World Grand Prix 2011 Draw

Van Gerwen is too fond of the gargle by all accounts.

So is Wade and Part but they have still won countless titles with the PDC, because of their talent. Van Gerwen was a big fish in a small pond with the bdo, now he is a very small fish in a big pond with the PDC. He has gone from whipper to whipping boy. If ever there was an example of the huge difference in class between the PDC and the lesser organisation, the bdo, it is the young Dutchmanā€¦

Wade and Part can handle their sauce, Van Gerwen clearly canā€™t.

Flano, a blind man could see that Van Gerwen is clearly out of his depth now.

Which Phil Taylor is that? Is it the convicted sex offender or a different one?

Phil Taylor 15 times world champion.
Phil Taylor winner of over 150 professional tournaments.
Phil Taylor runner up in BBC sports personality of the year 2010.
Phil Taylor MBE.

That Phil Taylor.

Twice mate. Twice. Still a decent record in fairness.

Correct. Phil Taylor has won 2 World Championships. In fact, it should only be 1 but for Mike Gregory losing his nerve that time.

Taylor was in the bdo briefly and in that short space of time won the first of his two titles there beating the most successful player in the bdos history, Eric Bristow, in the final. Taylor in fact drubbed Bristow 6-1 in that game. He soon realised that the real competition and the future was the PDC. Any player worth his salt in the bdo has left for greater competition and the greater prestigue of the PDC - Taylor, Van Barneved, Part, Anderson, Whitlock etc. Grizzly adams thinks in his mind that he is the best player in the world but in truth is afraid of his shit and is content beating pub players like Tony Fleet. Iā€™d be confident of making the televised stages of the bdo myself FFS.

Probably the best example ever of the pressure of the Lakeside stage destroying one manā€™s dream. Mike was the Jimmy White of the oche and I was gutted he lost that final.

bobby george was more like jimmy white imo.

it is a pity to see the TFK family divided as a result of the darts civil war. this saddens me greatly.

Eh Wolfie Adams won the recent Champion v Champion clash against ā€˜Adeyā€™ Lewis despite effectively playing ā€˜away from homeā€™ at the former PDC World Championships venue, The Circus Tavern in Purfleet. Wolfie Adams is the Undisputed Champion of All Darts and has won 1 more world title than Phil Taylor.

Tony Fleet :smiley:

In fairness Brissy is the King of Darts, Phil himself would say so, and itā€™s a well known fact what Bristow thinks of the BDO. He openly called it amateur darts a few years back.

Thatā€™s because heā€™s a down and out bum and the PDC have given him a token job as a marker or something at their events. A traitor to darts.

No Dunph, Michael has to realise that any return to the BDO would be in effect finishing his career. Van Gerwen is a great talent but i remember been at a pro tour event in Killarney and Van Gerwen was twisted at midday. so i would agree that he would want to cut down on the drink. A fantastic talent though.

He was a founder of the PDC you fool.

Part coming back from nowhere to take the lead against Lewis.

I hear that Sid Waddell (the darts commentator) has bowel cancer. This could well be on the forum some where else. The curse of the darts commentator strikes again.

great comeback from part. One of my favourite players

I find Part fairly boring to watch but he is one man who does not give up and shows the experience of winning 2 world titles, Barney for one could take note of this.
