I'm bored out my head watching Taylor's games now, 17-4 against Whitlock, fkn hell! Darts will become massive (even more so) when Taylor starts going on the wane as people will enjoy watching his demise, he is the ultimate sports man for me, just so fkn good!

darts died when they took the bevvy away

Taylor strutting his stuff on the way to the oche, looking as confident as ever.

Really hope Barney gives him a game. I like many people gave him a hard time when he wis playing sh*te but we now know the reason for that. Am behind him now.

Also, the blonde thing walking him down to the stage is unbelievable.

[E-P-K]

The way he has been behaving round the walk-on girls, he is either pumping them, or thinking he can get in about them, probably the later.

Actually a decent final, Barney missed 2 or 3 great chances to make it an epic final.

Aye he just missed that little bit extra needed to really challenge, there was 2 legs in a row on Taylor's throw that he needed to check out 135 and 106 with Barney waiting on a checkout.

And he dually checked them both out, they 135 being a kick in the jacobs as Barney was just on 24 to make it 10-9.

Aye it was a better final that I expected, Barney had his chances as I felt Taylor wasn't firing on all cylinders. Just getting so bored with Taylor now, I don't even want to watch him play any more as you know he's going to win.

Could Taylors dominance be the death of darts after doing so much to bring it along? Probably not but I know I'd prefer to see others win.

When Taylor retires, in 5 years when he is 55, according to the man himself, I think darts will get even more popular with several players having genuine chances to win the majors and tournaments being far more open.

But Taylor will probably keep going until he has 20 world titles and another couple of million in the bank.

Over the last 12 months he has earned over £1 million in winnings alone,

Cheers never knew it was on tv

Aye, the way SKY talk its as if the season stopped on Sunday and started again with the World Champs.

Seems like a decent crowd, darts defo doing well just now.

[maraDONa]

Didnt relise there was darts on till 10.30.

Coverage was awful, quite often didnt see the darts land, totally missed one of Klassen's finishes. There was also about 2 mins were the scores werent displayed aswell. To top it off the game was sh*t aswell.

I must just have been spoilt by sky's coverage!

I will never complain again about Sky's coverage after that performance by Bravo, what a shocker, I had no idea what was happening!

[johnharper13]

I'd rather have dodgy coverage than no coverage

[TimeBandit]

ADA's start next week (gets earlier and earlier) anybody playing?

Sky had similar problems with the score in the final but I agree they are missing loads of shots.

Cracking match there with Baxter, so much better than the Walsh Klassen one earlier. Missed the Whitlock one.
Lots of 180s and generally pretty good on the doubles.

Again tho finding it difficult to watch it on Bravo, loads of times say Baxter would be going for say double top, miss it, the camera would go back to his face and would only just catch the second dart landing. Was a bugger to watch, why not just keep the camera focused on double top?

As I said grat match tho!

Taylor wins final 11-1.....Jenkins apparently pushed Taylor close in the semi final.
