    While Helen is indeed great, let's not forget that you still have to put up with the commentary of Greeny and Vassos... :o:o:o

    Just watching the Darts Extra program on the beeb. The opening credits / titles contain some silhouettes of some of the players, I can make out Wolfie, Tony O'Shea and I also think one of them is Ted Hankey. Now the last one looks like Elvis so I haven't a clue who that is but I'm almost certain the second-last one is none other than PDC player Dave 'Chissy' Chisnell!!!!!!!!!

    Vassos is a pain alright.

    I like Tony though despite the frequent gaffes and odd inappropriate remark:D.
    It was nice to hear him congratulating Bunting on his year and wishing him the best.

    These titles were first used for the 2011 tournament - Chizzy moved to the PDC immediately afterwards.

    He had, of course, finished runner-up to Wolfie the year before.

    Safe to say, the theme tune has about a billionth of the charm of "Cranes"... :o;)

    He's still past his prime, though. :o

    speaking of chizzy did you hear the lad presenting with Bobby George on BBC he never shuts up about him, always talking about him I was wondering what was up with that!!

    Jeff Smith is a good player for a qualifier. Doesn't seem phased by the big stage at all.

    Edit: I see he's moved back from the PDC so that would explain why he hasn't been at the Lakeside before I suppose

    Jeff Smith through against gary Robson

    Every time I've seen Robson he's thrown some incredibly bad darts

    That was an excellent third dart on the double 19 to save the 2nd last set but after that he kept missing single darts and busting awful but the better player defo won ,Jeff could win this out would be class to see a qualifier win it out

    From the look on de graaf's face she was waaayyyyy out but the ref called her dart as closer

    Nerves or not some of those darts at the end of the robson/smith game were shockingly bad.

    They seemed more interested in showing de Graaf's child as opposed to what was happening on the oche

    I know! Even though the child was sleeping it was still more entertaining than Tony Green!

    Alan Norris on the move???

    Should have moved across a few years ago, maybe after the Grand Slam win would have been the right time, probably would have made the Premier League in the form he was in back then.

    Don't know, looked like it. Not a fan of him but he played very well, good avg. and brilliant % checkout.

    Ted Hankey looks really well thankfully, hope to see him back soon.

    Still had a 94 average, Montgomery scored out of his skin and finished superbly.
