I expected MvG to batter Bunting, but Dobey holding Smith averaging 103 to 4 legs was brutal darts as well.

[@cm93431]

He was gone the other night if maders could score well

[@anthonymatute6057]

Mvg was fire, Dobey was next level!!!

[@luckyspurs]

Not at all surprised Dobey beat Smith. 4-0 is a statement though.

[@anthonymatute6057]

THE CHAMP IS OUT!!!

[@mickcardiff3044]

You can't even say Stephen was unlucky, he was beaten up good style. Well done MVG, killer..

[@TheSatsuiNohadou]

Dobeys attitude is so clean. I like mvg, but playing / behaving wise I'm a Dobey Fan!

[@BlueHopi144]

agreed

[@GQ2593]

I'm Dutch and I fully agree. Dobey and RVB are more classy players. MVG is brute power.

[@emiel441]

The way Dobey was so calm all troughout that match was just brilliant, looked like he had 0 nerves.

[@user-ii4sk3zy6b]

[@erasmusic6042]

I would love for Gary to win this Worlds.

[@angelnope9616]

I see a 2017 rematch in the final but maybe a different outcome this time???

[@marabaggbast]

Would be happy for a Gary - MVG rematch in the final

[@SplinterCatalogue]

Agreed, roll back the years

[@vectro4284]

Hell yes, that would be great.

[@rijulgupta1597]

Gary Anderson always turns up with his best form at the palace. The old man is a living legend. Great to see him in the R16. Hopefully he reaches the last 4 at least.

[@juliantsenkov1585]

I truly believe this tournament can be the MVG's one. He looks in great form. Gary Anderson is performing great as well. I'm happy for the flying Scotsman. And what a game for Dobey.

[@WestCoastWilliam]

@juliantsenkov1585 He can only play what’s up there with him, BUT it would be nice for one of his opponents to turn up and play to a standard. He’s talking a lot of trash and so far everyone he has played has let him walk through without breaking a sweat

[@Rifi77]

That's what I thought last year too... and suddenly there was Michael Smith. I really hope MVG can win it this year though

[@WestCoastWilliam]

@Daniel-fx2xf I’d much prefer to see Dobey get it done, or if Anderson can find another gear or two, he’ll be hard to beat. Whoever does it, I hope it’s AT LEAST a contest and not a parade for MvG or whoever takes the title

[@ADAMmoor]

i am so sick of repeating myself there are far too many dutchman in this tourmanement

[@SummerSanta988]

@@ADAMmoor nothing like some Xenophobia just before bed...

[@luckyspurs]

As nice as Dobey was being, it's got to grind on Smith getting congratulated for winning a random leg by a guy who swept every set.

[@SplinterCatalogue]

Mind games🤣

[@techtipsuk]

Not sure it was mind games he was already thrashing the guy. Most of these guys will be mates.

[@AaronCraig92]

Had the same thought. If Smith didn't acknowledge it would make him look bad but man that must of pissed him off in the moment lol

[@gingerwoods616]

Yes a little patronising!

[@DissonantCat]

That's an old Phil Taylor move. I don't think Chris would do that intentionally though.

[@GretatheEvilGremlin]

Dobey, Littler and MVG playing the best darts of the tournament.

[@boom4301]

Andersons definitely in the conversation

[@WestCoastWilliam]

@boom4301 100% hasn’t even got going yet, if he steps it up a gear then he’s in serious contention and his route to the final could be pretty straight forward.

[@wingsofdivorce7606]

Littler is overrated

[@boom4301]

@@WestCoastWilliam Indeed, I’m confident he will see off Dolan. Then it will be Rvb or Littler in the quarters both of which I think he would beat. Then Dobey, Cross or Clayton in the Semi finals.

[@juddchidwick6901]

How is littler a favourite over Humphries.. Luke H second favourite for me (although tough match against Cullen incoming)

[@chrisphallheatlover9848]

Wow, Congrats to Chris dobey he was sensational today, Mvg playing at his best, When he does this he wins.

[@thev1lone936]

just sit back and enjoy the darts dobey was amazing, hope he gets through to the final

[@xtheamazingax]

If he keeps playing like this, he certainly will do.

[@BlueHopi144]

he will go to the semis with 103 average !!!

[@evilsmurf2k8]

The last 2 days of results have given Anderson a great chance of reaching the final if he keeps up his form.

[@stephencarroll9935]

Mvg Anderson final I say

MVG what a class!!!!🎉

[@modellingmisadventures]

I simply can’t understand why anyone whose job it is to put these videos up would think it is a good idea to announce the result of a key match in the title. If the PDC actually wants people to watch these highlights videos, they should respect the viewers a bit more. Imagine if on Match if the Day they gave out the result before the program started.

[@an04ker]

Or you could pay for sky

[@catbhoy]

Idiots

[@modellingmisadventures]

@@an04ker If you live in Australia these matches are played in the middle of the night so not very practical to pay to watch them live. I pay for KZbin anyway so I’m not getting them for free.

[@yarizmai-yao2318]

Huh??? 😅

[@GQ2593]

They did the same thing last year. I assume it's because spoilers in the title causes more views. Pretty disrespectful to the fans, but that's probably their reasoning.

[@luckyspurs]

1:54 That 161 out shot was so good, Gary Anderson had to congratulate it.

MvG showed that he's the only one who can play mind games and keep it up on the stage, absolutely remarkable

[@WestCoastWilliam]

@BigVuVu I mean, it was only a month ago that he played mind games against Humphries then bottled it in the final.

I also notice that this comments thread is littered with people saying the same thing. I might be a grumpy old man, but I don't remember watching the highlights of the 1966 world cup final preceded with the title "England win the World cup". PLEASE stop it.
