or Whitlock. He basically beat a bunch of players that he is used to beating. Like I said, Anderson has a shocking record against him. Whereas Lewis has a poor record against Whitlock, a SHOCKING record against Wade, who is his daddy, and has beat Taylor once in a thousand goes.

Kellet is still around 4/1 for the Lakeside. Great odds if you think he's a cert.

I'll have Scott Waites. After coming through the Grand Slam field (how did Wade ever let him win that final) this comp looks like a Pontins pro/am. 90 averages look like stunning darts in this. And these guys get to throw in relative silence.

Waites needs to make the witch to the PDC.

Playing in silence always used to be the norm, but it's fucking boring now. Listening to the crowd when every dart of Lewis' 9 darter went in was half the excitement.
