That brunette Phil always walks up with. Don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t like to do to her

most of those card girls in the darts also work as escorts ...you know that surely

probably most of the pro players on tour have facked her silly

cross played incredible

even prime taylor would have had a hard time tonight

the mid 50s version of taylor did well not to lose 7-0

Whitlock deserves his place on 2017 form but he does stand out a bit.
Probably hard to justify picking DvdB when he is outside the top 32 and players like Price, Smith and the Wizard have had fair better years.
