KNOB OF THE WEEK

Step up Joe Cullen. Here is a former Masters winner, former PL player now dropping like a stone in the rankings. He rocked up to both Players Championships earlier this week, where both events were completely depleted of all top talent and lost to Neils Zonneveld in event #22 and in #23 Owen Bates averaging 85 beat Cullen 6-1 in the last 128.
To turn up to both events and drop down in the rankings is some doing.. He dropped down to world #30


MATCHPLAY
The Matchplay final was a repeat of the UK Open final, the previous ranking major this year. No surprise Littler, and Wade who also won a floor title  were the top earneRS of the calendar year. Even before the quarter finals Littler had made more money in the first 6 months of 2025 than he did in 2023, and so did Wade, so financially rewarding for both justified finalists.  As expected Littler again came out on top in their rematch of the UK Open


Its no surprise Mardle spoutS endless bullshit but when he referred to the littler 9 darter as the second best 9  dart ever, he was referring to the best being MvG-v- Bellyboy being the best. I believe the littler one was better because every single dart was perfect, unlike the MvG Bellyboy where there was a missed dart, so in terms of perfection Littlers was better, I will go ever further, Nico Springer hit a 9 darter in the German Super League which saw both players hit 6 perfect darts before Springer made the 9 so technically the leg Mardle refers to as the best is not even in the top 2 as both others had absolute perfection. Then why would that cunt Mardle ever let the truth get in the way of his agenda ?



PDC MUNTERPLAY

Who was the first woman  to win a PDC tourcard ? Lisa Ashton
Who was the first woman to hit a 100 average on PDC tv ? Lisa Ashton
Who was the first woman to play in 4 PDC World championships ? Lisa Ashton
Who was the woman Twat Porter decided to ignore and never hype...thats right Lisa Ashton a former 4 time Women's champion

Instead the PDC with a long history of selective favouritism decided to hype Fallon Sherrock, and braindead fans who are so gullible will believe anything they booed 2 jobbers that played Pinocchio at Ally Pally and Twat Porter would have you believe those 2 wins made her the greatest female ever. No mention of the appalling crowd behavior against the male jobbers ever mentioned, of course they never mentioned how she is a 7 time Q-school failure, and those 2 lucky wins against jobbers was half a decade ago.The PDC tried to pretend Sherrock was the first woman to beat a man on tv in the PDC. Unless it suits the agenda of Twat Porter the PDC only promote what suits them. So did the PDC give Ashton the same respect ? Of course not they were on to their next favourite player, Beau Greaves, the female version of Littler, both talented, both obese, both chavs and both thick as pig shit. I do not blame Sherrock, but Twat Porter for this favouritsm, and equal disrespect to others more deserving.

Last Sunday was the PDC Munterplay, obviously I had better things to do on a wonderful Sunday afternoon than subject myself to that shit, but throughout the previous week when the event was being promoted all the hype went on Pinocchio and the Honey Monster, so when I found out later Ashton won I laughed. When I saw the highlights it was even funnier as Pinocchio missed Eleven match darts, whilst that absolute human defect Stuart Pyke sounded disgusted, which is always a bonus. You could hear the disappointment from the panel, the crowd which was quieter than some at funerals, they seemed shocked Ashton won as these abortion surviving mutants have been conditioned to think whatever Twat Porter hypes. 

Sherrock missed 11 match darts, and for that the blame lies on her. I tried to find a wikipedia page for the Women's Matchplay and even wikipedia does not have one for the history of the event, as you have to type each yearly event in separate for the women's events. Normally I might give Pinocchio Knob of the Week for those 11 missed darts, but she did reach the final and I will give Pinocchio some credit though, I respect her for doing all real women a favour and beating the biological man that was allowed enter the fiasco. Men have no place in the women's game, the clue is in the title "women's". No amount of brainwashing, government made laws, public opinion, agenda etc can or will ever alter the reality that a biological male cannot be a female. You cannot alter the laws of biology. Simps will call this hate speech but it is not its just speech they hate, as the truth hurts. As for Ashton, delighted for her, to not only win but beat Twat Porters 2 favourites along the way and spoil the Greaves-Sherrock final they wanted.
Credit to also to the WDF for banning mentally ill cross dressers from Women.s events, who would have thought the WDF would show more sense than the PDC who still allow those men to play in Women's events, and will and have ejected fans who dare voice their disapproval. I read reports last weekend how some people protesting Noah Man Lueven inclusion in the Women's event were bruised and assaulted by security staff who them ejected them from the building

