fair play lewis. best man won, no doubt 
Well done Adrian Lewis. He played proper darts there.
I think overall the PDC are the winners tonight. Real darts, Real drama.
Anderson the bridesmaid
Jesus.
Lewis deserved that.
Excellent the entire tournament.
He has improved hugely.
Looking forward to seeing Dave Clark coming on to do the interviews and get roundly booed by all.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Why would you look forward to that? Are you 16?
Gary Anderson.
Sad to see the BDO crowd coming in trying to rain on our parade. I suppose it’s an inferiority complex. Hard to blame them really.
Anderson at least is an alright sort and still has the all round class as a person that all BDO players have. But Sky are more interested in getting Taylor’s mug on the box. :rolleyes:
What the fuck was Taylor wearing? Was he just back from a fox hunt or something?
All down to the Deller fella from whats being said.
Think you meant to write “all down to the dealer fella”. Lewis knew the omens were good for him when he saw all that white powder falling from the sky before Christmas.
That doesn’t look anything like Lewis.
Even if he is shoving a cocaine egg into his gob.
Can i just say, what a success this tournament and this thread has been, 40 pages says it all. We will miss the darts action now that it is gone, there will be no arrows action on the box again until February. All that is left to say is roll on the premier league and of course god bless the PDC and Barry Hearn.
Martin Bigot Fitzmaurice shows the small minded nature of the BDO:
[size=“2”]What do you say to sceptics who suggest darts isn’t a sport? [/size]
[size=“2”]People who are sceptical have never been to the Lakeside or seen a major darts tournament. [/size]
[size=“2”]They see the drinking, smoking, the cloth-cap image, but it’s not like that at professional level. [/size]
[size=“2”]In some countries, it’s recognised as a sport by the government. [/size]
[size=“2”]Here, I think it’s just snobbery. We have the world champion men’s and women’s teams. They came home to a cat and dog, while the rugby players are on a different planet. [/size]
[size=“2”]Hopefully, one day darts will get into the Olympics. I don’t think we’ll reach the situation where you get million-pound tournaments, but there is scope for a great deal of improvement. [/size]
[size=“2”]I’m also chief executive of the Players’ Association, and we try to explain to players that they have to act like professionals. [/size]
Yeah Bigot, not in that cow shed set up you’re involved with.
