whatever your thoughts on the sport of Darts Phil Taylor is the greatest competitor I have ever seen............

A sheer will to win and not to believe you are beaten that surpasses anyone else I've watched play a competative sport...

How did you go from competitor to competative? That right there must have taken some sheer will.

Comparing the will to compete is pretty hard. It's easy to look at somebody like Taylor and see a great competitor. But he doesn't play in a team sport and plays in a sport that requires very little fitness. I've watched plenty of people in team sports that I personally would consider greater competitors. Michael Jordan, Patrick Roy, Nick Lidstrom, Tim Duncan, countless footballers e.g. Giggs, Scholes, Gattuso, Maldini, etc. as well as the likes of Nadal and Federer. It's great that Phil can maintain such dominance in his sport, but I consider people that remain physically fit and maintain great physical performance over people like Taylor. IMO, Zidane getting France to a world cup final is easily a better achievement than what Taylor achieved tonight, not that that's a slight on Phil.

Very accurate description. As for calling darts a sport, that's just ridiculous. A passtime maybe, but never a sport.

Typical Taylor reactions over the last few days, I've seen it all before over the years. Gets a good win over a big rival, takes offence to absolutely nothing, then gets on interview and says nothing happens, then blames his health, then threatens to quit, then shows what he is made of to come from behind and win, and then says there is no way he is retiring.

Same thing will happen this year at some of the majors if he gets knocked out early. The guy has been the greatest thing to happen to darts, he's helped the sport go global and he is without doubt the greatest darts player ever. His achievements will not be matched.

However, he has the be one of the most unprofessional people I have ever seen. He's petulant when he loses, he's more petulant when he wins, he throws faux praise on opponents yet belittle's them most of the time. The Sky crew are so far up his a*** its beyond belief. When things aren't going his way, he cries illness/stress and wants to walk away.

He goes on last because he is the biggest draw. If he had the power (arf) and influence people suggest he has, he'd surely be going on earlier, given his age. He is a bit of a tw@, evidently, but Manley was a tool and deserved all he got. Only one sportsman measures up to Taylor in terms of longevity at the top of their profession and that's Tony McCoy.

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



I agree with the original post about Taylor, and don't really understand why people dislike him. He's the most relentless winning machine I've ever seen in any sport and is always hungry for more no matter what he has already achieved. He's a phenomenon.

On saying all that though, I wanted van Gerwen to win last night. That lad is just pure excitement to watch, and his quarter final V Lewis was unreal. I know Taylor is far from finished as winning his 16th World title proves, and even Barney got to the semi and won the last major, so he's still got a bit left in the tank too, but given their ages and the quality of the MVG and Lewis match hopefully those two will be the future of the game and the major rivals going for big honours constantly of the next ten years.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg



Have we ever had the "is Darts a sport" debate on here? Jamie Peacock commented the other day that anything that can be played in a pub can't be a sport.

Incredibly skillful "sportsmen" though but as a person, yes, Taylor is a nipple.

icon_lol.gif ....Yes, he's a top 'sportsman', isn't he??

I can't wait for him to appear on the next edition of 'Superstars' that the Beeb will undoubtedly do again in the future....That will prove all the Darts doubters wrong, when 'The Power' is seen defeating all comers in the pool, on his bike, around the track, and in the gym test.... icon_lol.gif

I once beat an England bar billiards international at pool, so Jamie Peacock can knob off, I am by virtue of this achievement, unarguably a world class sportsman.

Not a big fan of Taylor at all, can tell he's from Stoke, must be one of the most depressing places in the UK and that's saying something.

That said he's one brilliant darts player, and yes it is a sport.