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS

Every single player in the PDC top 12 gave the players champs a skip, he was a chance for Chizzy, Smudger and Noppert  who were inside the top 16 to make ground, maybe Wattimena the highest ranked player without a PDC title had as good a chance as any?
The Match fixer went out first round and made zero , wonderful. Also out went Babs, the other seeds to go first round were Schindler, Joyce, Gilding, Rydz, Barney, Pikachu, Edhouse, Williams and Huybrechts. In the last 64, out went Smudger, Chizzy, Gurney, De Decker, Ratajski, Magpie, Dolan, Razma & Mansell. In the last 32 out went Cullen, Wattimena, Soutar,Woodhouse, Doets, and Lukeman. Menzies and Clemens went in the last 16 and in the last 8 there was only 3 seeds left. Then the #5 seed Van Veen went out to Bialecki, and in the semis #8 seed Noppert went out to Bialecki with the Pole playing Neil Zonneveld in the final. I was happy Zonneveld did not win, last thing I want is him climbing the rankings. The Pole climbed 19 spots to world #79 and cemented his appearances in not only the PC Finals but the Worlds also, a huge win for him.
In the next event Wattimena finally won his first title, beat Wenig, who was also going for his first. It is the first time ever 3 players champs were won in a row by first time winners. Fattimena's win saw him jump 4 places to #26 and bialecki jumped 17 spots to #81. Cullen played in both depleted fields and managed to drop a spot to #30. Good for Wattimena, even if the fat cunt wept like a faggot afterwards.

 

