That's what I hate most about Taylor, he's got fúck all respect for other players, no matter what he says. Anderson's being interviewed, and he starts dancing around with the trophy right in front of him. Fud.

Totally agree

An incredible display of darts from Phil Taylor. (if he only he was a remotely likeable personality!)

This Grand Slam has been one of the finest tournaments I can recall. Darts is in a fine position now, and if you weren't already looking forward to the World Championship, this must get you up for it!

Big weekend coming up on the circuit. We have the last two Players' Championship events which will determine who will play at the Doncaster Dome and, of course, a clutch of places at the Ally Pally in mid-December.

The biggest name in danger of not making it to Doncaster is the reigning World Champ Adrian Lewis. He's ranked 36 at the moment and is over £3000 behind Wayne Jones in 32nd. Jackpot will need a very successful weekend just to make it.

The likes of Steve Hine, Tony Eccles and Dennis Priestley will need to pick up a lot of dosh over the two events to help their hopes of World Championship qualification. There's only two spaces available via the PDPA qualifer so the above would be wise to use this weekend to seal their place.

Oh aye, and the draw for the 1st round of the World Championships is live on Sky Sports News on Tuesday morning!

These Players Championships are getting played just up the road from me. Sadly, you need a players friends and family pass to get in. I know one guy who has one, said he would phone me today if he got another while he's in, not expecting anything though. Would be great to watch all these players ply their trade in a sports centre!

Taylor completes the weekend double.

Away from that... Ian White's 4th round appearance, coupled with how he did yesterday, means that (by my reckoning anyway) he's snatched a place in the World Championships at the last moment.

Also, I did mention above that Lewis needed a good weekend. He didn't do enough so he hasn't qualified for the Players' Championship Finals in Doncaster. Gives him a wee bit of time off to prepare for Ally Pally, I suppose.
