    Adrian Lewis should consider retiring. He's gone out first round nearly every tournament this year. Will drop out of the top 64 next year if he keeps this up

    Clemens has never nade the sunday on the euro tour which is really unlucky.

    He came close yet again as Mensur averaged almost 104.

    Last saturday he averaged over a 100, and still lost as wade was over a 100 as well.

    Always said there were 3 types of player.

    The consistent player who does well on the floor and the tv...these are usually the top players.

    Then you have the floor heroes who win countless player champs but cannot win a tv event like white, chizzy, smith, cullen etc

    Then you have players like Ross smith, does nothing on the tour really, except does better on tv, he has picked up impressive wins and victories and huge averages on the tv, and did well here to come from 4-0 to Price who has been in awesome form recently

    James Wade is now down to 11th in the Order of Merit as of today as the 100k he won for the 2019 European championships has come off.
    Were he to win the event today, he would go back in the top 10.

    There is a lot of players above him defending big money. between now and January 1st


    Smith is defending quarter of a million at the Worlds.
    Gerwyn Price defending 110k at the Grand Slam
    Daryl Gurney defending 100k from his 2018 Players Champs finals win
    Gary Anderson is defending 155k....100k in the 2019 worlds, and 55k as runner up in the 2018 grand slam
    Nathan Aspinall defends 100k in the worlds
    MVG defends half a million from the worlds in 2019

    These should start climbing:

    Wade already lost his 100k, but is defending very little now, and with so many above him defending a lot, he should climb again
    Dimtri is defending pittance also
    Durrant defending Zero, so will make the top 10 before he starts defending.

    of course were any of the players to win the European Championship, Grand Slam or Players Champs final, it will spin things again.
    but those defending little or nothing should be the big movers.

    Is Adrian Lewis defending anything of note over the next few ?

    will check.

    do you know if you removed the quarter of a million that Smith got for the worlds final, he would be 14th in the world instead of 4th.

    had a quick look.
    late 2018, and early 2019 was atrocious for lewis.

    on the plus side he is defending pittance, so were he to qualify for events, even making the first rounds he would move up. (in general)
    At Ally Pally he is defending 25k from his third round defeat....which is not much.

    he has not qualified for the slam, but is not defending anything either. However were he to qualify for the slam via the qualifier, he would earn a minimum 4k even if he finished bottom of the group.

    In the players champs he is defending a second round loss of £5k, so he could improve on that.

    Cheers. Mightn't be too bad for Lewis so , can't see him qualified for the slam tho. 14th is probably accurate for Smith now. FDI has him at 16th. I really like these rankings, they take everything into account and updated weekly

    Crowd booed and shouted when Wade was throwing and took 3 legs before Russ bray opened his mouth.

    They did the same when Ratajski was throwing and shouted when the pole had 5 match darts.
    one guy in particular kept shouting after been told to shut it and kept it up.

    Gurney must be in danger of a significant drop given the form he’s been in lately

    whilst price is defending a lot, he is capable of picking up the 100k in the slam, pc finals or the euro champs.

    Wade is defending pittance and good enough to make a couple of semis. Chizzy likewise.

    Ando is in trouble , and no way is gurney gonna defend that 100k he won on the form he is playing
    Smith is playing well, but you know his arse will fall out at some point
    Cross is also throwing muck.
    Mensur has stopped the rot but still a whack to defend.

    Ross smith just lost but made 5k, is assured of another 6k now as he qualified for the european champs, so a great weekend for him and glad too, he looks like a proper tv player, the opposite to ian white.

    another guy like Aaron monk who thought because he won a couple of events he was something special.


    Every defeat he has an excuse or cries on twitter.
    His last whinge was he was not able to "prepare" for whitlock as he expected a different player.


    how does who you are playing alter your game ?
    It dont, your darts are still the same weight, you throw from the same distance, on the same board, the rules aint changed.


    Dobey has history of excuse making. He boasted after he lost in the PL as a contender, that he had not practiced for weeks and that was his "excuse" that time.


    If you know you are going on telly in the PL and you refuse to practice in the weeks prior, then it shows what he is like.
