Mighty Mike Wins! Lawrence Lustig/PDC
Premier League debutant Van Gerwen, who topped the table after 14 weeks of league play drew first blood in the final – taking the opening leg with throw in 13 darts. However, it was Taylor who commanded the game early on and established a 5-2 lead.
Double trouble for the 16 times World Champion after the interval allowed van Gerwen to reel off 5 legs in succession and put himself in the driving seat.
Taylor levelled the match at 7 each with a 160 finish after van Gerwen had refused a shot at the bull, instead leaving 32 for his anticipated return visit. The Dutchman then restored his two leg advantage, but missed two match darts before The Power finished 72 on tops. Read the rest of this entry »

McCoy’s Premier League Darts Week 14 Preview
Posted on May 9th, 2013
The final place in the McCoy’s Premier League Darts Play-Offs will be up for grabs as the league season concludes in Newcastle this evening – with James Wade, Robert Thornton and Simon Whitlock fighting to claim a spot in the Play-Offs.
Wade Wants to Beat Taylor – Lawrence Lustig/PDC
With Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld all securing their Play-Off places following wins in Liverpool last week, the remaining semi-finalist will be decided on the final league night.
2009 Premier League champion Wade travels to the Metro Radio Arena in fourth place, and Scottish star Thornton knows that victories in his two games in Newcastle will see him leapfrog the left-hander to seal a semi-final finish in his debut season.
Having lost both of his matches in Liverpool Wade sits on 16 points, just one ahead of Thornton, and takes on Taylor in Newcastle in his final league game as he aims to reach the semi-finals for the fifth time in six seasons.
“It would have been nice to have qualified already but I will prepare myself to go and get the job done on Thursday,” said Wade. “It hasn’t gone my way in the last few weeks but I’m in the best position of the three fighting for the last spot at the moment.
“In the end it will be about who has the most points over 14 weeks, not just what happens in one night. If I’ve got more points than four other players, then I’ll deserve a place in the semi-finals.” Read the rest of this entry »

Whitlock Will Fight For Play-Off Place in Newcastle
Posted on May 8th, 2013
Simon Whitlock is eyeing one of his career highlights as he prepares for a tense three-way battle for the final Premier League Darts play-off spot in Newcastle on tomorrow night.
Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld have already booked their place in the play-off finals at the O2 Arena in London on May 16, meaning Leyland Paints-backed Whitlock, James Wade and Robert Thornton now contest the final spot at the Metro Radio Arena.
After narrowly surviving relegation on Judgement Night a month ago, Whitlock has been on a scintillating run of form which has seen him notch four victories from the last five games.
And he is hoping that will be enough for him to sneak in to the top four.
“The standard has been so high this season so to finish in the top four would be one of the best achievements, particularly because I was a little way behind a few weeks ago,” said Whitlock, of Waterlooville. Read the rest of this entry »

Taylor Unlikely to Take Another Premier League Title in 2013
Posted on May 8th, 2013
3 Reasons Why Taylor Won’t Win the 2013 McCoy’s Premier League Darts
Jamie Shaw from Bettingpro.com looks at this years Premier League Darts and explains to us why the defending and multiple Champion won’t capture the 2013 Premier League title.
Not His Year? – Lawrence Lustig/PDC
In common with the majority of PDC majors over the past 20 years, Phil Taylor has made the Premier League his own, but in the most fiercely competitive league to date, The Power now has his work cut out.
The Stoke maestro has lifted the Premier League trophy at the end of six of the eight previous campaigns, ending the regular season top of the table on each occasion, but that record has been brought to an end by a certain young Dutchman this year.
The revamped road-show event saw ten of the world’s top stars start out, before Gary Anderson and Wes Newton were relegated in week nine after occupying the bottom two place, while the top four advance to the Play-Offs at the O2 Arena on May 16.
Of those ten players, five picked up at least one major televised title in 2012 and the close proximity of the field has made it one of the most exciting Premier League seasons in recent history.
Taylor’s revenge victory over his recent nemesis Robert Thornton in Liverpool was enough for him to seal his Play-Off progression, but with first place now out of the equation, his showdown with James Wade in Newcastle will determine his finishing position.
Here are our top three reasons why the 16 times World Champion will not collect the Premier League title in 2013: Read the rest of this entry »
