    Ya I do feel for him alright, he's clearly uncomfortable every time he's in front of the camera.

    He did use this as an excuse for his bad behaviour on stage at the worlds a couple of years back against the Japanese player whose name escapes me.

    Drives me mad when people use mental illness as an excuse for acting the pr**k.

    Think it was Asada and yes it was poor, but it still can’t be easy for him in front of the camera

    I enjoyed that match but it is still sad to see how MVG has regressed.
    It used to feel like you were watching something special when he threw darts.

    Bit weird to be looking forward to the semis of a major on a Monday night!
    I'd like to see de Sousa win, wouldn;t be big fans of the other three

    I see the bookies have DvdB favourite at 15/8 - Wade looks a great price at 11/4

    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.

    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.

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

    Edit: Finding his composure in those last two legs

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

    £65k for runner up is not a bad chunk of change

    £125K very very nice

    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'.

    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
