You can tell so much he’s a wrestling fan. He wanted to be a heel and loved it. The difference between him and Price is that Paul asked for the hate and could take it.
Can be easy to hate him but I appreciate the drama, heartbreak and entertainment, would love to see him play again but also love him as a commentator. All the best Paul!
I love paul nicholson met him a few times always polite always honest with an answer to a question hope he gets his tour card back we need to see more of paul playing darts
He deserved one crack at the Premier League. He was box office, and was playing well enough. It could’ve gone o r of two ways, he would’ve enjoyed it so much and got the wins, or he could’ve done a Webby and became demoralised. Cracking dart player
Am I the only one that found his antics entertaining? I had no issue with him. I'd happily have him back at his best and look forward to seeing him play the likes of Price etc. Been a long time since he was at the top table though
It can never happen he hasn't a clue, full of guano never had a clue what he was doing when he (by his low standards) was throwing well. He doesn't realise or care what he's doing to other dart throwers.
Let’s face it, comparing Paul to Phil is like comparing Grimsby to Man U…no disrespect to Grimsby FC ( just promoted to div2, marvellous) Paul’s one moment in the sun is only because it involved the greatest ever darts player. A bit of Phil’s light reflected on him. Apart from that he isn’t even in Simon Whitlock’s league. I like his commentary….an Aussi with a Geordie accent, lol….but as far as darts, he couldn’t sustain any decent level for more than a few weeks. I’ve heard he’s making a comeback…comeback to what, being average?
This guy was a brilliant pantomime villain, the fact that he already looked like a Bond villain's sidekick, like the evil inventor made it better. Nowadays he's by far the best commentator.
Mark Webster who is in this video absolutely dismantled Taylor in the world championships in the very season they're talking about but it's somehow all about Nicholson beating him by one leg 😂
Tiger Woods, Christiano Ronaldo, and Paul Nicholson are on the same level according to Paul Nicholson? This is the same man who also says he was the catalyst for Australian darts, and bemoans that he doesn't get the acclaim he deserves from them? Talks a good talk but compared to Taylor he is not in the picture. Acknowledgement that he was a good player, but he is still a relatively young man who is already living on his past , because he bottled.
These glory fans who like Phil, like Man City or Ronnie at snooker.....Woods at Golf. I like the underdog story and amazing how Phil in recent podcasts comes across as tiresome to pros now with his workhouse job stories and how he survived as a kid....
Two things, has Mark joined Star Fleet! thats a star trek uniform right! and then, Phil Taylor was in my opinion a win at all costs player, he deployed gamesmanship to the highest order to intimidate, yes he was the Best player, however he was also the biggest bully! and absolutely hated losing! i personally think he went too far! however the records books show he is the greatest winner ever! Maybe Paul gave Phil too much of his own medicne in the intimidation game and he does not like it, reference the Mardle question re Painter, Phil hated it and went in to "intimidation mode"
Really like Nicholson and I am glad he is still in the game through commentating. He has not had an easy road in darts either, he got some serious stick as a player, which some people would say he deserved every bit of it - I thought he was great entertainment! I can always remember going to the UK open around 2008? Nicholson was on, the cursing at him was mental, I even met one group of lads who were claiming they got tickets just to heckle Nicholson.
What you should have done, Paul, on nailing that winning double was shake the man's hand & show him that all his pre-match rib poking & story telling didn't work. Waving ANY opponent off IS disrespectful unsporting & childish. You wouldn't have appreciated it yourself and frankly, it's nowt to brag about.
Each and every top player on their game will beat anyone ... I never liked Taylor, his skill and talent is beyond question but he always came across as a sly, manipulative so and so ... but at this level it's the mind games that set you apart and behind the scenes he was an absolute master at it so some matches, if you weren't strong enough to deal with it, it was won before he even did the walk on so kudos to him ...
