@@matthewseller3711 You can say that about MVG and Anderson, they're so inconsistent it beggar's belief?

[@BoJangles3105]

No surprise to anyone that actually knows how a dart is thrown. Duzza is a victim of his own arrogance. He's at the stage where he's being warned that what he's so positive he does is an actual fallacy. But, just as everyone reading this; he will know best and carry on as he is. Maybe he'll get lucky (99% don't) but he and everyone else will never twig it. Bo Jangles only knows not one of your so-called experts. When you have eliminated the impossible. Whatever remains, no matter how inprobable. MUST BE THE TRUTH. Fact!

[@kevinobrien479]

Jose "can't count" DeSousa leaving the 168 when MVG took out the 125.

[@BlackPawn14]

Good point. He could've gone for 16s to leave 170 or 138, or even 19s again to leave 167 or 132. It's nowhere near as egregious as his "usual" exploits, though (and it didn't matter at the end, since MvG took 125 out anyway).

De Sousa probably did a runner at school during maths lesson.

That 125 finish... that was so bloody good! I hope I wasn't the only one apart from MVG who spotted it right away. I was like "OHHHH LOOK AT THAT!!!" MVG really showed some of his true self here. Jose was able to keep up with him in scoring but not the doubles, which is where it really matters. Meanwhile, I said Cross was gonna follow Durrant out and so it proved... as soon as Wade beat an out of sorts Clayton (he's losing form rn it seems...) we knew that was it for Robert. Pressure's on for the remaining 8 from here though. Every point and leg counts. So don't miss it, folks.

[@l7767]

Cause MvG is being aggressive for himself, he's shown it way more this campaign as everyone is writing him off. Price does it to try to intimidate opponents, hence why he's had scuffles with more than a few players. They guy got booed after winning a major, says it all

[@brianhutchison1788]

Most dart players will go back to their table and move their darts case or have a drink. They do this so they stay in their frame of mind rather than watch what the other player does.

[@haydnevans2978]

@@darrenemptage5266 I get that, maybe he does it a bit too much? In every match, after every throw he drinks. Maybe that's why he's not quite the player he was when he burst onto the scene. Keeping too calm, he seems to play better when he has more intensity. Is he thinking too much about his routine around the water table? And not keeping focused enough on the board. He's a fantastic player would be nice to see him back to his best.
