Anderson seemed to have a steele about him he hasn't usually had. Played some great darts, and his finishing was up there with his scoring. The Taylor result was massive for him, and having to beat Bunting, Taylor and Lewis gives him a great chance in the worlds. With his recent form, is make him, MVG and Taylor the top 3.

Jason Hogg fae Aberdeen won the qualifier today to get in the world's with the wee Hong Kong lad Scott McKenzie qualifying for the preliminary round after Hogg beat him in the final.

Gary Stone hit a 9 darter and 170 finish in the same match and got beat by John Bowles 5-4!!

I think that's Stones 2nd 9er of the year and he's done f**k all in the PDC.

Ross Smith making a bit of a tit of himself on twitter tonight. Saying he should have had the spot at the Worlds as he was 17th in the Pro Tour list and that it was a scandal that foreigners were getting places ahead of him.

Only he was 19th in the final Pro Tour list and therefore due f**k all. What a div.

Was it not because Rowby John and Suljovic were 17 and 18 thus he should have been next as they had already qualified through other means?

I think it's because the Pro Tour slots take priority over the Euro Tour slots or something like that. Could also be the PDC making it up as they go along, of course. I dunno any more...