Webster looks like an extra from Star Trek! I wish Paul would try to get back on the tour. A lot of people didn't like him at the time but I appreciated what he was trying to do - playing the heel, creating a character... kinda backfired. But he has too much talent to waste his prime years away from the oche.
u can hate me bur I'm the 1 going to the quarters, Phil Taylor has 16 world titles, the fact he is a geordie who plays for Australia because he knew he would never get in the England team shut up u clown, Phil Taylor is the goat and will never be surpassed
Sky Sports wanted Paul Nicholson to be a top player so bad back then. He played the villian so well at a time when Taylor was stomping everyone out.
Paul was at his funniest when him and Simon lost in the final to Taylor and Lewis where he half heartedly punched the wall 😂😂
You can tell so much he’s a wrestling fan. He wanted to be a heel and loved it. The difference between him and Price is that Paul asked for the hate and could take it.
Im still baffled all these years later how Nicholson played with the Australian World cup team with that thick Geordie accent
You can here the Ozzie slip through every now and then - But yeah was shocked when I heard him speak 😂
Can be easy to hate him but I appreciate the drama, heartbreak and entertainment, would love to see him play again but also love him as a commentator. All the best Paul!
I love paul nicholson met him a few times always polite always honest with an answer to a question hope he gets his tour card back we need to see more of paul playing darts
Hope not. This clown has had his day.
I think this guys great. Probably because I cant stand Phil Taylor 🤣
Taylor did beat him 24 times in a row
@J R Hartley cos Nicholson was shite
What a shame, Phil speaks so highly of you.
He’s a cock. So is Phil Taylor.
But the idea they had some kind of rivalry is bollocks. Phil could probably have beaten this guy left-handed.
Phil Taylor sex offender
Nicholson was great for darts
Hope he wins his TC back
I don’t, nice bloke away from the board, when he’s on stage he’s a sausage
@@azamatbagatov7486 made games interesting
Too many pals there now
Nicholson has done the modus super series ..unfortunately it is so boring ..like premier league . . . .snooze fest !
Nicholson certainly talks a good game
He deserved one crack at the Premier League. He was box office, and was playing well enough. It could’ve gone o r of two ways, he would’ve enjoyed it so much and got the wins, or he could’ve done a Webby and became demoralised. Cracking dart player
Is that a chip on his shoulder I see🤔
Am I the only one that found his antics entertaining? I had no issue with him. I'd happily have him back at his best and look forward to seeing him play the likes of Price etc. Been a long time since he was at the top table though
It can never happen he hasn't a clue, full of guano never had a clue what he was doing when he (by his low standards) was throwing well.
He doesn't realise or care what he's doing to other dart throwers.
He never will be in fact he never was
@@fourcandles9413
Comma-less?
I stand corrected!
probably.
Couldn’t lace the power Taylor’s shoes.
Let’s face it, comparing Paul to Phil is like comparing Grimsby to Man U…no disrespect to Grimsby FC ( just promoted to div2, marvellous) Paul’s one moment in the sun is only because it involved the greatest ever darts player.

Lol more like a comeback to mediocrity billbailey
Well said.
He hated him because he said he would put Taylor to sleep at the world match play 😂😂😂
I don't think Taylor was the only player to dislike him. Nicholson is about as charismatic as a mouthful of phlegm.
The PDC have found a new presenter! Great work Lewis!
Yep you beat him twice. Over a period of around a year. Good on you.
Isn’t enough characters like Nicholson in the modern game. Top guy!
He tried to cause a bad atmosphere between him and Phil just to try and get a place in the premier league and failed miserably
This guy was a brilliant pantomime villain, the fact that he already looked like a Bond villain's sidekick, like the evil inventor made it better.
Nowadays he's by far the best commentator.
He had to make a bit of a name for himself somehow because it was never going to be as a darts player!
Absolutely spot on Leejames,,He was a born loser when it came to darts,He was an absolute joke ,
Well said.
