    What planet are you on. The semi finals were 6-0 and Lewis had a 5-0 lead.

    This was 7-5 with a 100.23 average and a 99.26.

    Are people really expecting better than that in the biggest game with the most pressure in the world.

    Also the most 180's ever in the Final. I think we have been spoiled with the standard of darts

    Joins Bristow, Barney and Lewis as the only people to have one i for the first time and successfully defended. Delighted for him.

    The Future is bright in the PDC, the coming year will be epic...

    Great lineup except for Thornton. I just can't warm to that man.

    It's the right line up for the months of boring exhibition darts.

    No one can have any complaints.

    Not a fan of the premier league at all much rather the winter gardens, grand prix, match play etc , I just feel some players go through the motions some weeks in the PL

    I don't even bother with the final. It's just such a booooooooring competition, as you say exhibition stuff really.

    Delighted for Anderson.

    He a super player and super winner.

    Good final, we saw the brilliant, not so great, weird calculations and great finishes, all in one.

    He adds nothing to an already pretty boring competition. He's slow and seems somewhat contrary. Klassens speed of throw would at least complement the quick fire nature of the games. I know you could insert Taylor's name instead of Thornton's, but he's Phil Taylor.

    Hearn said that it's taken on yearly form and Thornton won the Grand Prix ,Klassens wive expecting in the coming weeks ,would have liked him there ,his form all year wasn't good enough to make it in unfortunately and that's what places are based on

    Thornton won the Grand Prix, would have been terrible to leave him out, one of only 3 players to win a televised ranking event in the season.
    Can basically take it as a given that the winners of Grand Prix, Matchplay & Grand Slam will always be in bar exceptional circumstances.

    I don't think MVG would have been too pleased if that had happened. The awkwardness on stage between those two would be off the scale.

    He owes me a few cigarettes! He used to play over here in Killarney. He is not the most open of fellows...but he's actually really nice. Had a few pints with him one year. The following year when he landed into the bar in the Gleneagle he spotted me, ran over and hugged me and gave me the whole "I missed you so much" stuff in front of my wife and friends. Gave us all a good laugh.

    he is very inconsistent for the league format plus as someone said here he is annoying to watch seems to be looking for an excuse every time he plays bad , he had an awful year getting knocked out in the first round of nearly every event on tv which is why i think an up and coming player would be better suited to the premier league ahead of him

    Don't know if it's true but the various forums all seem to point that the girl Klassen sent the indecent images to was MVGs wife's sister.

    The girl in question was Van Gerwen's girlfriend's sister.

    Who he presumably came across, as it were, through darts? Would be a pretty amazing coincidence otherwise...

    Klaasen and MVG were training partners and friends going back to the time they were starting out in the BDO.

    Nice to Anderson win it again, brilliant thrower and comes across as likeable as well (not that, that actually matters I know). Long gone are the days when Anderson threw his darts into the Lake at Frimley Green!