WORLD MATCHPLAY

WADE -V- CULLEN
At 4-2 down the only double Cullen had a shot at in the last 6 legs was the 140 he took out for 8-3, he had just 4 shots at a double in the entire game, Wade averaged almost 105.Wades best leg was 10 darter.
NOPPERT -V- MENZIES
The Jock is a moron and a mess and bust 178 at 3-0 down, and thanks to Noppert fucking up he managed to take his first leg for 7-1 but it was all one way traffic.It was not like Noppert was even in top gear.
HUMPHRIES -V- VAN VEEN
I am a big fan of both, but was delighted to see Van Veen win, and looked unlikely with Humphries taking out 146 for 3-2, but Humphries started to lose composure and the plot and at  7-7, missed doubles saw Humphries blow chances  and Van veen stayed solid and took a huge win.
ASPINALL -V- MATCH FIXING CUNT
I am no fan of Asp but I despise the match fixing prick who has no place in the game, and sadly the cheating prick won a class game where Asp was constantly chasing. There was 16 maximums, and out went Asp who was defending 200k, no more PL for stutters.
HETA -V- GILDING
Goldfinger missed double 12 for the 9 darter but took the leg to trail 5-4 and both averaging over a ton. When Gilding hit a 177 to leave 20, Heta took out 130 for 8-6, Gilding broke with a 104  and held for 8-8, the breaks kept coming and it went 10-10 before Gilding broke and held for the win. Both averaged over a ton and shared 18 maximums. Another classic.
CROSS -V- VAN DUIJVENBODE.
Cross started brilliantly and led 6-2 and this looked over and done, but Dirk pressed and got back to 6-6, and at 7-7 Cross missed 3 darts for the leg and Dirk took out a huge 137 and held for 9-7 and held for the win 10-8. Dirk won 8 of the last 10 legs, a collapse from Cross in a game that saw 13 maximums.
WRIGHT -V- WATTIMENA.
After an early break Wattimena led 3-1 with 100% on doubles and went in to the interval 4-1 up and missed darts for 6-1, and went into the second break 7-3 up. Wright picked it up a bit and won the next 3 legs to trail 7-6 and missed a dart for 7-7, Wattimena missed darts for 9-7 and Wright broke for 8-8 as Wattimena went to shit. Wright missed darts for 9-8 and Wattimena threw for the win and wrapped it up with his 4th match dart, a game that seemed to drag on.
CHISNALL -V- DE DECKER
Chizzy broke twice and still lost the opening session 3-2, in a poor game. Chizzy missed darts to break 4-3, but at the interval it was 5-5. At 6-6 Chizzy broke and the crowd woke up but it did not last long as Decker broke and ran out the winner. I just wanted it to end. Chizzy was, is and will always be a tv jobber.
ANDERSON -V- WOODHOUSE
I am always happy to see a former winner progress, and despite going 2-0 Ando hit the gas and won the session 3-2, at 5-5 Ando let the boring fuck for dead and romped home.
CLAYTON -V- SCHINDLER
The German was averaging around 105 and was 6-2 down, as clayton was superb. Clayton did drop his standard but won 10-7. Schindler lost with a 103 average.There was 14 maximums in the game.
LITTLER -V- SEARLE
Comms were wanking themselves blind over Littler going 4-0 up averaging 123. Speaking of blind, Searle played well, but lets be honest even if Littler played his C game, Searle would have still lost as he is like Chizzy another tv jobber. Littler finished with a 108 average.
BUNTING -V- JOYCE
I do not get some people absolute love for a fat scouser, he hit 10 maximums but it was a poor game, and Joyce had his chances and came from 8-4 to 8-8 and had the darts but missed double 5 and Bunting broke and held for the win.
DOBEY -V- PIETRECZKO
Dobey really had to dig deep to stay in it early doors, but when he got 7-4 ahead the petulant hun faded and Dobey stayed stronger without being anywhere close to be top level.I like Pikachu, then Dobey is a charisma vacuum so hardly surprising. Dobey won easily with a scabby 90 average.
PRICE -v- GURNEY
Price was broke in leg one but won the next 4 to take the session with ease, at 8-6 up Gurney took out 150 to break and the next leg saw 3 maximums and Price broke to throw for the win which he secure. I certainly did not miss the miserable northern irish cunt. Price finished with a ton average. I wont miss Gurney.
VAN GERWEN -v- VAN BARNEVELD
Speaking of miserable cunts, both these fuckers are totally unlikable, and both were shit, like the Dobey game it was a case of the least worst player winning with Hunchback taking the first 2 session 3-2 for a 6-4 lead. Good riddance Barney.
SMITH --v- ROCK
Smudger started atrocious and was soon 5-0 down, maybe his recent comments how he can win future majors was ill timed. Smudger did get 3 legs but was 7-3 down at the interval but the fat blob Rock had the momentum and did not let up and taking out 140 to break and lead 9-7 killed Smudger's hopes.

