how many more times can people watch the clowns entrance - or sing barney army - or see wade - its been like this for over a decade now - its repeititve - ive been saying for years - the pdc should change the format - lets have a county league one year - or an international league - week 1 live from manchester - its cheshire captain bunting against yorshire captain scott mitchell - and so on - how about a pairs league - instead we get the same 8 players every week - this is why bdo is better - more variety in tournaments - you get county games - pairs - triples - set play at the masters - leg play at the trophy - you name it - all you get in hearns league is leg play and a bunch of yobs -

so a single win over MVG make a player a top player....oh dear....

by your logic then Toon Greebe who has beaten MVG twice is a top player
Mark Hylton has beaten MVG 4 time...he must be a superstar.

Oooo. I missed this seethe.

Tremendous!

I've missed the last 4 weeks due to work so hoping the next 4 are good and I get into this years now,I use to always watch it in the mornings when I got home but following online bets has given away the results. I've got the last of my decent Cheltenham week left in my account so hoping to win some tonight on a couple of bets, a mvg 170 will be very welcome!!!

Any tips from anyone?

THE 2019 Unibet Premier League continues with Night Seven in Berlin on Thursday, as Max Hopp becomes the first German player to star in the competition at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Hopp will become the seventh Contender to make their Premier League debut in this year's tournament as he takes on Raymond van Barneveld, who is seeking a first victory of the campaign.

German number one Hopp enjoyed his best PDC campaign in 2018, becoming the first German player to win a European Tour event while also reaching the semi-finals of the European Championship, and Hopp believed Thursday could be the catalyst for further success.

"I am so excited to be playing in front of my home crowd, on home soil, against the legendary Raymond van Barneveld," said 22-year-old Hopp.

"Raymond has always been my childhood idol. When I started out, the first set of darts I bought were Raymond’s so it will be a dream come true to play him in front of a home crowd.

"It's a really important game for Barney because if he loses, he could be in real trouble so there will be mixed feelings from me if I win.

"But I also want to go further in my career and this night is special for me; it is a great platform and a Premier League experience for the first time. It is a huge night for me and I need to think of my personal goals -  I want to perform very well."

Van Barneveld enjoyed a return to form by reaching his first ProTour final since 2015 last Sunday, but the former Premier League champion is rooted to the foot of the table following a difficult opening six nights of action.

The departing Dutchman will be desperate for a win to increase his chances of survival ahead of Judgement Night in Rotterdam next Thursday.

"Of course Sunday's good performances give me extra belief that anything is possible," said Van Barneveld.

"I have to keep fighting to try and save my season but I know it will be difficult against Max because he is a top player and the crowd will be right behind him."

Michael van Gerwen returned to the top of the league with victory over Gerwyn Price in Nottingham on Night Six, and he will face Daryl Gurney, who is Van Barneveld's nearest target in eighth place.

Gerwyn Price suffered his first defeat of the campaign last Thursday, and he will be looking to bounce back against last year's semi-finalist Rob Cross, who is tied on points with Van Gerwen at the table's summit.

Third-placed James Wade will face fourth-placed Peter Wright, while 2018 Premier League finalist Michael Smith will take on Mensur Suljovic as both players look to drag themselves away from the relegation picture.

The top four players at the end of 16 nights will face off in the Play-Offs at The O2 on May 23, while the ninth-placed player following Judgement Night in Rotterdam will face an early elimination.

Night Seven of the Unibet Premier League in Nottingham will be shown live on Sky Sports, worldwide through the PDC's broadcast partners, and through PDCTV-HD for Rest of the World Subscribers.

Says it all when Barney is 11/8 to beat Flop.

May even watch some of this tonight. If there is nothing else on that is interesting.

Wade to beat Snakebite @ 8/5.

Other than last week, Wade has been playing pretty well, and Wright will, in all likelihood be trying a new set of darts.

Hopp to beat Barney @ 29/20

Raymond has been playing terribly and the crowd will be behind Hopp. If Max gets off to a good start, can see the head shaking starting and Barney throwing in the towel.

I also think Cross at 6/5 is good value, and I fancy Bullyboy to beat Suljovic, but the German crowd will, get right behind Mensur, so betting on that match is probably not a good idea.

I may try the "both players to hit at least 2 180s" again, was only ruined last week by that abomination of an Aspinall game. 7/1 Skybet.

Only 5/1 on Betfair but they are offering me 25/1 on it, at seven times the usual max stake.

[Ginge]

^^^^14/1 with Betfred, bloody hell!

[Ginge]

Or at least it was. Removed after 10 minutes
