    A proper Adrian Lewis comeback - and by proper I mean getting back into top 8, major finals, premier league etc etc , not just scraping into the top 32 and making the occasional TV appearance like RVB - is the best thing that could happen to darts imo. Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson are the most satisfying players to watch when they're in full flow.

      Phil was ahead of his time but let’s face it there will be better players. No win will probably get to the amount of titles he won because the competition wasn’t as good back then. Van Gerwin is arguably a better player than Phil was, highest average in a match, most 9 darters in history etc, those are what really show whose the bests titles is unfair as their from two different eras, darts has taken off and the competition is insanely higher now. It’s probably risen more than any other sport as it wasn’t even globally played professionally like it is now

    You cannot compare todays players with Them Days when Dartboards were not so good in the days of
    Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow with the staples around doubles and trebles and bullseye in the boards which them early days had many also bounce outs because of such
    Them guys on form could take any top player today THIS if they were playing on dartboards which the trebles and doubles
    on todays boards are that slight bit more larger as are now without them dreaded large staples in which they had in theeir
    days on the oche to contend themselfs with often .
    So no comparison with todays players who have easier and better dartboards and also had in Phil Taylors days no large staples at all on boards ..But more so in the times when Jocky Wilson and Eric Bristow were at the top of their trades .
    You cant compare today to them days .
