PDC World Darts Championship

[skel1983]

I'm having a 'score' on Simon Whitlock at 14-1. Taylor looks out of sorts at the moment, but never write the fat koont off.

Potential winners:

Taylor
Wade
Barney
Lewis
King
Webster
Whitlock
Anderson

He has about as much chance as Hammer.

For me Taylor over the longer format will win this comfortably his averages even tho9ugh been poor by his standards still shit on everyone elses, the events he has been loosing at have mostly been short sprints the World Champs he will come through I think.

I don't think Whitlock is in the same form as last year, Barney is not at his best either but I wouldn't write him off.

Taylor for me if not either Wade or Barney.

Holy shit I just watched BDO darts for first time

Number 2 seed went out averaging something like 81 . It was pathetic. I swear I could have taken 1 set off either of them in best of 7. The darts weren't sticking in board either and dropped out about half a dozen times - once crucially.

Thats it - I won't be watching again

That was Big H's tip Kellet. The BDO no.2 just got mullered 4-1 by a guy averaging 79

BY the way Big H, what happened to your man Chisnell? Last year I remember you predicted he'd be Taylor's biggest threat in the future. Been seen twice since then - couldn't get out the group stages in the Grand Slam and just got knocked out the 2nd round playing like a complete cunt

Is Wolfie still in it? The big daft hairy bender.

[1-hit Wonder]

Wolfie's still in it Skel. Beat Walton in a cracker yesterday. Went to sudden death in the final set. Both averaged over 100 by the way so enough talk about the BDO being shit.

Whitlock never won the BDO title yet competes well in the PDC.
Barney has done ok since moving over as has King who has always been a bottler and continues to be.

Personally I prefer the BDO. The standard may not be as high across the board but who really gives a fuck ? I mean its still just men throwing pointy things at a board when it comes down to it. I mean at least the crowd arent a bunch of drunken shits who feel it necessary to shout and scream the whole match and generally act like punks, especially towards the foreign competitors. The way they boo people pisses me off aswell. The atmosphere at the Lakeside seems a lot more respectful of all competitors and only feels the need to cheer when someone actually does something rather than produce a constant wall of noise. Also the sky commentators piss me off. Especially that Geordie fella, fuck me he's annoying.

[Fenster]

They (wolfie/walton) didn't average over 100. They both averaged 92. Which is very good but compared to a 100 average looks mediocre.

Whitlock has improved massively in the past two years. He was a part-timer in the BDO and still made a Lakeside final. He himself says he's improved massively because of the full time practise and British base. He is still yet to win a PDC major though like King. Another player that says he improved massively when making the switch to the more professional PDC.

[Fenster]

I'm not knocking the BDO, clearly a few of the top players could compete in the PDC, but two of the last 16 - Bunting and Green - were both PDC players that switched back to the BDO citing the PDC tour is too strong. They are now 6th and 7th in the betting for this Lakeside title

I hoped you'd forget the Chissy thing To be fair I had only seen BDO darts for years becuase I didn't have SKY. Thankfully I do now

[Fenster]

Fair play mate, I remember thinking you haven't seen much of Wade, Lewis, etc (yeah even "bottler" Lewis ) at the time.
