MICHAEL VAN GERWEN is ‘even more motivated’ to defend his title at the upcoming World Grand Prix after bitter disappointment at last weekend’s Champions League of Darts according to michaelvangerwen.com. MVG was eliminated from the CLoD at the group stage following defeats at the hands of Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor. Van Gerwen did beat The Jackpot with 10-4 but his 10-9 loss to the Power sealed his fate in Cardiff. Van Gerwen said: “I didn’t play my best all weekend and I will put that right ready for Dublin. “The CLoD wasn’t good for me but there is no point looking back. I can only look forward and I’m even more motivated to win the title in Dublin. “I have great memories in the World Grand Prix. It was my first PDC major in 2012 and I have won it three times. I’m going to do my best to make it four.”

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
