Well tonight will see the conclusion of the quarter finals and we'll only be 3 matches from finding who is crowned the 2013 champion. I keep thinking the run of the favourites going in has to end somewhere but it shows no sign of doing so at the moment. 1 match looks like a belter on paper the other one not so much but hopefully theres a winner or two out there.
James Wade v Wes Newton:
R3 - Wade bt Vincent Van Der Voort 4-0
Ave: 89.61
180's: 2
HC: 56
CO%: 37%
Newton bt Mark Walsh 4-1
Ave: 87.22
180's: 3
HC: 121
CO%: 38%
Opening semi sees the meeting of 2 of the more unpredictable players for me. Wade's reached the QF with a high average of 92 and I think at the moment he's only got a 93 or 94 in him. However he is still finishing well and that might be enough to reach the semi. Newton played well in his R2 win over Rand but in R1 and R3 I think he was really poor but got away with it v underperforming opponents. I am of the opinion that anything could happen here but I expected Wade to be a bit shorter as I think Newton might get overwhelmed by the occasion. Not one for going mad on but Wade worth a small bet.
Recommendation: 1pt win James Wade @ 8/11 (General)
Michael Van Gerwen v Adrian Lewis:
R3 - MVG bt Colin Lloyd 4-1
Ave: 98.96
180's: 3
HC: 121
CO%: 39%
Lewis bt Kevin Painter 4-2
Ave: 95.06
180's: 8
HC: 109
CO%: 41%
Really looking forward to this one so if the form of the past 2 days goes to plan its bound to be a poor contest. In full flow these 2 are tremendous to watch and I hope they both bring their best as it could be quickfire stuff and one thats great for fans of darts. MVG has played well and is the form man of the last 6 months on tour. Hes full of confidence and as long as the injuries to his feet dont trouble him too much hes a worthy favourite. Lewis played poorly in his opening 2 wins but showed a bit more sparkle in his win over Painter. Its often said to be the man you've got to beat the man (Possession of Ric Flair
) and if MVG wants to be world champion he has to beat the man who has done it the past 2 years. I think MVG looks the right price but I like the look of his maxes here. I think this has to go at least 7 sets and once he starts hitting the treble he is incredible with his scoring. Hopefully we see better than in his R3 win but I'm hopeful that was just a blip.
Recommendation: 3pts win over 8.5 maxes @ 4/5 (Sky)
Summary: Hopefully the big green machine is looking good on the trebles again as thats the only bet I really fancy. I think Wade should be slightly shorted based on experience too so will risk a very small bet on him but I wouldnt say I was enormously confident about it.
All opinions as usual are more than welcome and hopefully we can get some winners to get rid of the bad run over the last 2 days. Lets hope we actually get 2 good games as well that get all of us darts fans worked up.

Who do you like then Don? Didn't know you were a darts man. You ought to come to this Forum more.
Wade will not stand a chance against this monster
actually it was coming from 1-5 there that impressed me most about him
that's a special win for a young man right on the cusp of dominating - signature win.
That will mean so much for his confidence in the many big battles to come in his career

Is Dave a gay icon?
Got the wink for it
Don't think he's capable of playing badly enough for Wade to steal another match

Brilliant!
There's surely ONLY one man qualified to wear the pink shirt. Mr Ed.
He could miss 9 darts per leg at double and his scoring will still be too much for Wade
Semi finalists plus Wade and Anderson would almost be a watchable Prem league.
Not sure who the other two should be though.

My preference I think would be Chizzy and Painter, but we probably get Jenkins and Newton
Chisnall, Winstanley, Huybrechts any of those would do. Just not Newton or Hamilton
superb effort by both, and here was us all 10 years ago thinking it would be alex roy vs adrian grays time by now
Always be a BDO fan at heart Al as that what got me into it before we got sky. Martin World Number 1 England Captain Wolfy Adams of course
I assume we'll all be back for tomorrow night then?
Agree HH, it's more exciting with the "Scorers" rather than the doublers anyway.
@aberdonia
In between rooting for NFL bets yeah... Might deliberately not bother tomorrow actually so I can pay attention.
I personally thought Shayne Burgess would have been a multiple world champ by now
Newton's fightback has probably given him a chance despite losing.
This has been one of my favourite nights on the forum, and I've been here a while.
goodnight all, really enjoyed it.

*not bother with NFL that is, week 17 is hard anyway.

Must be announced next week starts first week in Feb
Been a pleasure MC think we'd all be described as veterans on here
Yeah, Whitlock a good call tbf. Have to keep it international if possible.

Brilliant entertainment, and well done all.

Not sure what games sky got. I have gamepass HD on NFL.com so just pick my game :)
Worth it CK. Not sure it was the best ever, but definitely very good.
laid Gerwen for the title here - just don't see him beating Taylor or Barney doubling like that
till tomorrow
really want a mvg/taylor final
and i really want mvg to blitz "phil".

Can't believe how long we take discussing the PL picks when everyone, myself included, seems to hate the thing.

folly if you ask me.
What price have you put up?.

Reasonable tbf. Pales alongside this one, but was enjoyable and some decent play too (again, having seen that, he probably looks awful but defniitely on his way back)
He has been there and done it (in majors) so can't rule him out but MVG can string legs together better than anybody at the moment

they are great to watch, the cheating ****.

Wade match was exciting but for completely different reasons to the 2nd game
1.26/1.40 CMM
Starting to think they're the best team in the world aberdonia, but we'll never know!

I really hope Barney 'turns up' tomorrow and doesn't just bend over for Taylor
they know they are the best team in the world. 
They will probably decide to win the first match to keep the natives back home happy, just like in the t20s.
then the fun can begin.

Adrian Lewis 100.80
Michael van Gerwen 102.73
How many times have both players averaged 100+ ?

It's not massively uncommon (might be the first this world's) but usually reserved for when Taylor destroys someone and they don't throw at doubles.
might well get a game in just know been some talk about rain

Last time in the Worlds was Taylor-Lewis in the quarter-finals in 2010, Lewis averaged 102.95 yet lost 5-0.
In fact, the final that year was also 100+ each - Taylor v Whitlock.
On Tv in last 6 years theres been 32 matches where both players have averaged over 100
what were the averages in the taylor v barney final????
Too slow Joe
Just reading that of the 37 legs played tonight 18 darts was the worst to win any of them and MVG hit 178 treble 20's!

Just shows that the old saying stands; '180's for show, doubles for the dough'
When Lewis had two darts for the match he was at his peak and was 1/5, brave men who put that up at that time, he was flying and imo would of won his 3rd title if he hit checked out!

Also played on a board with tiny trebles.
Probably add 10-15 on the averages if it was on a PDC board.
