    The single greatest moment in darts. I am especially glad that MS won the match (and the world championship) so you can't even say it was "meaningless" with an MVG win. Sensational from both players. The first three sets in the match were of a standard unlikely ever to be seen again.

    Michael Smith is an amazing player and after tonight his confidence should sky rocket and I think the best is yet to come from him but you just can't take it away from MVG that man's a machine

    Everything about this is pure gold. MvG and Smith's achievement, the crowd, and Wayne's commentary. He was spot on. "They may both be on nines.' "Michael may miss and Michael may HIT!" He called it in the second visit to the board. Just like he did a few days earlier with Mensur's 161 when MvG laid up: "He thinks someone averaging 102 over nigh on five sets is not gonna take out 161."

    Also the fact that this was against the MVG throw made this the literal best leg of darts you will ever see ever! Still goosebumps

    I learned what a "nine dart" was literally an hour ago, and I can already recognize that this is the greatest game ever played.
