Felt fatigued ! That’s not washing I’m afraid, better excuse needed

I think Cross has it bang on, got to be the main reason so many top ranked players have gone out early. So many tournaments over the year all over the world, fatigue must play a part and this event just goes on too long but that’s another story!

No handshakes?

Said yesterday he looks like he’s on another planet at times and being on the stage can’t be helping him.

Needs to step away for a bit, sort himself out, make sure he’s on the right medication (and not mixing it with a ton of alcohol) and come back when he’s feeling himself again

Aspinall at 33s and Humphries at 22 are good odds if you can get a good cash out in the final.

Just a quick word about Searle yesterday, I know he lost but I thought he put up a fantastic effort.

Didn't blame fatigue, just how he felt. Maybe lethargic would have been a better word.

I think calling Humphries' performance fighting does him a disservice. It suggests he battled his way to the win. Humphries played better than Cross.

Early break from Aspinall.

Post by **Zapp Brannigan** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 1:21 pm

Age of the quarter finalists

Luke Humphries - 23
Nathan Aspinall - 27
Michael Smith - 28
Michael van Gerwen - 29
Ryan Joyce - 33
Dave Chisnall - 38
Brendan Dolan - 45
Gary Anderson - 48

Average age 34

That has to be the youngest ever quarter final line up

Bye bye boring Brendan You ve been here for way too long now and with too much luck.

Where’s this putting the players in the WC rankings now coming from outside the top 32. Aspinall, Dolan, humphries etc

Post by **robot** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:08 pm

Excellent game from Aspinall. 100 avg with a first dart avg of just over 27!

Post by **robot** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:10 pm

Reckon Chisnall will win the next one. Anderson not fully at the races this tourney - a combination of his back injury/poor attitude.

Post by **Thehateful180** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:12 pm

That result should get up a few people's noses.

Post by **Bram_1900** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:13 pm

Anderson will win. Chisnall never turns up when it matters

Post by **O C** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:34 pm

Young blood, new faces and all that, but its certainly not Clash of the Titans. But you just know the players outside the top 16 will be looking at this tournament and thinking of next year, anything is possible if you work at it.

Post by **robot** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:35 pm

Tidy enough Anderson first set - 39 darts

Dolan stops outside the top 42 think Aspinall is now at 34 a win will put him at 17th

A win for humphries will put him just above Dolan

Post by **Ginge** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:44 pm

Ando clearly claiming his back was fucked so he could get a better price on himself to win this game. One for the DRA to look into...
