Not as strange as the guy who played Mardle in the first round of the Open last week, it was such a strange action and he was all over the shop.

Is there a more stoney faced player than him? Makes King look like one of the Chuckle Brothers.

Magnus Caris.

If the guy ever won a big event, he'd still not smile. Bet he's still gutted that a crippled Bobby George beat him at the Embassy Semi in '94.

Hope so. I think he looks like he's got an excellent temperament for the game, and looks better than Arron Monk IMO, who seems to have more hype.

The World Championship tickets have just gone on pre sale to PDC subscribers, just secured a few for the Sunday night session.

Good draw for first round at Blackpool, some tasty looking games in the draw this year. I'm hoping it's wide open this year, it's the last major Taylor holds so be interesting to see if he can reclaims it again this year.

Your right about Blackpool with the likes of Henderson v Lloyd, Chisnall v Walsh and Pipe v King likely to show which of the new PDC guard have the nouse and bottle to win on the big stage against players who have the experience but look on the wane and ripe for the taking.

I'm also looking forward to seeing how the likes of Webster and Newton go this time around, done really well to get where they did at Bolton be interesting if they can do it again or whether it was a one off or not. Really if they want to make a big push up the rankings and stay there they need to be consistent now.

Didn't Webster get to semi finals of worlds last year

He's reached the semi final of the World Championship the last two years.

He needs to be more consistent, he reached the WC semi's last year and was then awful in the Premier League, what I was saying was it'll be interesting to see if he can hold it together in back to back TV majors, as it will with Wes Newton.
