As per usual I start off with great intent but never end up watching much or this. Made me chuckle in the Daily Mirror last week when RVB said that it's a world game now and the English/British domination is either at an end or coming to an end. The final tonight is between Phil Taylor from England and Rob Cross from England! Just saying
