After the insanity of the weekend's UK Open, it's back to the weekly grind of the Premier League, this week coming from north of the border in Glasgow with all 10 players in action.
The Stoke derby starts the night with Phil Taylor against Adrian Lewis. Philth's last action (having missed the UK Open) was rescuing a draw against Gary Anderson last week. For Snackpot, it has been a week to forget as he averaged 109 against Peter Wright and lost and then bombed out of the UK Open to Paul Hogan. Hopefully both will get pelted with shit from the partisan crowd.
Clownman himself follows that against James Wade. "Scotsman" Snakebite ended his Terry Jenkins-esque major hoodoo in the sadly forever tainted 2017 iteration of the FA Cup of Darts and recorded a 119.5 average in the PL just prior to it. For Wadey, his unbeaten record was ended in Exeter and an early UK Open exit surely put him on the Haagen-Dazs again. Unless Classic Wade re-appears, it'll be another Wright success.
Michael van Gerwen's back pain has been cured (for now) and his first opponent since is his Belgian bitch Kim Huybrechts. Kimbo fluffed two match darts against Alan Norris and only got a draw last week against Jelle Klaasen. With his 2014 Grand Slam 9 darter forever on MVG's mind, Waffleboy should just drop his pants there and then.
Paedo Suarez is then involved in the clash of the Lakeside champs as he plays Raymond van Barneveld. Klaasen blew match darts in both his PL fixture and his UK Open exit to Vincent van der Voort, wile Barney was battered by Dave Chisnall and went down fighting in his Open QF epic... only to ruin it by whining on Facebook afterwards.
Chizzy ends the night against actual Scot Gando, and after his double wins last week, the dimwit hopes to capitalise on Anderson's own loss to Crocodile Dundee. Booing will have no effect on Dave as he is too dense to interpret it, so expect some classic Gary gameraising instead.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports 3.

>tfw missed out on last Sunday's action
I still read the thread afterwards. Sounded like on of the better tourneys in recent history.
>Taylel vs. Lewis in Glasgow
Oh boy
For those wondering, Barney's message was as follows (translated from the original Dutch):
>"To get back to my message yesterday on Facebook. I did not say that I'm going to quit but I will try to explain what I meant:
For 30 years, darts for me took places 1, 2 and 3 in my life, only after that come family, friends and such. I'm doing everything to be the best version of myself in the hope of winning titles. I don't play darts to be there, I play to win. Of course I realize too that this isn't always possible but sometimes it becomes too much for me and then sometimes I think leave it, don't let it bother you so much. So what I meant with my message was. From now on I want to enjoy it a bit more and put my family and friends first. Of course I will do everything to win titles but the sacrifices sometimes are too big and then the hole I dig myself into becomes too deep. There has to be more balance. I will try to get that sorted for myself. And with the support of the people around me and my loyal fans I hope to achieve this !"
Of course, Barney said pic related in November after failing to qualify for the Euros.
Fucking idiot.

Barney can't let a defeat just be a defeat.
He goes overboard with the negativity.
Barney has two personalities. Nicest guy you'll ever meet and extremely whiny negative nancy.
is this the last time Taylor will ever play in Scotland? Hope they give him an absolute hounding
>>74584582
Aberdeen is after Judgement Night.
There's also the World Series Finals in Glasgow.
And we're on now.
>tfw no more WUBWUBWUB in the intros
Looks like mostly lopsided matches tonight. Aidey vs. Philth could be good, and hopefully Barney brought an emergency snickers against Klaasen.

Either a draw here or a Taylor win. Lewis is deep down in Taylor's pocket
Since this match is terrible, have this: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/590645/Darts-Phil-Taylor-retirement-Robbie-WIlliams-Pete-Conway
>DARTS legend Phil Taylor has revealed how Robbie Williams' dad told him when he would quit professional darts.
>The 56-year-old Burslem-born thrower sees Peter Conway as a second dad. So it was no surprise a tired Taylor sought out Peter's advice after growing fed up with the packed darts schedule.
>"It is difficult being on the road week in, week out," Taylor exclusively told Daily Star Online. "There is a lot of travelling, a lot of days away from home. It's a young man's game now. It is too much for me. Peter – Robbie Williams' dad – said you'll know one morning that it time to walk away now. He is like a second dad to me. That moment was a couple of months ago. I was like that will do for me."
The state of that.

Looking forward to it.
Will Gando throw the match 'cause of booing again?
Entertaining and tight matches tonight, I'm pleasantly surprised.
>>74588652
Apart from Lewis-Taylor which was terrible.
do you reckon they'll add another dutch leg, or one in germany in the next few years?
surely better than going to shiteholes like exeter
>>74588721
Exeter is only on the calendar because of the UK Open being in Minehead.
There's been talk about doing a German fixture next year.
>>74588721
As far as I understand, they are dying to expand the german market. I bet Barry is praying every night for Hopp to suddenly explode into stardom or for a darting Nowitzki to appear out of nowhere.
>>74588822
>Hopp is unironically in the US World Series event in Las Vegas
>>74588834
Must feel bad to be the token Kraut.

>>74588864
If the PDC keep this up, Hopp is just going to become Artut 2.0.
He'll be burnt out by the time he's 25.

That, again, would be pretty cool.

Imagine having Lewis as your dad lel

Imagine trying to shag him rofl
And that D1 closes a very exciting evening of darts from Glasgow.
Unfortunately, the opener was the only one that let the side down as Adrian Lewis finally ended Phil Taylor's unbeaten streak. A Stoke derby of very little quality only had one real moment of significance as Fatpot punished two missed darts at D8 by Pheel to break for a 5-3 lead and eventually secured a vital win.
Peter Wright followed up his maiden major victory with a less than convincing win over James Wade. Wright raced into a 5-1 lead - a 115 in leg 5 the highlight - but was pegged back by the Machine, who started his fight with a 100 to win three straight legs. However, Clownman secured the point with a 15 darter and held out in the 12th to top the table.
Michael van Gerwen's return was as explosive as you could get with a 106 average win over Kim Huybrechts. Kicking off in style with a 109, MVG was notably out of sorts at times but had a resilient Kimmy with him all the way. Unsurprisingly, this match was decided by the Belgian bottler blowing 4 darts at 5-5 and allowing Autism to prevail yet again.
The other Benelux choker proved his merit as Jelle Klaasen threw away a 4-1 lead to lose to Raymond van Barneveld. Klaasen hit 111 to go 3-1 up and had two clear darts for a 5-1 lead but both were appalling as Ray slammed in a huge 154. The Cobra only picked up a single leg after this point as RVB won with ease.
Gary Anderson's home crowd assisted him big time with a fairly simple win over Dave Chisnall. Gando went 5-0 up, hitting a wonderful 147 in the process, before allowing Dim Dave back in with 3 legs after 8 missed darts at double for 6-0. Chizz won no more however as the Scot closed it out in the 10th.
Next week sees the Premier League go orange with another trip to Rotterdam from 7:00pm UK / 8:00pm CET:
>James Wade v Jelle Klaasen
>Peter Wright v Dave Chisnall
>Raymond van Barneveld v Gary Anderson
>Phil Taylor v Michael van Gerwen
>Kim Huybrechts v Adrian Lewis
See you then.
