Bottle wins the day...

What time is the Bunting game tonight, please?

Am suffering temporary loss of control of the remote control, and need to plan its repossession.

Currently watching some "Love Actually" film bollox.

I presume Ralph must be visiting?

Hugh Grant as Prime Minister. Farcical. Way too posh.

Is it just me that thinks Bunting & Smith both look like real life caricature's?

Def from Family Guy.

That was different gear from Bullet. They both must have averaged close to 110 in the last 3 sets.

Looked a lot more lively than he had done previously, that's for sure.

[Bazzaboy]

Definitely a lock for a PL place now, probably was before tonight but that confirms it.

[Omm]

Definitely a lock for a PL plasce now, probably was before tonight but that confirms it.

I like the way bunting has come across to the PDC and performed quite well, should be there abouts for quite a while and if he can sort out some consistency from set to set he could end up one of the best players on the circuit ie Taylor (retired) MVG, Bunting, Lewis, Ando thoughts?

Without a doubt. No one other than Barney has come across and made an impact like he has in his first year and the depth in quality now is significantly greater than it was back in Barney's day. He has bucketloads of ability and is a bit like MVG in that you know he will miss doubles but you also know he has that but of class to take out big finishes when it really matters. If he can reproduce tonight's performance three more times that might just be good enough.

Smith must be knocking on the door of a PL spot but will probably have to wait another year.

Out of interest, how much is a place in the PL worth to a player on average?

I don't understand why during the most important tournament of the year a lot of the debate is who will qualify for what is basically a glorified exhibition event.

Believe its 25k for last upto £450k for winner. (4th got you circa 50k last season)

Was told the players get 5k appearance money per leg which, I would imagine, is huge for those outside of the top 4/5