Paul Nicholson......who?
i miss Paul's Walk on it was cool as hell 😂
Mark Webster who is in this video absolutely dismantled Taylor in the world championships in the very season they're talking about but it's somehow all about Nicholson beating him by one leg 😂
Paul Nicholson had one good year and he’s goes on like he’s won 5 world titles
Mark webster needs replacing big time
Can't he return to unblocking toilets ?
Legend in his own mind is Nicholson.
A few lucky wins by Nicholson... zzzz
Sounds to me Pauls best result ever beating phil.16 worlds to a big fat zero.never mind son
Nice one.... Nicholson never got past the quarter finals... how many times did Taylor wave at him?? Taxi for Nicholson!!!!
Up against you're what 🤣
This guy won note
Nicholson was so cringe as a player. Decent pundit and commentator now though tbh
Nicholson was pure 00s cringe, loved it
Man the walk ons with the sunglasses were pure cringe hahaha
When he used to salute as well 😂😂
..his commentating is so boring ......RIP Sid . . . . . ..
The only reason why Taylor struggled against Nicholson because he was too busy thinking of ripping his head off is shoulders
24-2 Taylor
Tiger Woods, Christiano Ronaldo, and Paul Nicholson are on the same level according to Paul Nicholson?
This is the same man who also says he was the catalyst for Australian darts, and bemoans that he doesn't get the acclaim he deserves from them?
Talks a good talk but compared to Taylor he is not in the picture. Acknowledgement that he was a good player, but he is still a relatively young man who is already living on his past , because he bottled.
Not the same skill level
I find it hard to believe that Phil Taylor could hate anyone except maybe Daryl Gurney or Justin Pipe.
Why those two.
PAUL NICHOLSON "AN AUSTRIALIAN DARTS LEGEND IN HIS OWN HEAD"
Who is this guy? Never heard of him.
Least Paul hasn't committed any crimes which tarnishes Phils achievements somewhat
He was that great, I've only just seen him till this day. 😳
16 times world champion Phil Taylor vs 0 world championships Paul Nicholson
Cocky Nicholson talking like his head to head record against Taylor isn't 2-24
Did he compare himself to Tiger Woods & Cristiano Ronaldo hahahah
Not on skill level don't shit your self 😅
Well the Ronaldo comparison is accurate since he cries like a baby when things don’t go his way
Just like when he lost against Lewis and Taylor 😂😂
Not at all
Nickers down ...a p***oof ter ...... 🤣🤣🤣
These glory fans who like Phil, like Man City or Ronnie at snooker.....Woods at Golf. I like the underdog story and amazing how Phil in recent podcasts comes across as tiresome to pros now with his workhouse job stories and how he survived as a kid....
I used to dislike Nicholson, but over the years Phil has proved to be a complete knob, so I can see it from his point now 😂🎉
Alot do 🤣🤣
Loves himself this bloke there's two sides to a story he s making himself look tuff but I think it was a lot of jealous 😢😢
Why don't Paul play anymore?
Two things, has Mark joined Star Fleet! thats a star trek uniform right! and then, Phil Taylor was in my opinion a win at all costs player, he deployed gamesmanship to the highest order to intimidate, yes he was the Best player, however he was also the biggest bully! and absolutely hated losing! i personally think he went too far! however the records books show he is the greatest winner ever!

What a helmet
I am Australian and never liked him.
Well he's not really Australian is he? lmao
I don't blame you.
Really like Nicholson and I am glad he is still in the game through commentating. He has not had an easy road in darts either, he got some serious stick as a player, which some people would say he deserved every bit of it - I thought he was great entertainment!

Paul Nicholson great player and great guy 🎯🎯👏👏👏🏴🏴🏴
Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, calm down Paul!
This mans worse than thrush
Not being funny but I can't listen to this guy when he commentates, he's not too bad here
He's arrogant, always has been.
Paul "porkey" Nicholson

most ppl hated you
hands down one of the greatest characters of the game
You must be kidding.
Paul Nicholson was brilliant for the game his antics is what made the game more entertaining
Pish
Yet I'm bet you're the 1st person to call Price out for the same shit
He was never a great player even though sky kept bigging him up
