No Anastasia ?

Not this year, you're out of luck. She lost in the final of the Russian qualifying!!

Can't wait now, I'm going on the Sunday the match of the round for me is Mark Walsh v Mark Webster and that's on the Sunday afternoon so I'm very happy. It seems so long since May or June when the tickets came out, I'll be on the front tables all day so plenty of tele appearances too

Webby has not really proved himself yet with the PDC and its a tough draw....much as I would love him to win think Walsh will be too good in that one.

I'm with Walshy on that one, I like Walsh. Couldn't throw a dart few years back and now he's playing better than ever. Last year at the Worlds Walshy played the afternoon I was there and almost hit a 9 darter, he missed the double.

Anyway, Manley in a TV tournament at last, needs big one this time. COME ON ONE DART!!

Agree with you on Manley and fingers crossed for a good run from him

Most definately. It's been far too long. Hasn't been in a TV tournament since Las Vegas Classic and before that it might have been the world champs last year! Not good enough. Good run and he can fly back up the rankings.

Hope his heart is still in it as he still has a lot to offer but once players get on that slippery slope falling down the rankings it is not that easy to stop. Mardle is finding that and I would not be surprised if John Part is the next to follow them down once his World Title win does not count for the rankings he could easily end up out of the top 16 in no time.

Agree there,Manley is a good player and he can take the flak from the crowd.
To me Mardle is trying to be more of a showman ,than a darts player.
As for John Part,I feel hughely disappointed about his form,always been one of my favourite players.Is it the travelling,or is it the fact there are a lot more excellent players out there that has caused his dip in form?

Hard to say as I do not think the likes of Hamilton, Lewis, Baxter etc in and around the Top 10 are getting any better, take away King and no one has really made a massive impact despite some top players being displaced. Anderson will be up there in no time but him apart people you might have expected to push on have not ie. Thornton, Tabern, Osbourne. Perhaps the fact Taylor is so dominant means average players have average ambitions and the are happy to make quarter finals and the odd semi without having a real winning mentality and the fact they can make £150k a year doing that probably does not help in driving themselves forward.
