Merv was hurt. He's lost so many semi finals and finals he should have won and i have huge sympathy for him but a 135 to take out the tournament from 9-2 down was fully deserving of a huge celebration from Wade.
Everyone seems to think King's being a sore loser but I think his reaction is more disbelief at what Wade's achieved rather than disgust towards the celebration
I agree. James is not doing something out of the ordinary celebrating. Nothing Merv could object to. He just could not believe he just lost after a 9-2 lead. He does not look irritated or anything.
By Wade's reaction, King says something "not nice" (i.e. no need to rub it in xxxx) at 18:47. Merv is just so sore at being so far ahead a fluffing potential match darts. I do feel for him :)
Scott Waites’ comeback against Wade in the Grand Slam is surely the best comeback in PDC history. If you count the BDO then the 2007 final was one of the best too
Agree. Waites had to play well to win that match whereas Wade averaged just 91.39 to win here. This match had more to do with Mervyn King flopping than any James Wade brilliance. Both players played well in the semis though.
@@anthonymatute6057That was a brilliant comeback. Perhaps Bristow v Wilson in 1989 as well, as Bristow proper had the yips by then but showed big bollocks at the right time to make a match of it.
Call Merv a sore loser if you want to. I'm a big fan of Wade but some of you seem to forget what King said in Wade's interview after. King's reaction at the end was more disbelief if anything and I think he just needed a few moments to gather himself.
So is james wade a bit over the top when it "suits him" or is mervyn a bad loser, id say both, both equally as talented but equally as annoying if things dont go theyre way
@@neil3372 People said that when Wade didn't win a major between 2014 and 2018 that he was finished, then he pops up and wins 2 in a week. You never know with Wade, he has bad spells and sudden spurts of brilliance.
I know the usual way for a 135 is BULL-T15-TOPS, but I think T20-T19-D9 (60+57=117+18=135) would work as well, especially if the bullseye is a point of trouble.
It's about having more potential checkouts. If you go for bull and hit 25 you're left with 110. Then you still have triple 20 bull to finish on. If you miss triple 20 you have 115 and can't do that with 2 darts
Might be. Other candidates would be Lewis vs. Wade in the semi-finals of the World Championship 2011 (?) or van Barneveld vs. Taylor at the World Championship 2007.
I gotta be honest I've always liked Mervyn king, pretty good darts player and I wouldn't call him a sore loser here, it was more "how the fuck did ya do that"
Time he took to call *one hundred and eighty*.. in between I ironed my office dress.. became father of a kid... moved apartment.. resigned and joined the same company again.. recovered from crona virus.. and died happily
Merv, don’t celebrate you Great comeback to kick my Ass, 😢😂 Mate, who wouldn’t celebrate such a great win coinciding with a great finish to win it! *Arden up Merv, and suck it up*
This has nothing to do with James Wade and everything to do with King being a complete bottler. In short , no its not the greatest comeback ever not by a long way
that wasnt better cuz it wasnt for the title. Also Aidy lewis came back 5-1 down in first to 6 sets in the worlds semi final in 2012 then won the final. so i think thats better
@@colite19 das du dich richtig ausssprichst ! Wer soll wissen was du meinst ? Und natürlich gibts hier auch Deutsche die das gucken, schließlich haben sicher viele den PDC Channel abonniert ! Da war wohl wieder einer nur scharf auf Likes was
That celebration was fully deserved the comeback was unreal grow up King boy
right!? Not wades fault king choked!
He was smiling, though. I think it was not meant to be completely serious.
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 smiling to make himself look less of a sore loser but still was a good game they've moved on seeming this ages ago 😂
@@philturner8896 Possible.
Spot on, he thought he was dead. King had 6 darts to win at 10-6, then he closes out with bull, T15 and tops, I would be frigging celebrating too
Merv was hurt. He's lost so many semi finals and finals he should have won and i have huge sympathy for him but a 135 to take out the tournament from 9-2 down was fully deserving of a huge celebration from Wade.
Finally, a good quality video to see Wade's D20 for the title.
Everyone seems to think King's being a sore loser but I think his reaction is more disbelief at what Wade's achieved rather than disgust towards the celebration
No, he's a sore loser. Also the 'king' at making excuses for his losses.
Absolute BS..Merv the perv is an awful sore loser
I agree. James is not doing something out of the ordinary celebrating. Nothing Merv could object to. He just could not believe he just lost after a 9-2 lead. He does not look irritated or anything.
A bit of both at first, then deffo sore
By Wade's reaction, King says something "not nice" (i.e. no need to rub it in xxxx) at 18:47. Merv is just so sore at being so far ahead a fluffing potential match darts. I do feel for him :)
King...what a poor loser🙄...fully deserved celebration from Wade.. great comeback 👍
I 5y r
King has no idea that he lost that match
How about Scott Waites against Wade in Grand Slam Final in 2010? Waites was 8-0 down and won 16-12, that’s gotta be up there with the best comebacks
In 2024 We’re still talking about this amazing game..
Can’t remember king playing after..
Love the Machine
I remember having a big in-play bet on Merv early in the match. Thought I was finally over it until I saw this video. (Yes, I should've traded out!)
From 5-0 down.. to 9-2 down.. to come back, level it and checkout 135. Mental.
thank you for this 480p pdc :D
Chizzy -Thornton had also a great comeback
So funny if you know that Wady wins in the end😂