SECOND ROUND
NOPPERT -V- VAN VEEN
Despite going 2-0 down gian rattled off 7 on the spin including  150 & 120 checkouts and missed darts for 8-2.Noppert held twice and then broke to throw for 8-6 but Gian broke and held 10-5 and moved a leg away.There was no way back. Noppert was the 7th player in the world top 16 to exit at that point.
WADE - V- MATCH FIXING CUNT
Wade had chances in leg one but took the next 3 to lead at the interval. The match fixing cunt broke but Wade took out 108 and 121 and won the session 3-2 again. Wade then took out 2 checkouts on the bull for 8-4, broke and held for 10-4 and saw out the game with a 102 average. Since I like Wade and despise the cheating match fixer this for me was a superb result.
BUNTING -V- ANDERSON
Gando started well, scored better and led 3-1 and 5-3 but the wheels came off as Ando missed countless doubles and went 8-6 down. Bunting missed d12 for the 9 darter but it was poor quality. At 10-7 Ando woke up and took it to a tie break at 10-10 but then collapsed. This was another game where the fat scouser averaged just low 90s and scraped through against an opponent who either jobbed or not show up.
CLAYTON -V- DE DECKER
Another game where both averaged low 90s, Clayton won the first 2 sessions 3-2, and a hold and break saw him go 8-4 up.After a few breaks each Clayton went 10-7 up and the writing was on the wall for the Belgian. I wont miss him.
GILDING -V- DUIJVENBODE
Goldfinger came out flying going 4-0 up averaging 110, and at 5-0 they traded legs until Dirk broke to trail 8-5 but Gilding took out 103 to break back and held for 10-5 and this was basically over. Gilding was solid and finished with a ton average.
DOBEY -V- PRICE
I missed the first session and returned to found out Price was 4-1 up averaging 114. Dobey took out 142 to break but Price broke back and when he hit an 11 and a 12 dart break of throw, Dobey looked done as Price went 8-2 up now averaging almost 116. After the interval, Price broke and held and it was 10-2, Dobey took a leg and was averaging a decent 98 but he was getting mauled. Price finished with a 108.73 average.
LITTLER -V- WATTIMENA
It was time to switch off as I dislike both players, and listened to some podcasts whilst had the pdc live scores on and saw the obese kebab guzzling fucker fucking around with an 82 average and Fattimena go 4-0 up, but still expected the rotund chav to turn it around. Fattimena blew multiple darts for 5-1, but did break back and hold for 6-2. 7 perfect darts saw Fattimena go 7-2, but Littler won 5 on the spin and averaging almost a ton and with the Dutch choker missing darts for 9-9, was lucky to get another go, but he was hanging on and Littler missed match darts and it went 11-11 and it was only a matter of time Littler broke and threw for the win which he got after Fattimena missed 4 darts for 12-12.
VAN GERWEN -V- ROCK
Hunchback broke in leg one with a 150 checkout, and depsite Cock breaking, MvG broke 3 times in the first session for a 4-1 lead. hunchback missed darts for a break and 6-1 as Rock held, broke and held to trail 5-4, but MvG held to lead 6-4 at the second interval. He scored superb but his doubling was hurting him. The pair traded 4 legs until MvG broke for 9-6, but missed darts for 10-6 and Rock broke for 9-7 and took out 152 to trail 8-9 and broke to made it 9-9, and made it 4 legs on the spin to hold for 10-9. Mvg took out a huge 138 for 10-10. After Rock held, MvG was throwing to save the match, and Rock missed a match dart and it was 11-11. Rock hit 2 maximums and was lucky to win the leg and lead again and broke the hunchback for the win with a 95 average.

QUARTER FINALS
Van Veen and Gilding were the only 2 players out the top 16 in the world left in the last 8.The dumb cow cunt on sky told us Bunting was in championship form. The fat scouse over rated cunt who won nothing of note ever in his career was lucky against Joyce, and Ando. His 92 average in his previous game is not "championship form". He has never won a ranking major in the PDC, in fact he has not even reached the final of one, those non ranking meaningless shit like World Series and exbos do not matter. He just wins some floor comps mostly when the top players give them a skip. The obese fucker has always annoyed  me since the day he weeped like a fat fucking faggot in the arms of Barney and claimed he was a World Champion cos he won a bdo mickey mouse event. He is obviously mentally ill, no normal person allows themselves to become obese and accepts it.

VAN VEEN -V- WADE
I was not happy with the draw as both Wade and Van Veen are among my top 3 favourite players in the top of the PDC currently, so one of them would be going out, on the flip side one would be in the semi. Wade started shit  and lost the session 4-1. He was 1 from 12 on doubles. Wade in the next session won 5-0 and was 5 from 6 on doubles. Wade hit 4 maximums and 13 x 140, his scoring was solid. Wade then held and broke and held to make it 8 legs on the spin for 9-4, held for 10-5. They then traded legs as Wade kept holding to maintain his lead at 12-8 at the break Gian finally got a break to reach 10 legs and threw to make it 11-13 after Wade blew multiple doubles, Wade was now on the backfoot throwing shit as Gian missed 2 darts to break again and Wade held for 14-11, Gian held, but so did wade to go within a leg at 15-12.  Gian was playing better and winning his throw with ease and made it 13-15, but Wade then put in a super leg and wrapped it up with a 3rd match dart. Wade scored better, deserved the win but Gian played better at the end and came close to getting the breaks he needed.

