Michael van Gerwen retained top spot in the Premier League as he narrowly missed out on a nine-darter in a 7-2 win over Raymond van Barneveld. The world No 1 sent his ninth dart narrowly above double 12 in the sixth leg, but remained in control for much of a one-sided win over his fellow Dutchman.But Phil Taylor remains level on points with Van Gerwen after matching him with a 7-2 win over Adrian Lewis, and the two rivals will collide in next weeks final night of the regular season in Rotterdam. Michael van Gerwen reflects on the near nine-darter and his upcoming match against Phil Taylor Fourth-placed Lewis might still have work to do on the closing evening, with Peter Wright just a point behind him, but Gary Anderson in third has qualified for the play-offs after a 7-1 thrashing of Robert Thornton.Earlier in the night, Wright kept alive his hopes of finishing fourth after inflicting a 7-1 thumping on James Wade, who also had play-off aspirations. Peter Wright can still snatch a top four place in Rotterdam But Snakebite did just enough to edge out The Machine in a tense encounter lacking in high scores or ruthless finishing.Wright continued to land the final dart, amid a string of wayward arrows from both men, and would seal victory with double 16 to keep the pressure on Lewis. Gary Anderson has secured his spot at The O2 Anderson can relax ahead of the Premier Leagues first trip to the Netherlands as he easily defeated fellow Scot Thornton, who has struggled throughout the campaign.Van Gerwen then took to the stage for his latest showdown with Barney and the Dutch pair traded the opening few legs. But The Green Machine then cranked into gear after narrowly failing to complete a perfect leg and sealed victory in style, ending a sizzling 167 checkout on the bullseye. Phil Taylor gives his thoughts after staying joint-top of the Premier League table It was then Taylors turn to stay in the hunt for top spot and he duly obliged, punishing a succession of stray darts from Lewis.The Power almost mimicked Van Gerwen with his winning checkout, taking out a 121 finish on the bullseye.

Who would have known that when he was signed by the club for its inaugural 1993 season, De Santis would go on to carve out for himself one of the most distinguished careers, on and off the pitch in North American soccer history. Ask yourself now, who else comes to mind? Exactly. Through his tenures as player, player/assistant coach, head coach, GM and Sporting Director - outside of an MLS Cup and CONCACAF Champions League title, De Santis has been a winner. Seen it all too. Many tag De Santis as the Face of the Organization. He was much more than that. De Santis is both the face and force of the Impact. Driven, possessing of an unbridled competitive spirit -- like very few others ever to take to the pitch in North America -- and with an overriding passion, will and determination to succeed, De Santis was loved by many and loathed by others. Even the Dalia Lama has his detractors. De Santis left an impression, not always favourable with whomever he came into contact with. Like a few others that come to mind across world football, De Santis could spark a furious debate in a phone booth. The man cared. Like no other I have seen in all my years, from those early, Impact incubating days sitting in the empty stands over at Complexe Sportif Claude-Robillard right on through the clubs entire history. Relieved of his duties in midweek - a vast chasm and gap just like the abundance of pot holes and sink holes which define Montreal these days now exists over at Saputo Stadium. Everyone might be replaceable, as the old adage goes, but these are mighty big shoes to fill. Just as in 2006 when Mike Moretto left the club, it will take two people to fulfill the roles De Santis did. We got our first indication De Santis was on thinner ice during the clubs 2013 post-mortem last November when Joey Saputo announced that from now on, his Sporting Director and dear friend, would now solely focus on the senior team. As the winter turned to spring and now in the midst of deep summer with defeats forming like an iceberg, that thin ice De Santis was skating on slowly ebbed and flowed away. De Santis, as he has done throughout his entire career, went down fighting. From some ex-teammates and coaches through to certain sections of the supporter base and media, there will be those who will take a form of pleasure in his demise. Rivals and foes formed over two decades wont though. The very best definition I have of the Saputo/De Santis relationship comes from an old teammate who once described it to me in very simple terms.dddddddddddd "Nick is Joeys confidence." Confidant, Counsel and Consciousness, not many football club owners are fortunate enough to have such a relationship and conduit. Saputo could always count on De Santis. Make no mistake; the De Santis DNA touched in some way, shape or form all aspects of the club on and off the pitch. These past few months could not have been easy for Saputo as he slowly realised De Santis time was up and the president had to face up to the inevitable. He had to let go of the man who he walked stride in stride with for nearly half of his entire life. Not only in the professional sense, but as crucially in the family, and personal sense as well. Anyone who has been fortunate, as I have over the years, to attend and witness the likes of pre-season team introduction events, post-season banquets through to the Saputo Stadium ground breaking ceremony and inaugural weekend, let alone the championship matches and other defining football moments, knows De Santis commands the love and respect of the extended Saputo family. Saputos apt choice of word Wednesday morning, "relieved when announcing De Santis had paid the price, likely also best describes how Saputo himself felt. The inner anguish, the personal and professional turmoil the Impacts president has suffered through these past few months especially, was finally at an end. De Santis time with the club though is not. Announced to become part of the clubs administration in as yet undefined role is only right and fitting. Two things immediately spring to mind. The first was in June 2008 when it was announced De Santis was let go as head coach but was appointed as GM - someone in the media questioned why he had been promoted. Saputo let it be known right there, De Santis would always be a part of the club. The other occasion was down on the pitch in October 2009 shortly after the Impact had clinched their third playoff title. Live on the radio I put it to De Santis – youve won it as a player, a coach and now as GM when will you win it as President? "Lets not talk about that, lets just enjoy this moment," was his deadpan response. A place in the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame awaits. As a club tribute, a statue of De Santis should grace Saputo Stadium. To be placed just outside the players entrance. After two decades of football service the local lad from east end St Michel might be gone from the pitch, but he will not ever be forgotten. Je me souviens.
