>>77361925
Most bewildering match in a long time, and definitely the worst of MVG's career since winning his first major.

The manner of how Michael van Gerwen imploded yesterday cannot be overlooked.

His checkout rate of just 6 from 27 attempts (22.22%) was one of his lowest in his PDC major history and his whole demeanour yesterday was not his usual self: no strutting around after hitting 180s, no anger. It was as if he wasn't really bothered about losing like he did. Was it a case of the partisan crowd getting to him, as it did in the 2015 World Grand Prix final? Or has his mind been focused elsewhere with the impending realisation that he's going to become a dad?

In fact, his whole week has been weird. He let off when 7-0 up against Stephen Bunting and missed 22 darts at double, then in the post-match interview shrugged off Simon Whitlock as a nothing and then gave no shits about playing either of Phil or Barney. The match against Whitlock was the only remotely "normal" performance from him, yet he still went under a ton average after having averaged 100+ on TV for so many matches in a row.

In a bizarre way, it's both good and bad for darts that MVG has had this meltdown: good in that yesterday's match has shown opponents how to properly get at him, but bad in that it will only inspire an autism-fuelled rage for the rest of the season.

It's a conflicting feel as well. It was kind of funny to see MVG get spanked liked that but it was Taylor doing the spanking.

Who fucking thought Taylor v RVB would be Pheel's last match?

Fuck you, Mardle.

Had to laugh when Pheel tried to lecture Michael about sportsmanship post-match, when just last year, on this very same stage, with the roles reversed and Taylor getting spanked, he started acting like a complete retard on stage

Taylor should fuck off. Constant boing of his cucks against MVG was annoying AF. Not saying MVG would have won without it, but it was relentless even when he was down 3 - 9001 these faggots were still going.

Only way to get a wank back in the days. That and the mobile-phone-porno-pictures in magazines.
Kids these days have it so fucking easy to feast their eyes on titties they don't even begin to comprehend.

And that D2 ends a pair of semi-finals that weren't really much to shout about in all honesty. Sadly, it resulted in the final nobody really wanted.

Peter Wright made it to his first Matchplay final with a very inconsistent victory to end Daryl Gurney's dream run. Superchin took a 3 leg lead but Snakebite claimed 4 of the next 5 to tie it up at 4-4 before repeating the feat to go 9-5 ahead with a 109 out. The fixture contained a remarkable 75 missed doubles, best signified by the appalling 17 missed in leg 16 and 10 in the very next leg, both of which Clownman eventually won. However, that ignited the Ulsterman who claimed the next 4 but crucially could never tie up the match; Gurney's inconsistent scoring was repeatedly punished by the fake Scot. The 118 in leg 26 was the only time Chin got a big finish in the fixture as Snakey hit a recovery 100 in leg 27 to lead 15-12 and although the gap was closed to two legs, it was never overcame by Gurney. The whole tournament has been a definite learning curve for Daryl.

Phil Taylor made his 17th Matchplay final with another renaissance display against Adrian Lewis. Taylor kicked off with an 86 but against all the odds, Snackpot actually gained a two leg lead at 3-1 with a last dart 81. The Prowler won three straight to go 4-3 ahead before Aidey regained the lead at 5-4. However, this was the last time the fatter Stokie would lead as Pheel cranked up the pressure, eventually finishing with a 103 average, 27 140s and 8 180s. Lewis attempted to stay in the match but he couldn't cope with his mentor's pressure and at 8-7 down with 2 darts to complete a 94, he missed them both and Taylor went out last dart in hand. Just two more legs were won by the two-time World Champion as vintage Taylor yet again destroyed his opposition. A repeat of that tomorrow and he's got number 16, no question.

So the 2017 World Matchplay final, the best of 35 legs, is the following from 7:00pm UK time:

>Phil Taylor v Peter Wright

See you then.
