    Jose is great entertainment

    When he gets into his groove, he looks so relaxed

    I feel bad for Part. The camera angle and navy shirt/black pants combo don't do him any favours

    De Sousa is some player almost nerveless and Dmitri proving here hes no flash in the pan are we seeing the beginning of a changing of the guard in darts?

    Wade still plugging away in this but he's not threatening Dimitri's throw.

    Delighted for De Sousa, he's a very good and likable player.

    And he actually sounded like a normal person in the post match interview
    Amazing what a smile can do

    Dimitri will be kicking himself after that

    Fair play to Wade though, he's a grinder

    It was the ultimate Wade performance, he keeps plugging away and putting his opponent under pressure. I think Wade has slightly upped his scoring game this week which has helped him make the final.

    De Sousa is clearly the better scorer of the two but Wade won't let him get away with any miscounts/missed doubles so I think Wade will sneak it in another epic.

    Jose bottling it like he did against Peter Wright in the Matchplay

    1 thing Jose doesn't lack is bottle. If he outscores Wade he will win easily

    I'd love to see Jose win, but I think all the stats point to Wade

    He's getting his 180's but making a mess of his finishing so far

    Edit: Finding his composure in those last two legs

    10 of the last 14 legs for Jose, surely he'll kick on and win it now

    Wade just too many 60's, 100's not enough for Jose's 180's

    De Sousa does it, he deff wasant one of the favourites
    Great final

    Well done De Sousa.

    Is there a worse loser in the game than Wade?
    I used to like him but he's miserable now.

    Wade has always been a sore loser.

    Turned his back on de Dousa there at the end.

    Delighted for 'The Special One'.

    In fairness to Wade he did an interview afterwards and gave credit to Jose

    Had the match recorded. Brilliant from De Sousa and a great 158 to win it. He thoroughly deserved and outplayed Wade, particularly with the scoring.

    He's a very likable player. Delighted for him.

    Great stuff from Jose, heavy scoring wins the day, not to mention some great finishing
    Interesting to see if he carries that form into the Players, and maybe beyond into the worlds

    I feel a bit bad giving out about Wade given his issues, but feck me he is a terrible loser

    Can't see any reason why Jose won't continue this. It wasn't a fluke he has been playing unbelievable darts all year. Looking forward to Friday now