CLAYTON -V- BUNTING 
Went for a shower and came back to see Clayton be 4-0 up and then go 5-0 at the interval. Live scores said a 110 average and a 160 checkout. Remember how we were told by a idiotic munter that Bunting's 92 average was "championship form" ? Well he was now almost 96 and still getting dry fisted. Clayton had to throw an awful leg for Bunting to hold, and the fat scouser had to depend on Clayton missing more doubles for him to hold for 2-6, and all 5 legs went with throw in the session. I was bored, a typical boring game looking at an ugly scouse git against Clayton who has as much charisma as Cardboard Dobey. I like Clayton, seems a nice guy but this was boring as fuck. Clayton's 110 average was now down to 95.  The crowd were bored senseless. The third session ended with the score 10-5, the holds continued until the Taffy broke for 13-7 at the interval and Clayton broke for 15-7 with a 108 checkout. This could not end quick enough, and out went the fat fuck.That fat scouse cunt deserves nothing with his low 90 averages.
LITTLER -V- GILDING
Went to the pub, not expecting anything more than a Litter cakewalk and only saw the youtube highlights, and what I saw fair play to Gilding he put in a solid performance, full kudos to the guy, who came within a leg of taking it to a tie break, cannot fault him with some crucial checkouts
PRICE -V- ROCK
Again this was only the highlights I saw, with the podgey cunt winning the session 3-2 on thow, and breaking to take the second session 3-2 for 6-4. Price did edge the next session but still trailed 11-9., when Rock broke for 13-9 it was the beginning of the end for Price.

On the plus side at least one of Littler and Cock was going out, and writing this now we have Wade - Clayton, and 2 fat cunts in the other semi. I expect Littler to win it ouright beating Clayton in the final, which is hardly going out on a limb, but regardless of results it has been a wonderful competition, and hard to begrudge any of the remaining players a victory as all 4 have proved their worth.. That said Littler possibly had the easiest run in terms of opponents but struggled so far





Of course those who read every week just to moan about the blog claimed that Wade only just became the #5. What these mentally stunted people cannot comprehend was for the entire year Wade was multiple spots above Price who got an invite to every single world series, PL etc, whilst a higher ranked player received not a single invite. Yes Wade was around #8 , for the year but Price was ranked around #13 at the time of the selections for the year. The point remains the same and valid.  Then these people who complain about my blog only serve to highlight their own ignorance and inability to understand basic principles. I did enjoy wade's interviews this week mentioning how if he did reach #4 at the end of the year the selection process for the PL would change, which was one of his many valid complaints.

KNOB OF THE WEEK

As for Knob of the Week it surely has to go to Cross, a former World champ, a PL player who lost 8 of the last 10 legs against a player who was not in the best form, who then lost convincingly to Gilding in the next round. For me the worst showing by any of the elite players.

.

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS

This returns next midweek and already he  players skipping this are Clayton,  Cross,  Heta, Humphries, Littler,  Rock, MvG, Bellyboy and Krusty. It would not surprise me if  Wade or gilding also give it a skip after their runs and accumulation of prize money, on the flip side, players like Smudger, Aspinall for example will see this as an opportunity to make hay when the sun shines and bank a handy 15k for the winner, players like Aspinall need it with their slide down the rankings, as for Krusty Bellyboy, etc, that is nothing short of sheer laziness and its easier to drop out of the top 20 than it is to get back in it.

KNOB OF THE WEEK

In the past Twat Porter, and Barry Hearn tried to pretend to idiotic fans who lapped up their agenda there was no favoritism or clique in the PDC, these days they do not even try to hide it. For example take James Wade, here is the third most successful player in the entire history of the PDC, and normally he does not get a post match interview unlike other players featured more. This year Wade who is the World #5 did not get a single invite the entire year for any event, yet as soon as other players below him in the rankings withdrew from events said players were replaced by more players below Wade. Wade the world #5 was not invited to a single event, yet Price ranked lower than Wade got invited to every single event this year. How is that fair ?

