I kind of hate the way players start having craic with Taylor during the game. They're losing yet it's all smiles and banter. They seem to think 'well i'm not going to win this so i might as well enjoy the experience'. Maybe they're right, but at least take it seriously and give it a proper shot!

Barney really blew it last nite. Taylor was there for the taking. He just has some kind of mental block against Taylor. He missed 9 darts at a double to break the throw and go level at 4-4 and just coudn't do it. Will he ever beat Taylor again?

I doubt he will no matter how poor Taylor plays.
It seems Barney just accepted Phil was better.Since then he just rolls over after going a bit behind.

He's also always bigging up Taylor too much.The cringey speeches after some of the bigger games they've had need to stop.
At one time he was considering retiring just because he couldn't beat one player.
He's beaten before he goes up there with the attitude he's got.

I didn't have any bets on, but i predicted the first two correctly and would have had Wade down for the win alright.

It's always his game that lets me down.
Have a cheeky little bet on Taylor to win 8-1. :pac:

I bet it finishes 8-2!!!

This is great stuff!!!

It seems that interaction with the crowd has put Taylor off!! Maybe it's just coincidence, but i think it did!!

monkey9

Massive win for Lewis!! He really did need that!! Brilliant match!!

I think he was feeling the pressure a little before that.If he was comfortable I don't think he even acknowledges the crowd.
Great match,Lewis put the afterburners on towards the end.

Taylor went off the ball halfway there!...Great finish from Lewis.

monkey9

I think the top four as it is now, will be the final top four!!

It's in Liverpool next week!! I'd love to go to that one!! The Echo Arena is right beside Jury's Hotel!!!

His father died last month and his brother last year,I'm sure that's having some effect on him.

I've also picked Wade, Taylor and Lewis. Not going to pick a winner in other game.

In a separate bet I have Lewis (most 180's 4/6),
Barney (most 180's evs)
Wade v Painter (over 5.5 180's evs)

Same here.If Wade lets me down again........ :mad:
Barney and Hamilton is about as unpredictable as they come.

Lewis looks a good bet, most 180s. Gary not playing well.

I went for

Taylor, Lewis then Hamilton(+2.5) and Painter(+3.5).... they rarely take beatings though I'd have liked Hamiltons to having been +3.5 as well.
