I can’t stand Anderson anymore.

He’s a moaney windbag.

Him and Barney do my head in

Think Buntz’s luck will finally run out.

Think Bunting will win this by 5 legs

Poor games competitive wise tonight.

Deeper Blue

Complete opposite to last night. Two snoozefests. You'd have to fancy Humphries from here

Can’t see past him. Wade not a heavy enough scorer, Cross too inconsistent maybe bullet but Humphries has grown some balls this year and doesn’t fold under pressure as easily L and that was his biggest weakness.

My pick for the Worlds

Sum night for one sided sporting games

Humphries vs Cross final

ThebitterLemon

Poor again from a competitive perspective .

Hopefully a decent final as it’s been a poor enough competition

Humphries on this form will be difficult to stop at ally pally.

Deeper Blue

Really good from Humphries, I think the Worlds is a big step up though and he'll have a lot of expectation on him after this, it'll be interesting to see how he does.

From an entertainment perspective it was a poor tournament for me, bar the first two QFs

US3

The Rock v Wade match is the only one of the whole tournament that had a bit of drama. There's something about humphries I can't warm to. What a player though. He usually does well in set play too so definitely my fancy for ally pally

Kingp35

Fair play to Humphries, he's throwing some serious darts at the moment.

I don't know what it is but there's something unlikeable about him though. Can't put my finger on it.

Deeper Blue

Agreed on Humphries being unlikeable, but I can't explain why either. I was shouting for Cross last night for probably the first time since he beat Taylor, which says it all I think.

He's smug or something. Any interview I've heard him it's all about him. He seems to be disgruntled that the world is against him or something