Then this is the same organisation that would not even fucking exist without the sacrifice of those people who not only broke away from the BDO to form the WDC, but invested their own money into the organisation, often waiting up to a year to get their winnings as the WDC/PDC struggled. Yet a lot of those heroes that formed the PDC are not even in the PDC Hall of Fame. Where is the respect and honor for those players ? Barry Hearn had no problem putting himself in the Hall of Fame when he jumped on board the ever growing PDC, but he and his cunt understudy Twat Porter will not honour the others like Jamie Harvey and multiple others.
Jocky Wilson a two time world champion, a guy that stood up to the tyrant Olly Croft, put his career on the line and stood in solidarity with 13 other players, a founder of the PDC is not in the PDC Hall of Fame, but John Gwynne a useless cunt who rabbits on with shit is in the Hall of Fame. Tell me again there is no clique. On what planet is JohnGwynne held in higher esteem than Jocky Wilson ?  Shaky Dave Clarke got parkinsons so was stuck in the Hall of Fame in a gesture to appear woke and sympathetic, but World Champion Bob Anderson is ignored. The Inbred Royal Family of German extraction who sponge and leach of the ordinary British population even acknowledged the efforts of Keith Deller winning a world title, but the PDC wont add him to their Hall of Fame and he to was one of the 14 players, like Bob Anderson that the PDC would not exist without.

Almost every tweet the PDC put out promoting the matchplay does not include former winners like Gando, Cross or Wade, instead showing pictures of Van Veen, Josh Cock and others players that never won a major, hence why any of Cross, Wade or Gando winning would upset the PDC  and find them scampering to find an excuse to not put them in the next Premier League.  With the ranking money now removed and the Matchplay starting tomorrow, Wade as mentioned up to #5. Price has jumped to #7, Cross jumped 3 places to #8.
The ones with the biggest drop include Clayton down 5 spots to #10 and Aspinall down 16 places to #23. Bellyboy's failure to qualify sees him still at #21 however he should be further adrift as those below him now have the chance to close in or overtake him. Imagine my surprise when Wades game was the opening game of the comp, and clique favourite Josh Cock's game was the last one of the round to be played, no doubt just a coincidence.
 

 

I posted this on the blog back on January 6th 2024, and nothing has changed :

Another reason for Twat Porter in winning the KotW is the list of people in the Hall of Fame. I believe the latest induction is Russ Bray, and I certainly do not begrudge him his place, a great servant of the game, but there would be no PDC let alone a PDC Hall of Fame. were it not for those players that broke away from the BDO back in the early 90s.. There was initially 16 players, 2 of which were judas cunts with no backbone, who went scurrying back to rim Olly Croft. The PDC, then the WDC  formed with those 14 players, and 3 managers of Tommy Cox , Dick Allix and John Markovic. Those 17 people  were ostracized  from the game, some threatened legally, financially and even physically. They held firm and even put their own money in to the WDC. Shortly afterwards, 7 American players, Irishman Tom Kirby. and 2 English players Graeme Stoddert & Kevin Burrows also told the BDO/WDF governing body to go fuck themselves and those 24 were the field for the 1994 World championships.
2 of those initial 3 managers are in the Hall of Fame, in Allix and Cox.
Of the 14 players only 5 of them are in the Hall of Fame.
Twat Porter and Barry Hearn basically saying fuck you to those other 9, of Jocky Wilson, Bob Anderson, Alan Warriner, Peter Evison, Jamie Harvey, Richie Gardiner, Kevin Spiolek, Cliff Lazarenko, and Keith Deller, 

To put things in to perspective, the same cunt Barry Hearn who leaves out those players put himself in it, what sort of ego does one have to have to put yourself in before those others ?
The same cunt who once ran a England versus Scotland comp which was supposedly a tribute to Jocky Wilson but will not even put him in the Hall of Fame. Even the attention whore Keith Deller, a former world champion has got recognized by the parasitic royal family and was awarded an MBE but the organisation he and others founded will not put him in their Hall of Fame, which would not exist without these players.
When those 17 people stood firm, and gave everything up to form the WDC, the BDO carried on and in 1994 John Part won at Lakeshite. Even John Part who played for the so called "rivals" is in the Hall of Fame. Let  this sink in, Shaky Dave Clark is in but Jocky Wilson is not. Former world champion Bob Anderson is not in but a useless commentator in John Gwynne is.
Tell me again how their is no favoritism in the PDC.

On a positive note  as mentioned earlier, with the Matchplay commencing tomorrow it finally feels the business end of the year starts truly in earnest, with the majority of non ranking exbos like the Premier League, world Cup and the bulk of the World Series over, we can look forward to the European champs, Players champs final, the Grand Slam, Grand Prix and of course the Worlds. As for the Matchplay, its the most I have looked forward to a week plus of ranking darts since the last World Championships.

