  Inspiration from walk on music Losing weight and trying to improve fitness from the dull as dishwater Dobey. The only inspiration Phil Taylor needed was to win and win and win. Players of today are pathetic, so vain and more obsessed with being popular or their walk on music than actually being dedicated to putting in the effort and winning something.

  Agree with much of this though as stated on the Rob cross thread and assuming he has a manager, he has not done a very good job. Wherever there is money there will always be those trying to get a cut, skim the cream from the top, more money in the game, more hangers on, fitness trainers, phycologists, accountants, social media analyst.

  Thought Price managed the pace brilliantly — clinical early on, then just controlled the middle legs to stop Dekker building any rhythm. Was that game management though or just natural dominance?

  Never come across as the brightest spark(y). Good manager, good accountant, not for Rob. £665k paid to a connected party …. hmmmm. How the hell has he escaped jail, sure i have seen people go inside for much less tax evasion.

  This setup gives a free ride to guys at the bottom end of the ProTour qualification, where you get first round European Tour entry and Players Championship seeding. I reckon that if you beat every host nation qualifier and half the rest you could enter every major except the Grand Slam and earn £100k without ever beating a top-32 player.

  Would agree that winning the League phase is the pinnacle. Imagine the tragedy if MVG had qualified without winning a night in fourth place then won the play offs. It just shows that the premier league is a money making jaunt for a few elites and the PDC and a night out for pissheads. Now it’s over its World Series time, another non ranked exhibition series thats no longer really needed. Bring back some serious tournaments like the Las Vegas Desert Classic..

  it actually benefits humphries to agree with you as it'll mean he's on a list of three rather than four who've done it. that said, the premier league is by far one of the most difficult tournaments to win so i don't personally disparage that achievement too much, especially for players who've qualified by right rather than invitation (although i'd argue winning the league phase is probably more of an achievement than winning the playoffs).

  It’s not the ‘Triple Crown’, thats the three Worlds, Championship, Matchplay and Grand Prix. May carry more prize money however the Premier League is still just a glorified promotional tool for drunken non dart fans. The PL will always come behind the already mentioned tournaments plus the other ranked Majors.

  hmm i wonder why cullen's moaning about this, could it be because he failed to qualify for the past two years because he never wins anything? much like he had the audacity to complain he wasn't in the premier league after a terrible season?
