I'm sure your argument would hold more water if Taylor doesn't give a rat's **** about major tournaments and is just in it for the money now.

As I really don't think that's the case, then your statement is a huge pile of horse ****.

,I was being sarcastic.As it happens I am a big Taylor fan.Whether people like him or not it cannot be argued he has brought a big dimension to the game.

I think you meant to say that it cannot be argued that he hasn't brought a big dimension to the game.

Apart from his undoubted talent, the biggest dimension he has brought to the game, apart from his gut, is the size of his head.
He's lovely really ......
I especially like his mock humility when he loses, rare though that may be.

True, but I think folks know what I meant.

Although ,technicaly speaking I could say "Taylor has brought a big dimension to the game." and you couldn`t argue with that,so maybe I was right in the first place.

World Championship draw on now. Nicholson v Stompe the pick so far

King v Winstanley looks a hot tie.

Came back from the tournament at Butlins yeaterday and the standard there was fairly poor and does not bode well for the Worlds.

Great weekend, though the real star was not on the oche and even the Madness tribute band playing after the darts had to cope with JESUS chants between each song

"Stand up if you love the darts"

If those braying morons really loved the darts, they'd deign to give the players a bit of shush when they're throwing. Save it for the breaks, if you absolutely must.

Gutted that Kim Huybrechts lost last night. It won't feel like christmas without gratuitous close-ups of his missus. Ah well, Google image searches will have to do...

wish van gerwin lost god i hate that kid
