The biggest news this week saw the confirmation of the pairings for the World Cup next month: https://www.pdc.tv/news/2026/may/11/2026-betvictor-world-cup-of-darts-pairings-confirmed/The most striking omission is that of Gerwyn Price, who for unspecified reasons has declined to represent Wales and has been replaced by Nick Kenny. Michael van Gerwen makes only his second appearance since 2021 partnering Gian van Veen, while Cameron Menzies debuts for Scotland alongside Gary Anderson. Mickey Mansell becomes the first player to play for two countries at the PDC World Cup with a debut for the Republic of Ireland. Mongolia and Trinidad & Tobago make their World Cup debuts.
Two stories from the Players Championship double-header as well:>Michael van Gerwen won a Players Championship event for the first time since October 2024 on Monday, recording a 122.34 average in a 7-0 obliteration of Martin Schindler in the semi-final and then defeating Dirk van Duijvenbode 8-5 in the final with a 106.57 average>Andrew Gilding won a PDC ProTour event at the 442nd(!) time of asking on Tuesday, beating Jonny Clayton 8-3 in the final and ending a streak of seven ProTour events without victory
>>154664465Mansell is so good multiple countries want him.
>Menzies, Pikachu, Kenny>no Kantele for FinlandGrim. Hopefully we get some comedyjobbing by Toylo and based Kumar, and some hits from da Zong.>Sowaris Rodman, Juma SaidGood names, though. Also pic related.>>154664517Didn't see that coming, hope he can keep it up.

>>154665207Can both Chuddy and Humpries still qualify? Guess we’d need MVG to win this one.
>>154665485God I hope so, and I hope Chuddy knocks him the fuck out. Can’t believe they’ve not met yet, want that littler heel turn big time.

Just as an aside lads, have webms stopped working for anyone else on mobile? MP4s still work, but not webms, makes browsing /gif/ fucking hard work.
Will the crowd keep the Kier Starmer song after he's gone like they have with the Toures?
>>154665626Hope so. Also hope that smug prick Burnham loses the byelection.
>>154665624>browsing /gif/how horrifying
Has Price been practicing with Rock? This is some shite doubling.
MVG going to pull off a proper troll victory here
>>154665624long press on the webm and it loads, but it fucks the rendering when you close it
>>154665713Yeah, I discovered this too, really zooms out and sometimes even freezes my phone when I do this. Sounds like it’s not just me then.
it's ogre
>MVG 88 average>mere days after recording his second highest average in the PDC
fat scouse cunt
I just realized Thiago Silva is a year older age and Ronald is born the same year as Stephen Bunting the absolute discrepency of physique between men, its endearing players at their prime
I'M DIETPROOFFEW POUNDS TO LOSETAKEAWAYYY TAKEAWAYYYY
Remember this fat cunt took the place of Justin Hood and Danny Noppert god sake
>>154665978>Hood
>>154666005Hood is unironically based as fuck though
Humph killing Bunting off here
>>154666016Yes, but he was never getting into the PL off that Worlds run. Might as well throw in blind man Searle if you're going down that route.
>sharting
>>154666030I mean, would Searle be that much worse compared to Rock?
>>154665878
Fat scouse cunt.
>>154665878>I'm the same age as Humphries
not looking good for the dutch
Thanks for coming, Stephen.
>>154665878The age of darts players never cease to amaze me. MVG is only late 30s, looks at least late 40s.
>>154666016Love that little gnome fella. So please him and his fat wife got the money to open that Chinese.

This is pathetic from Clayton

>Clayton shits the bed against Kebabman again
>>154666328>deliberately leave 162 off 181>then throw a dart at T10 that's so bad it almost misses the board altogetherClayton is complacent as fuck and it's why he'll never win a ranking major again in my opinion.
stop bullying my ferret :(
>>154666400I agree, he can't keep up a top form even quite often during a game, yet alone a whole day/tournament >>154666448I like him though, hope he wins the Premier League in the end but I fully expect him to shit the bed against Littler in the final
GWAN PRICEY
>Pokemon that evolves into Gerwyn Pricekek
het is over
Ridiculous finishing from Price, Chud couldn't handle it
>>154666792>100% on the first 5 legs he woncompared to the MVG match it's like two different people
recording kept repeating at 2-1, restart stream and match is over. oooff
>>154666809>2 dart 74>112>last dart 72>109>2 dart 54Absolutely solid.Chud made a mistake in the final leg as well, should have gone bull on 94 to leave at least a dart at bull for a decider where he would have the throw. Some really wayward arrows from him at times, he kept hitting T3.
Shittler could have lost this 6-0
Some burst from Humphries there. 6 legs in 81 darts, 111 average.
The fat Manc finally lost a game wtfffff
Like Humphries. Simple as
The guy who has not a won a night is going to knock out chud
>>154667203And van Gerwen. Final four confirmed, just the order to determine.
And so after 15 weeks the reigning Premier League champion FINALLY wins a night, and did it in some style. Luke Humphries lost just 7 legs over the 4 matches, averaging 106 for the evening and a total checkout percentage of 40% to snatch the final play-off place after an indifferent campaign overall. But his standout performance came against the other Luke to gain revenge for last week's Leeds humiliation.It looked like a straightforward Littler victory as Humphries blew the first three legs, missing a dart at double in each one with the Nuke even having the chance for an exhibition D18-D16 checkout of 74 to go 3-0 up. But this ignited Humphries who ran off the next three legs in 44 darts to level - including a vital 18 darter finished on D1 after the younger Luke missed four to lead 4-2 - and then won the next three in 37 darts to reach the final, averaging 111 in the process. This shows the game is still there with the elder Luke, it's just a matter of him applying it.Tonight has rendered next week's last regular night rather pointless as the remaining three play-off contenders were all officially eliminated by Humphries' progress. Stephen Bunting was the first to be eliminated, with his 6-0 flattening by tonight's winner ending another poor campaign where he won just a single night and failed to reach another final before or after it. Gian van Veen followed after the semi-finals, with his bright start to his debut season killed by his kidney stone withdrawal in week 7 and crucially never reclaimed a spot in the top 4 after it. And that final victory meant Michael van Gerwen misses out on the play-offs in successive years for the first time ever, with an erratic campaign that featured just a single nightly win not deserving of a top 4 spot. In typical 2026 MVG style, he went from averaging 122 in a ranking event just 2 days ago to not even hitting 88 tonight.Players Championships on Monday & Tuesday before the final regular night in Sheffield next Thursday.
