Davis Love III Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/darts/25286602 Pretty good article on Taylor, fairly balanced and covers quite a bit. I despise the guy but you've got to admire him as a sportsman. Indeed, it was a decent read. I'm intrigued by the comments on the latest TV deal, with Barry Hearn asking Taylor to play another five years in order to meet Sky's conditions. He touched on that also, in a Youtube interview with Rod Harrington on the PDC's Channel. In that, Taylor went a little further to say that he is concerned about what will happen to the game when he does retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Taylor's landed a plum draw in the Worlds this year. Lewis, Van Gerwen, Barney, Chisnall, Anderson, and Wade all in the opposite half of the draw. Looks like a pretty untroubled run to the final for the Power. Bottom half of the draw is where it's at this year. Mighty Mike v Gary Anderson in the 3rd round is the one I'm looking forward to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yep, that bottom half is stacked this year. Less than an hour to go and I'm buzzing for this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I'm going to hide during this first game.... After that first set, this could be a proper nail biter! Edited December 13, 2013 by The Naitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 After that first set, this could be a proper nailbiter! Thank goodness I'm wearing dark trousers. Brilliant 136 from Michels. Looked to have completely shaken Part, who had started very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 After Bob Anderson's 180 point with the finger, John Part's attachable towel is the coolest thing in darts history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Handy break of throw from Part. Should be comfortable from here, though if Michels can stop hitting the 41s and 45s you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Good game so far, Michels has flashes of brilliance but has thrown some shockers. Can't see Part losing from here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Good game so far, Michels has flashes of brilliance but has thrown some shockers. They both have. Can certainly put that down to nerves. Part is on a 90.44 average, with Michels on 83.25. But they've both had some good moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 That was dreadful from Part. Michels right back in this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Part thru but he put himself in a hole. Cracking match* to start us off. *cracking as in close run with chance of upset. Edited December 13, 2013 by meanmistermustard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Manages to limp over the line, but he got a hell of a scare in that game. Who does he play in the next round? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Manages to limp over the line, but he got a hell of a scare in that game. Who does he play in the next round? Likely to be Wes Newton. John won't play as poorly as that again. He was averaging 93 in that third set when throwing for the match. Lots of nerves up there, but that will settle him down. I can enjoy the World Championship now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
