Well today is the day I exit the competition

[Geestar]

I'm out

 

[Nathan]

Safely into round 2 for Bunting, but up against RVB next and then possibly MVG. Safe to say the Bunting will be out before New Years Eve.

 

[Official Old Man]

Out, but will still watch it. Notice Sky have a darts channel but also show it in Sky Sports and Sky 1.

[Goldstone1976]

Oh.

I'd done no more than clock that my man is ranked #9 in the world and thought "that's got to be worth a tenner", and he's out in R1. A quick look at his wiki page reveals that he's a perennial loser at the big events. Good enough to be ranked highly, but then cocks it up on the big stage: a bit like the England football team.

Thanks for arranging this @Frutos

Still recovering my voice from the other day. If you haven't been - GO

Guess its too late to enter?

Agree, brilliant night great atmosphere
First time I've been last night, it was virtually sold out when I booked tickets last month but somehow got a front row table seat and get my ugly mug on the TV, love the darts

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Great screen grab I was on camera at the Brighton Premier League night, as Wally.

Jamie Caven looked reasonable, but I still think [MENTION=15348]CAPTAIN GREALISH[/MENTION] is the man to beat. [MENTION=24564]Steve.S[/MENTION] has a chance though, James Wade is the most talented left hander ever to play the game but he needs to get the job done when it becomes competitive later on in the competition. Love the darts!

 

[Durlston]

[MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION] ending up with Simon Whitlock

I'm on to you! Im happy with Jamie Caven, the kid has a go and that's all you can ask.
[MENTION=15348]CAPTAIN GREALISH[/MENTION] is the winner though, this is Chizzy's time to SHINE. If he can get over the line, which he generally struggles to. I like [MENTION=18246]OSRGull[/MENTION] chances too with Snakebite, the man is a hero.

Gone each-way on Dave Chisnall (30/1).

Played really well in the first round and has another unseeded player in Christian Kist next. On his day Chissy can beat anyone. Peter Wright might be a danger in the last 16 but they'd all be tough opponents by then. Can't wait for Boxing Day and the resumption of this great tournament.

Quality, and watching my man winning too!

 

[Geestar]

Missing it all because Sky are absolute garbage!

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Cracking night of darts - Jamie Caven thumping some fella 4-0, and then Gary Anderson getting into a bit of trouble in the first set and facing darts for the set in the 2nd and 3rd.. but eventually losing 4-1. Quality match, the best of the tournament so far for me.

Anderson won 4-1, not lost 4-1 as per your post.

Anderson won 4-1, not lost 4-1 as per your post.

Indeed he did, I was thinking about the Irish fella. Massive shame for him, having won the first set to then have darts to win the second and third but not take either is a massive shame - but those are the margins in darts. Anderson missed a few doubles as well, it was a properly good match.

 

[Durlston]

For a Sweaty, Anderson seems a top fella. No arrogance from a world champion unlike Adrian Lewis, Michael Van Gerwen and for someone who's been an absolute legend, Phil Taylor occasionally at times. Would like to see the Power win it again and I think he'd quit if he did. Bow out at the top in style.

He is remarkably humble and grounded. I like the arrogance of MVG and Taylor, but not Lewis. He comes across badly in my opinion, damn good with darts in hand though!

I'm missing Simon Whitlock being a top player, Premier League a few years ago but generally ordinary now.

I agree Gary Anderson is a class act. I especially enjoy watching Lewis because he's a brilliant dart player but not very bright and more likely to kick off than anyone else.
