The Betway Premier League is outside mainland UK for the final time this season as Belfast hosts tonight's action; rumours that Brendan Dolan and Daryl Gurney have prepared a "special surprise" for another 9 dart finish are still unproven.
Doubling up this week are the two competitors in the horrendous 2013 World Grand Prix final (and slightly less horrendous 2014 Grand Slam of Darts final) and the rape victim on that night - Dave Chisnall - plays another Stokie in Adrian Lewis. The dim one managed to throw away seven match darts to drop a vital point in Liverpool, while Aidey hit a majestic nine darter against the 5 time world champion on his way to a convincing victory.
That night's rapist Phil Taylor is then up against expert Pheel remover Gary Anderson. Gando was the beneficiary of Chizzy's inability to win, and with Taylor having thrown away a 5-3 lead last week, another similar bottlejob would see the Scot move into second and leave Pheel 1 point outside the top 4.
Taylor's victor last time out James Wade faces clown Peter Wright in the night's middle fixture. Classic Wade was on display last week while Wright managed to fuck up 4 attempts to put away the World Number 1 and then got raped by the real Scot. The two met in the weekend's Euro Tour event and ended the match in frosty circumstances, so it'll be interesting to see if that repeats.
Another weekend repeat follows with the king of all Dutch derbies as Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld clash. The Autism Express won the Euro Tour event averaging a ridiculous 107 over his five matches, including 105 in his quarter-final defeat of RVB. Crucially though, Barney ended MVG's TV unbeaten streak, and a similar performance would really shake things up at the top.
Ending the evening are Chizzy and Taylel, who both need the win to keep any O2 hopes alive. You just get the feeling that even vulnerable Pheel will pump the dunce though.
Coverage starts from 7:00pm UK time on Sky Sports 1.

If Wright wasn't such an insecure attention-seeking prick, he wouldn't keep changing his darts.
Dropped 7 points off his average from last week because of it.

No idea, m8. He's always on and off - never really regular, it seems. See you next week, lad.

And that D4 ends quite a surprising night in Belfast, especially if you're a yellow dunce from St. Helens.
That is because Dave Chisnall is somehow still in with a chance of qualifying for the O2 with a double defeat of Stoke's greatest. Dave's first victory came at the expense of the inconsistent Adrian Lewis, who was averaging under 80 early on in the match as Chizzy went 3-0 up. Although Lewis finally got going on a 99 after busting it the previous visit, he won only two more legs as the yellow one averaged 104 and finished at 54% in victory.
Phil Taylor staged a quite phenomenal fightback as he overturned a 4-0 deficit with seven straight legs to beat Gary Anderson. The Prowler had no composure early on as Gando hit 44 to go 4 ahead with a whitewash on the cards. However, it's clear Gando had lumped it all on a Taylor 7-4 as Pheel went crazy, hitting 17 140s and outscoring the Scot to the point where he only had 1 more attempt at a finish. This was rare classic Taylor: hopefully the last time.
Peter Wright's decision to change his darts yet again luckily paid off as James Wade was all but eliminated in a dour fixture that saw both men average in the mid-90s. There's really nothing else to say about it.
Raymond van Barneveld's 50th birthday celebrations were completely ruined as Michael van Gerwen gained revenge for his sole loss in the PL so far. A Barney 140 was his only big moment as the Autism Express powered in a 103 average, which was just too much for the inner bull-reaching Dutchman.
Chizzy then stunned Taylor with a similar performance to his opener: an early break followed by constant holds. Pheel turning down a 122 bull finish at 5-2 down backfired as he failed to take out D16 and didn't win another leg.
The final 5-fixture night of this year's PL is next week:
>James Wade v Adrian Lewis >Dave Chisnall v Michael van Gerwen >Phil Taylor v Peter Wright >Gary Anderson v Raymond van Barneveld >Adrian Lewis v Michael van Gerwen
See you then.
Michael Davis
Whoops - I made a typo:
>Pheel turning down a 122 bull finish to score 90 at 3-1 down backfired as he failed to take out D16 and won just one more leg.
Carter Martin
lol. Also lol at the feeler. See you next week mate.
