In-form Smith ahead of Premier League tie against Wright in Liverpool: "It's the happiest I've been playing darts"

Michael Smith will head into the Premier League in Liverpool, his local leg aiming to continue his brilliant form as of late.
Smith hit a nine-dart finish against Gurney two weeks ago in Dublin before then defeating Michael van Gerwen in Exeter in a brilliant three game run and as a result, 'Bully Boy' is confident with his game heading into facing Peter Wright.
"It's the happiest I've been playing darts," said Smitb. "There's no pressure on me - I'm there to do a job and hopefully I can keep winning.
"I want to be competing in the Premier League all season so I want to make sure I get past the cut-off and then focus on the top four."

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
