Just watching. Sad that Wayne Mardles wife passed away last week. Very young. Seems that darts is becoming something of a global phenomenon.
Backed Humphries to go back to back , only cos he was better value then Littler . Can’t see past either of them if they hit top form of recent months . I love darts but think the field is too big at 96 , some of the early games are boring . I only really get into it properly after round one .
De Decker is a contender but he will play Humphries then Littler if the draw plays out to the seedings.
Dutch lad playing now, Jermain Wattimena could go deep, had a decent season. Shame it won't be a Humphries/Littler final as they're scheduled to meet in the semis should it go to form
Sky lost out on hyperboling Sherrock v Littler,, both played like they were actively trying to avoid playing him anyway
Yeah Paddy Power are giving 60k each to player, someone in crowd and Prostate Cancer Uk for every 9 darter hit at the world championships
A lot of debate on female presenters on Match Of The Day , I’d like to fully get behind Emma Paton in the darts .
Surprised no Sid Quotes Can’t beat them On winning "[He's] as happy as a hound-dog who's won a year's supply of Boneo." "If we'd had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans, they'd have gone home." "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … [Eric] Bristow's only 27." "Look at the man go: it's like trying to stop a water buffalo with a pea-shooter." On losing "He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave." "Bob came on like the Laughing Cavalier … now he looks like Lee Van Cleef on a bad night." "It's the nearest thing to public execution this side of Saudi Arabia." On feeling the pressure "He's perspiring like a pudding in a pot." "His eyes are bulging like the belly of a hungry chaffinch." "His face is sagging with tension." On silence in the hall "The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them." "There was less noise when Pompeii was swamped in lava! Absolute pandemonium here! Barmaids are frozen like Greek statues watching! No beer's been served! Everybody's eyes [are] absolutely hooked on that board."
