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."

When you can throw 11, 10 then 11 dart finishes to win the set I guess ya can bounce around as much as you like, but let's not forget the lad is 17, he has the weight of expectation on his shoulders, and that showed at the end when the emotion got the better of him leaving him in tears and unable to do the post match Interview.

Agreed... but its that emotion that might just get him beat... if the lad he was playing tonight had a cover shot he could have been in trouble...

Yup the sudden realisation of the amount of pressure being thrown into the lad, we forget he is only 17, but already he has achieved so many things and lifted the sport to another level. You only have to look round the stores to see the 'Luke 'the nuke' Littler' effect on the shelves.
