2017 PL lineup.jpg
189KB, 1600x900px
Four months of unranked darting action starts tonight with the 2017 Premier League from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. After their displays of sheer incompetence in 2016, Robert Thornton and Michael Smith have been binned. In their place are Dutchman Jelle Klaasen, appearing for the first time in 8 years, and with Mensur Suljovic refusing to fall for Uncle Barry's hype machine, Belgium's Kim Huybrechts returns after finishing bottom in 2015.

It is the Waffleboy that gets this season going as he plays bipolar James Wade. The Hurricane's season 2 years ago saw him repeatedly throw away games and picked up just 4 points in 9 matches. The Machine's 2016 PL campaign saw him be the only man to beat MVG, on its opening night nevertheless, but had no consistency as he finished sixth.

Two men who are promising to do better this year meet again in Raymond van Barneveld and Adrian Lewis. Barney's 2016 PL saw him record just a single win in the play-off phase (conveniently against Lewis) and end 7th, while the ferry lover made the play-offs for the first time since 2011 but got battered by MVG in the semi.

Imminent retiree Phil Taylor is next up against simple Dave Chisnall. Philth was dismantled in the final by the Green Machine while Chizzy went from missing darts to reach the final in 2015 to elimination last year as he was comprehensively outplayed in every match.

The hottest rivalry of the moment is next with current PL champion Michael van Gerwen against previous winner Gary Anderson; their Masters final saw a combined 213 average in an 11-7 Dutch win, and a repeat of that standard tonight would be more than acceptable.

Peter Wright and Klaasen close out the session; despite coming close to the playoffs last time, Clownman choked in his deciding match and missed out. Paedo Suarez's previous PL saw him record just one win (he couldn't even beat Wayne Mardle!) but using that as a bearing on this year is just silly.

Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports 2.

Predictions for the PL?

Winner: MVG
Top 4: MVG, Gando, Clown, Taylel
Eliminated: Huybrechts, Klaasen
>>
>>73998540

Huybrechts is almost guaranteed to be eliminated but I think Klaasen will stay up.

I have a feeling one of Wade/Lewis/RVB/Chisnall is going to have an absolutely terrible PL and be eliminated.

While I thought Blubby having to play twice on the opening night put him deeper in the shit than he already was, he never had the belief to overcome it.

>So sad that Suljovic opted out of selection, especially with how well he played last week
Mensur's done the smart thing with that: by not having to play in this, he can focus on the ranking events and not have his career ruined like Bunt Man did.
>>
>Chizzy hitting big numbers for fun again

And gender apparently.

The only change was his speed. No more slowness will objectively make him a much more watchable palyer.

It was a slog that shows why he's "retiring".

But the inevitable happened as Chizzy is too dim to remove Taylel again.

>>74000138
Ooh the joy when he's retired. Instead of:

>"There's 18 world championships between these two in the final"

It will be:

>"So... you're both twice the world champ..."

Gonna miss Taylor though. Couldn't get enough of him losing and having secrets, acting like a cheeky cunt etc.

Wait, what?

I thought he was still doing the non-ranked events.

I've found the relevant quote from the new rules (which you can find here if you want to read the lot: http://www.pdc.tv/order-of-merit-rules)

>Seeds: Top 8 ranked nations based on cumulative Order of Merit ranking (lowest total = highest seed)

Wright is averaging 12 points less than Klaasen. He did that against Taylor at the weekend too.

The beginning of the end for Midlife Crisis Man?

And that D2 closes a largely entertaining opening night of the 2017 Premier League Darts season.

Kim Huybrechts' 2015 woes came back to haunt him as he became another victim of classic James Wade. After a fairly poor first two legs for the Belgian, he came back and eventually got it to 3-3. But a crucial double miss for a 25 out followed by a Wade 96 turned the match in the Machine's favour and although the Hurricane whipped in a 134, he just couldn't break the imperious Wade and lost another PL match 7-5.

Another 7-5 followed, but it was a complete choke from the inconsistent Adrian Lewis. Taking advantage of some atrocious finishing from Raymond van Barneveld, Snackpot had a 4-1 lead and after botching a 40 attempt, collapsed disastrously, Barney taking 6 of the next 7 legs to come through the victor.

In what will be his last PDC season, even a 96 average Phil Taylor was just too much for his mentally stunted bitch Dave Chisnall, although the dim one traded ton out finishes with the groper; 160 and 134 countered by Philth's 121 bull and 118. That aside, it wasn't that good a match and did demonstrate why Pheel is quitting.

Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson then played out a fascinating draw that saw the best of both men: MVG hit 12, 13 and 11 darters to go 3-1 up but Gando came back strong, hitting a 130 on D5 to tie it up at 4-4 and then sent MVG to his first non-win since October with a big 114. The Scotsman couldn't hold on in the 12th but this was a wonderful match.

A below-average Peter Wright benefited from Jelle Klaasen's incompetent finishing to claim a 7-4 win; the Cobra's bust on D14 when wanting D9 at 3-2 up the turning point as he won just one more leg from then, with Clown hitting a neat 120 in the match.

It's Nottingham next week for night 2, with these matches:

>Adrian Lewis v Dave Chisnall
>James Wade v Phil Taylor
>Jelle Klaasen v Gary Anderson
>Peter Wright v Michael van Gerwen
>Kim Huybrechts v Raymond van Barneveld

See you then.
