Stick the fork in him.

Mardle is done.

Sound just like me [size=50if you replace the 180 with 140

Thanks for coming Wayne.

Nothing like a bad sportsman eh!!

Yes he lost, yes he was terrible but the other guy still won



Typical tubby Mardle if he doesnt win he sulks maybe he should change his name to Arsene Wenger

Absolutely destroyed.

It wasn't a cracking match, but my God, I'd fancy my own chances against Mardle if he's playing like that.

Think any thoughts of yet another Premier League wild card are well out of the window now as however popular he is he just is not up to scratch and his decline could be rapid and very embarrassing as he seems not to have a clue how to arrest the slide.

Aye, looks that way.

Perez will face Thornton later after knocking Gordon Strachan out.

Dennis up next...

What's all this dancing girls about on stage. Get rid. Now.

Dennis the menace is so god damn cool

Doing the maccarana (sp) to just about every theme song.



Taylor walked over Monk without having to get out of first gear, great 170 finish and did it without losing a leg.

Where now for Wayne Mardle after last nights humiliation ?

Hopefully not the Premier League.

The BDO

Walsh v Webster has been an absolutely cracking match so far. Great scoring and great finishing. Super game.

57 180s in the tournament so far...

Mardle's always been mentally soft, if you read that "year in the life of..." book he did he's constantly worrying about his form, changing his practice schedule etc.

The difference between now and five years ago say is that there are a lot more good players kicking around the PDC circuit who can take advantage.

Finally 'Game On' tonight!

Hope you had "Vaulted over the Pole" on your Sid Waddell cliche bingo card for the Kuchik v Muramatshu game

Have they no imagination surely they should be playing Japanese Boy by Aneka or Big In Japan by Alphaville for Muramatshu's walk on (or perhaps even better Turning Japanese by The Vapours lol)

Whitlock was very impressive tonight.

Was in the papers he has split from his wife and she is getting nasty about him seeing his kids etc.

Personally not good but for his darts could be perfect as could be just the reason he needs to settle over here and play on the circuit full time and if he does boy will he race up those rankings as on pure talent and ability he puts most of the higher ranked players in the shade.

Good to see the Adonis won last night.

Ive missed most of the first round matches due to work but i did read the write up on Sky text and it sounded like he had a stormer , 103 average too. I fancy Whitlock to make a big impact with the PDC next year.

There have been 2 or 3 real top quality games so far and that was one of them, bodes well for the matches after Christmas as Lewis, Whitlock, Anderson and Part especially look very well prepared and might not take out a Taylor but could well rattle the likes of Wade, King and Barney.

Anderson v Baxter in the next round could be a cracker. Doubly so (sorry) as they can both be erratic on the doubles but throw some quick high scores/ shot-outs.

Lewis & Part are on Taylor's side of the draw. Should they each get through it would be Lewis for Taylor in the quarters and Part in the semis, I think.
Could be King v Part in another quarter-final from that side of the draw.

Anderson is on Wade & Barney's side of the draw and could upset one or both of them as long as he gets more consistent on hitting doubles.
Whitlock's that side of the draw too.

Current betting is -

1/3 Taylor
8/1 Wade
10/1 Barney
12/1 Anderson
28/1 Lewis
33/1 T Jenkins
33/1 King

Do they do each-way for getting to the Final?
If so there's value on Wade, Barney or Anderson but I can't figure out which one it'll be.