KNOB OF THE WEEK

When you think of players with longevity in the game you might automatically think of Phil Taylor, but there are many others like John Lowe winning world titles in 3 different decades, or even James Wade who won his first pro tour in 2006 and won his last one only 3 events go, a gap of 19 years and barring roughly a month he has been in the top 16 for almost 2 decades. MvG won his first PDC title back in 2009, 16 years ago. These types of runs are rare and time at the top is short, Even Barney who won his first PDC event back in 2006 nineteen years ago and won a floor event last year I believe had long spells outside the world top 32.
It comes as no surprise some players burn out, lack the stamina, or just had a brief run, plenty of players come good for a while and drift away like Cullen, Gurney etc,
Then you have Bellyboy Smith. Here is a player that comms hyped for over a fucking decade, a fat cunt so far up his own fat hole he developed an arrogance and sense of entitlement, comes across as petulant, and clearly acts frustrated and sulks when things do not go his way. After a decade of comms hyping him he had a 2 month period where he won the Grand Slam and world title, and has won nothing of note since.
Remember this is a player last year was the #3 seed for the Matchplay, even luckily reached the semi final, and fast forward 12 months and he cannot even qualify for the Matchplay, in fact going into the last 2 players championships a few grand outside the Matchplay spots, where 2 good days in a depleted field that had no Humphries, Littler, MvG etc he earned zero over 2 days, not a penny, losing in the last 128 both days. That was a pitiful attempt. That said I am glad he did not make it, his attitude stinks, and finally comms will stop sucking up to the fat cunt, as they have a new fat cunt in Littler to wank off over.

As for the Matchplay, Wade's game is the first game off the comp, no surprise the PDC hope he goes early, and they certainly wont be seeing Wade in a solitary world series event, despite players ranked below him get multiple invites. I am really looking forward to the Matchplay and knowing one of the 2 miserable vile dutch cunts in MvG and Barney who drew each other going out early is a bonus.

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Event #20 was won by Damon Heta and his lowest average over the 7 games was 96.45, solid stuff. He beat Bunting who averaged well over a ton, and Bunting reached the final after coming from 6-2 against Cross in the semi as Cross's game fell off a cliff. Bunting hit a 9 darter in the semi final, and that day there was 2 other 9 darters with Josh Rock and Leon Weber getting one each in the first round.
Event #21 was won by Bradley Brooks, an incredible run which saw him beat a slew of quality players.He averaged over 108 in each of his first two games  defeating Borland and Dobey, then beat Dolan,in his next game against Wade there was half a dozen ton plus checkouts with brooks winning a last leg decider, he mauled Josh cock 6-1, and got past James hurrell who also had a great run, although Hurrell got lucky in a lot of games and had opponents not playing anywhere near their best. Brooks capped off a fantastic event for himself by beating Price in the final which saw him jump over 20 odd places to world #73.

On the topic of rankings Bellyboy is currently at #21 and his failure to qualify for the Matchplay could see him drop further. I have always maintained how insignificant and meaningless the PL is, just a non ranking exbo for friends of Twat Porter, and Nathan Aspinall in the Matchplay defends 200k and only assured of 10k. A first round exit for him could see him drop out of the world top 25, and all his great darts in the worthless PL this year means fuckall. 

EURO TOUR
This returned Friday, and Fridays session was the usual mixed bag. Bellyboy probably sulking over the Matchplay withdrew along with Wright, MvG, Babs, Joyce, Edhouse, Gilding and Littler. The highest ranked casualty of the day was Joe Cullen losing to Justin Hood, and Barney losing to Andy Batens. Performance of the day went to Fattimena beating Callan Wygz in a great game with both players averaging over a ton. Menzies missed double 12 for a 9 darter and luckly beat some 18 year old German called Yorick Hofkens, alas poor Yorick. Dirk averaged over 105 in dumping out slow Ryan Treacle. Roll on tomorrow.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

  In yet another quiet week due to meaningless non ranking exbo's, darts news or happenings in the game has been minimal. Last week Rob Cross won Knob of the week for losing in the first round, and he was the defending champion in that US Masters. This week in the last invitational exbo the only top player to lose was Clayton, and unlike Cross, Clayton was not a defending champion and lost to a player of higher quality than what Rob Cross lost to but seeing as it was such a quiet week, and Clayton did lose and the only top player to lose he gets Knob of the week, seeing as someone had to get it.

