PDC World Darts Championship 2023

[kingfox]

Starts tonight, draw is below...

 

The depth of Darts is ridiculous atm, the top four seeds unsurprisingly the bookies favourites, but numerous dark horses could flourish.

 

Looking forward to seeing how Josh Rock & Beau Greaves get on especially.

 

Fingers crossed the chavvy crowds and their stupid chants don’t spoil it too much.

Who we all on then? 
gone for Rob Cross as my outsider but extremely hard to look past MVG isn’t it. 

[Lcfc82]

Michael Smith or Luke Humphries I’d go for.

They are due to meet in the quarters, so whoever comes through that.

 

MVG is back in some sort of form but I don’t fancy him to do anything in this, seems to put too much pressure on himself at the worlds.

Mickey Mansell's post win interview. He sounds and looks absolutely rat-arsed

Keane Barry has had a shocker there.

His name is the wrong way round tbf, no surprise he's distracted.

As an outside bet my choice would be Nathan Aspinall.

[EastAnglianFox]

Ryan Searle if it all clicks is a problem for anybody do will be my outside pick.

 

If Gary can play without any pressure then hopefully he can at least jump a few spots in the rankings as his premier league spot is really under pressure now which is a bit gutting

Darts has been shit ever since they changed the premier league format. Plus we have been deprived of Laura Woods for this tournament too. Jonny Clayton my dark horse. But here for a MVG win.

I've backed Clayton 18s to go all the way. The standard at the top is so good now experience is probably key, that and to hit top form at the tail end of the tournament as its so hard to hit ton plus averages and get your doubles consistently over such a long format.

I think greaves would be beating any other player I’ve seen so far at this years worlds

I was thinking the same thing, O'Connor was hitting the trebles with far more regularity than I've seen any first rounder so far, didn't have the usual sticky patch that everyone seems to have during a game as well.

I mean I really wouldn't personally class Clayton as a dark horse, just last year he won the Masters, the Premier League, World Grand Prix and the World Series.

I know there is, that’s not what I said.

[goody2028]

Cracking from Soutar there but Gurney miles off it.

My post was after 2 sets where she was averaging mid 90’s, she dropped off massively in the last set.

a bit like Lisa Ashton ,i thought she was favourite going into the last set

[Lcfc82]

Anybody watching it this afternoon ?

This Robert Owen is a strange bloke, no idea why he is trying to wind the crowd up.

[EastAnglianFox]

Dangerous game for Gary later, banana skin written all over this against Razma

[goody2028]

Wade out. Jim Williams 

[Lcfc82]

Jim Williams is a decent player, he’s underrated in the PDC.

Finding it harder to enjoy this year, not enough close matches compared to the last few years.
