What A Laugh

GARY ANDERSON watched Phil Taylor hand him a thrashing and could only LAUGH.

The Berwick ace endured a crushing 16-4 defeat to The Power in Sunday's Grand Slam final in Wolverhampton.
Taylor later admitted he enjoys trying to psyche out rivals with big wins but with just a month until the World Championship Anderson says that won't work on him.
He said: "Any player from any era could have turned up on Sunday and Taylor would have still beaten them.
"I don't really care about the scoreline, it's forgotten now, I won't let it get to me in any way.
"It was just one of those nights. Everything Phil threw went in and on that sort of form he is unplayable.
"I lived with him in the opening session and actually had a couple of chances to lead at the break but the second session killed me off, he won all five legs and it was over.
"I was just stood behind him watching and laughing, he's just on a different planet sometimes.
"To be honest, I just wasn't at it last week and I ran into Phil on a night when he was all guns blazing.
"Phil won't be able to get to me psychologically. He likes to beat players before they even get on the stage but he won't get his way with me. I just laugh at him.
"I really don't care about scorelines, records or even losing. You win some, you lose some, but you learn more in defeat than in success and I have to learn the lessons from last week."
Anderson is convinced his time will come against Taylor — and that's his ultimate goal for a major success.
He added: "It was nice winning the Premier League but, no disrespect to Adrian Lewis, I'd prefer to have beaten Phil to win it.
"He's the yardstick. I want to win major titles by beating him when he's at the top, not just when he's had a bad night. He knows I'm capable of it because I beat him in the International Darts League a few years back. He played well, but I won.
"In his mind he knows I did that and perhaps that's why he was so hyped up for Sunday night's final.
"I didn't turn up and he destroyed me but I'll learn from it and come back stronger, that's for sure."
