2018 PDC World Championship- Alexandra Palace, London-14th December 2017- 1st January 2018

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Game on. Level at 1-1 and both not far off 100 average.

Think there might be an extended breaknwhilst they try to fix the big screens.

Someone tweeted they saw a pensioner in a blue jacket messing with the cables....

They did have someone dressed as Norman Wisdom though

Half the "Fans" don't watch the action anyway.

I think they probably thought they were peaky blinders, we had a group doing the pub crawl in our town last night all dressed as peaky blinders - or twats in hats as we called them

Yeah a lot are dressing up like the "Peakys", fantastic description

Great comeback from Cross to break throw in that set from 2-0 down.

Fantastic match with both averaging 103.

[ssjsa]

2 sets all a fair reflection of the match.

Best of 3 now however Smith still 2/1 to win. 2/5 Cross. Bullyboy still overpriced.

[ssjsa]

Great set from Michael. 36 darts for the set. 125 average for those 3 legs.

Cracking match this. 20 180s thus far

[Skewball]

Amazing darts , sad to see one of these players go, especially when you see the next match !
Inevitable though given Cross' quick accent that he would play good players early.

[ssjsa]

Cracking match this. 20 180s thus far

Spread for both was 7.5 180s. So those that backed more have won their bets.

[ssjsa]

This match is everything we expected it to be, plus more.

Both players have been fantastic.

[Skewball]

How close was that , Smith misses two for the match and Cross finishes very well

[Skewball]

Wouldn't want to call it now

[Skewball]

Amazing. Cross is something else. Could go all the way to the title.

[nikkiboy]

Amazing. Cross is something else. Could go all the way to the title.

No screaming, no gurning, just darts. The more I see the guy the more I want him to win.

[DavidB]

This tournament just keeps on giving!!!

Best 7 set match ever??

[DavidB]

Amazing. Cross is something else. Could go all the way to the title.

No screaming, no gurning, just darts. The more I see the guy the more I want him to win.

Totally and give credit to Smith also, didn’t sulk after losing, total class - Gurney and others take note after losing!

[ssjsa]

Fantastic match with both players treating us to a 180 extravaganza.

For anyone who still doubted Rob Cross's credentials as a Top 5 player, surely he has just convinced them.

What was that superlative that Mgt came up with yesterday.

Extrarobinary.
