Cross losing a set 3-0 whilst averaging 118. Pretty good standard in this one!

I was hoping for a closer game than this, DVD has the scoring power normally but not tonight. Needed to win the set after the 170 check out

Yeah does almost get that way for me. I have been to the Ally Pally 3/4 times now and it is still great when you are there, but watching it on TV does get so annoying with the repetitive chants. How the Yaya Toure chant still gets done for example is ridiculous.
That is what happens when the crowd are pissed and the audience are sober

Would they still get a cheering crowd if they were not full of piss?
Sad, sad sport if they cannot!

I once met Stephen Bunting at Aintree. Turned a good night into a great one.

Quietly impressed with Bunting, his game has really come on again after a few difficult years.

If it wasn't for MVG, I think he would be a outsider to go all the way

A few do the stop/start thing now, like Cross and even Lewis. I think it's fair enough one pressure shots like that last dart double 18 for the seventh set.
Is more entertaining they Ricky Evans it though.

VdB has this one won now I think. Out scoring and outfinishing Clayton comprehensively now.

Feet up at home.

Don't mind so much on doubles sometimes but doing it after your opponent opens the leg with a 180 sucks really.

I do always wonder if the benefits outweigh the negative of breaking your rhythm too.
Decent win, but pretty scrappy in the end. Would've quite liked Clayton to win too, but Dimi seems to have a better record v Price.

Want Smith to win, but Bunting has been massively impressive.
Me too, also he generally beats Price too which would be nice. Be nice to see him win the entire thing, always gets so close.

No chance that Smith is winning the tournament sadly. Even if he somehow wins this, the fact he’s struggling this badly under some pressure from Bunting isn’t a good sign for the harder challenges to come.

Winner should come from the MVG v Dobey match I think. Dobey looks the only guy in decent enough form to give MVG a match.

Yeah I'd prefer him to win. It's only Price who I actively dislike of those left.

Amazing how many doubles Bunting missed. Hope he can get on a run again next season cos he's decent to watch on form.
