The Count Ted Wankey wants to challenge the Power to a game to decide the undisputed champion of the World

Power by plenty for mine.

That would be the biggest mismatch in world sport

Barnie 9/2 tonight worth a punt i would say...

Scared? Taylor would hand down one almighty beating in that, would be something if its best of, say, 9 sets and Hankey avoids 5-0.

If i were Taylor i'd offer a 100k purse, winner takes all and both put 50k each in. You wouldn't see Ty for dust

I'd take what the Sun says with a pinch of salt.

Anyway, it's probably the other way round. Hankey is most likely scared of Taylor.

[iHankey...splashed out £2,000 on a second-hand funeral he.

“I love the car. I am going to get it customised and maybe even put a coffin in the back.

“I’ll drive it everywhere, to exhibitions and tournaments.”[/i

What a loser.

Merv the Swerve batters Mardle 8-1.

great performance by taylor against barney 107.5 av

Sad b@stard.

The double bull finish was awesome and a nice bit of show boating to round things off. Roll on next week.

Cracking finish that one.

Mardle was awful, the first two games were decent though.

Yup...everyone turned up bar Mardle.

Fantastic 161 from Barney, and great banter between the 2.
Anyone care to admit they wrote Taylor off last year???



Not only does Taylor win the TV tournaments, he also regularly cleans up on the non TV PDC tournaments at weekends when he enters. The rest of the PDC must be mightily relieved when Taylor has a weekend off



£187,000 already this year and odds on for the World Champs at the end!!

He's in danger of looking ridiculous, it's ok milking the crowd and jumping up and down on stage but you've got to be able to back it up when it's game on, he was poor lastnight and needs to concentrate on his darts instead of all the razzmatazz. I thought he played the best darts i've seen him play in the worlds and i had hoped he vcould take that into the PL but on lastnights showing it isn't gonna happen.

I bet Taylor would give up a £s for a nine darter in the premier league

The £s that you get for hitting a 9-darter won't be turned away though.



He has said he wants to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan's 10 televised 147s.

Taylor and Van Barneveld have great respect for each other.

To get a 147 you need to make 36 perfect shots, so to be Ronnies record the Power needs to hit a total of 41 nine darters

No chance.

What a joke,mind you Taylor could give Hankey a chance by playing left handed.

The Taylor

He is champion.

Just like me.

He's fantastic Special One.



Webster last week....Anderson this?

Not really. Usually 147s have several shots in them where position is played for a general area with a variety of reds to choose from, vastly increasing the chances of maintaining position.

Personally I think the 9-dart finish is a more difficult achievement than a 147, hence why you see/hear about less of them.
