It's getting tense at the top... 🔝 Here's how the race for the Premier League Play-Offs shapes up after Night 13 👇
"I can be a bit of a spoiler now" - Rob Cross out of the playoff race but could still play key role in fate of Premier League rivals

Michael van Gerwen will take on Rob Cross in quarter-finals on Thursday night in Aberdeen. 'Voltage' is virtually out of the Premier League Darts playoff race, but that does not mean he plans to sit back in the remaining weeks.
''The Premier League is a tough school, but I have loved being here,'' Cross said in conversation with pdc.tv. “The last six weeks were disappointing results wise, but I cannot grumble. I have really enjoyed being back in the mix."
Cross himself started the Premier League Darts well with 11 points after the first six nights. After that, however, things took a turn for the worse and he lost six quarterfinals in a row, losing vital ground in the race for the too 4.
''I had a three-week spell where I was a little bit off, and it cost me. It’s not quite worked out, but I’m not here to make excuses,'' Cross says honestly. ''There’s still plenty to play for over the next three weeks, and I think my game is in a good place, so I believe I can be a bit of a spoiler now.”

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - 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
