I suppose we should exclude MVG because he lost to Michael Smith a few days ago.
No he isn't excluded from the debate, as you have included him.

In the eyes of the vast majority he is far from a viable contender to be considered as the world's best player. If and when he wins a PDC Major, then his inclusion as a possible might be a realistic one.

For what it is worth, Imo MVG is still the best player in the World, however at the moment the only two other contenders who deserve a mention are Wright and Price. Clearly the Top 3 by the proverbial country mile, as evidenced by their respective positions on the OOM.
Who is top of the Premier League?

The supposed 2nd biggest event in darts.
1. It’s a exbo, but you know that
2. Who did he draw in Round 5 of the UK Open? Must have missed his game
1) The fanboys and Sky have always claimed it is a major.

2) The World Champion. He lost in a very close game.

Don't make him cry.

For the record, the endless repetition of the Wazza180 account desperately trying to sound like Ian has me completely convinced that it is the Robson multiple behind a VPN.

Even Ian isn't that repetitive and obvious. Plus a VPN would be too baffling for him.

He's getting better but he also has certain tells still. We shall see.
Wrong again.

Anymore guesses?

Matter of time before Ian settles in for the day with his personal attacks.

If you're that confident that Durrant is the best player in the world, want to put your username on it? If he wins a TV title this year (not euros or streamed event), you get to pick a new username for me and vice versa.

I never said he was the best player in the world. I don't think there is a single best player in the world at the minute. Rather 3 or 4 players who are roughly equal. Those being MVG, Wright, Price and Durrant.

Just a “no, I’m scared” would’ve done.

That's what Whinge should have said about the incident with Andy Jenkins.

So you keep saying, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

"I didn't say that Durrant was the best player in the world but I merely pointed out that he has a 3-0 record against the other player in my discussion in my head"

It's also 2-0, but don't let facts get in the way.

Mvg is the best player in the world. Durrant currently is the fourth best player but he needs to win a couple of majors in the Pdc and that will not happen easily.

Where would you rate Taylor in a current list, still in the top 10? he's not playing but we all know his drive.

Durrant is 20th (in the PDC). Let's not use anything but the official measuring stick, just in case someone gets quoted out of context for the next five years.
