    Different class, no margin for error. I can't but want a Taylor victory but MVG is throwing some ridiculous darts at times.

    The pressure Taylor is exerting is fantastic. Legend.

    Taylor has just broke the young lads will. Can he recover? I wouldn't bet against it but Taylor is pretty ruthless. We may see some emotion from him here. Best moment I've seen for a while was earlier when they were singing "one Sid Waddell", Taylor acknowledged them, hit 180 and pointed to the sky.

    Waddell will NEVER be replaced, matched, anything.

    He was literally the funniest man ever.

    Cannot argue with tat mm

    I remember watching Taylor play when Sid said “If we'd had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans, they'd have gone home.” Amazing! And the 3 pickled onions into a thimble was awesome

    It was a great game of darts, Taylor's experience in the end came through. Talking of funny Sid Waddell lines 'Barney in the gravy, dipping his bread dips' during 1 of Barneys 180s. Cracked me up referring to food, particularly when most darts players are fat :biggrin:

    Great game with IMO the clincher coming when the lad had the chance to go 5-2 up. Taylor knew it and his experience just ground him down making him doubt himself, pure brilliant!

    Aye spot on Derry. Think we'll be seeing a lot of Van Gerwin in the not too distant future. Fantastic talent.
    We should start a petition with the BBC asking for Taylor to be personality of the year. World champion 16 times FFS.

    Morning
    Mr R A White
    Well being a Stokie myself we watched the final at a mates house. Awesome match, great final and for me. Phil Taylor is was and always will be a legend.

    As was Syd Wadell. Just a point of note. This is the measure of Phil Taylor as a gesture, he is giving that trophy to Syd's wife. TOP men both = Legends.

    Legend is a word which in my opinion is used far to much and often when it is not warrented..However, in Phil Taylor's case, legend hardly seems a word good enough to highlight his achievements in the world of darts..