Is it fuck. Wade had a mental breakdown, my nan would have beat him in that state
i agree scott waites comeback the best
Nixon was 6-0 down, and he made a remarkable comeback to make a 6-6 tie
@@anthonymatute6057That was a brilliant comeback. Perhaps Bristow v Wilson in 1989 as well, as Bristow proper had the yips by then but showed big bollocks at the right time to make a match of it.
This was a match between the greatest player who hasn't been world champ yet against the second greatest player who hasn't been world champ.
So many darters that fit the original pdc line up where great but no wdc title
William LMC really ?????
Chizzy, michael smith, gerwyn price, simon whitlock, mensur suljovic, ian white, u know, the list of players that match your description is quite long
Plenty of players better than King
@ooOoooO wade isn't that bad
If this is over reacting from wade's part, I would like to see king's reaction after losing to Gerwyn Price...
Maybe
King bottled it. You can't miss that many match darts and expect to win the match.
Wade vs Lewis 2012 worlds semi final will never be topped IMO
i agree
What a finish too, hitting that 135 with the bullseye
19:05 "Forget about King , he just can't believe he ad 8 darts at double and didnt do it"
Call Merv a sore loser if you want to. I'm a big fan of Wade but some of you seem to forget what King said in Wade's interview after. King's reaction at the end was more disbelief if anything and I think he just needed a few moments to gather himself.
Yes, his reaction always gets taken in the wrong way.
18:41 Grow up, King, he's come back from 9-2 down to win a title with a great finish
King always has a moan up and pulls faces when someone celebrates winning.
Their quarter final is going to be EPIC
Please upload the full match
Why do players hate James Wade ,, he is a brilliant darts player !
Sometimes he is a bit ass against an opponent
I wonder what noble told wade at the end of the match lol
What about the scott waites comeback against james wade in grand slam final ?
We don't speak about bdo dogs !
So is james wade a bit over the top when it "suits him" or is mervyn a bad loser, id say both, both equally as talented but equally as annoying if things dont go theyre way
Mervyn King is not on the same level as James Wade TBF.
@@WillLMC96 neither of them are on level of winning a major title again, so at the mo the are struggling to be the BEST OF THE REST

@@neil3372 this comment has come back to bite you on the arse.
James Wade is always capable of winning tournements when hes in the right frame of mind, hes hard to beat

King "Really?... Really?" C'mon Merv the man just faught back from 9 - 2 down to win a major title YES REALLY MERV REALLY!
Might be. Other candidates would be Lewis vs. Wade in the semi-finals of the World Championship 2011 (?) or van Barneveld vs. Taylor at the World Championship 2007.
8:40 "He knows , I think , that the game is up"
Merv was probably pissed that he had him at 9-2 and got beat 😆
king, was so butthurt that he tried to gaslight wade's reaction
Never seen mervin King smile like that even though he lost
He never does!
I gotta be honest I've always liked Mervyn king, pretty good darts player and I wouldn't call him a sore loser here, it was more "how the fuck did ya do that"
I wonder why they moved the event away from Scotland 🤔
Very enjoyable
After the 158 checkout I'm amazed King wasn't able to finish the job, cuz that's a really annoying checkout
Only James Wade could not be happy with a win, can't help but find faults in others
King's walk on music has never done him any favours, it's jinx him.
16:14 "Oh bollocks I'm in for a hiding tonight"
The ref whispered in wades ear “don’t worry about him he’s a miserable twat”
King is such a Baby.😂😂🤣 One of the sorest loosers ever in Darts History!😭😂
King is such a bad loser and I love it 😂
I was extremely disappointed when I realised at the end of the match that one of them won.
Perfect
Do sky have the Masters this year?
Dean Dalton its on itv4
I think Rob Cross did it today 🙏🏼
No I think Chisnall against Thrornton 2016
does king shave his hair into that M shape deliberately or is it just a coincidence?
Just a receding hairline lol. Wade’s hairline isn’t much better
jim mick not really a question though was it mate only having a laugh might of been a shit joke but a joke it was
@jeff griffin i know , i just find the fact his names mervin and every time he dips his head hes got a great big massive M on show funny
Wade is a 🔔 end
King lost again with MVG 11-10 and he just do the same in the end.Always lose the most important leg and just blame the others.
He's allowed to be happy Mervyn
Wouldn't you be?
He should of cracked King 👑 while celebrating. King is a dead set flog
MVG vs Cullen good too
Time he took to call *one hundred and eighty*.. in between I ironed my office dress.. became father of a kid... moved apartment.. resigned and joined the same company again.. recovered from crona virus.. and died happily
Total prick
They should throw for the bull to get the darts in the last leg
They probably did that before the match.
@@davebesag HAHA
Merv, don’t celebrate you Great comeback to kick my Ass, 😢😂 Mate, who wouldn’t celebrate such a great win coinciding with a great finish to win it!
*Arden up Merv, and suck it up*
Merv bottled it hard
Dont like either of those guys, but that was special have a look at the face on Merv, like a smacked arse.😂🤣😂🤣
Really!?
How is Wade supposed to react. King one bad, bad sore loser!! He blew it with 8, yes EIGHT match darts. Get a life man!
King making a fool of himself here
What a nob king is , apparently winning the tournament isn't grounds for a celebration especially after that unreal comeback.
King shits himself on the big game's
I never knew king wore ear plugs
Wade should of never have apologized for winning. Merv was a mardy bastard!!
This has nothing to do with James Wade and everything to do with King being a complete bottler. In short , no its not the greatest comeback ever not by a long way
Not now after cross comeback to dobey lol
that wasnt better cuz it wasnt for the title. Also Aidy lewis came back 5-1 down in first to 6 sets in the worlds semi final in 2012 then won the final. so i think thats better
Poor loser there I’m afraid ….. only upset because he should of won it with ease….no need to apologize for celebrating 🥳
baby King ... you lost
Does anyone even like King?
No touch of the fits
Greatest comeback?...one of the worst finals ever...pub darts!
Mervyn the sore loser king
King bottled it