 

Roll on the Players Championships next Tuesday 

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This goes to Rob Cross this week, who as the defending champion of the U.S. Masters, all be it a non ranking exbo, not only lost, but the world #9 lost to a player ranked #86 in the world, and was raped 6 zip to boot. Embarrassing defense of a title by Cross who averaged 89.26. 
Seeing fat Bunting go out was wonderful, sick of people sucking up to that attention whore who recently posed pretending to be asleep in bed with a trophy, what normal man would do that ? Good riddance to him and we wont have to listen to that vile scouse accent that sounds like a spaz gurgling cum whilst chewing his own fucking teeth.

A mention also for the obese waddling cunt ,the kebab guzzling entitled prick Littler who made multiple excuses for the England defeat in the world Cup , from claiming Germany had already played 2 games prior, how he hopes the venue changes due to his dislike of German crowds, which seems like sour grapes and not once mentioned his own poor performance.
He is fast becoming an overbearing prick.

Elsewhere this week the modus match fixing series was an all munter affair so obviously would not watch any of this shit, but was informed thunder thighs Turner who gives her "expertise and experience" on sky sports for the top players was winning games with averages that barely cracked 70. So what in the blue fuck can this jobber munter offer in terms of perspective to players vastly superior ? She is there for no other reason to tick boxes for soyboys, and woke cunts any wonder I and so many others mute her or any munter when they speak on sky or ITV.

A mention for that long string of misery Vincent van der Voort who complained about co Stompe for discussing MvG and his current situation. Speed jobber Vinny is a fucking retard who forgets Co Stompe is there to discuss Dutch players. As for the obese hunchback MvG who said recently the most important thing is his life are his kids. Obviously not the mother of said kids since she kicked his obese arse to the kerb, and rightfully so. I wonder will MvG tell his oldest kid that when their mother was pregnant with them the fat cunt was trying to screw a slapper from Bradford ? My only surprise was she stayed as long as she did, maybe as he made great money she hung around, but now his career is in decline she decides then to dump him,what a coincidence.
I wonder if the rubber lipped mongo does a Barney and tries find some new gold digger, get a hair transplant and job on the tour clinging to the memories of the former golden years.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This week it goes to the fat little waddling entitled cunt Luke Littler and to a lesser extant to the English "team". I do not blame both Lukes for the ridiculous comments from the media how they were "unbeatable", Not their fault the bookies made them unworthy of backing, nor was it the fault of both Luke's you had so many others like Mardle rim the England team only for the Lukes not to perform. Dennis Priestley said in an interview “Luke Littler and Luke Humphries let their country down at the World Cup of Darts, from what we’ve heard they weren’t sitting together or practising together. He also said both Lukes did not deserve their MBE's getting them too soon.

I like Priestley and  agree that the MBE's came very early, especially when you consider how long it took Bristow to get one who was a bigger star than Littler ever was. Bristow was a household name and global star before social media was even a thing. Did both Luke's let their country down ? I think Priestley's word were a little harsh. Price mentioned how the players were not a "team" did not practice together, nor arrive together. There was most definitely an ego issue with both Lukes.

What sealed the kebab guzzling obese lazy prick winning Knob of the Weeks was his response to Priestley. This cunt made a claim that he did more in his first 12 months than Priestley.  This again showed the lack of respect, and complete ignorance by this chav cunt has for people in the game. Firstly Littler did win events in his first year, that did not exist back at the time of Priestley , and others who risked it all.. Its like comparing apples and oranges. Secondly and more importantly, this entitled waddling obese prick lacks the intelligence to comprehend were it not specifically for Priestley, and the other players who risked their careers to break away and form what it now the PDC, Littler would be still living with his mam in a council house getting out of bed at the crack of noon ,  growing fatter each day on junk food., whilst waiting for his dole.

As for Humphries he called Priestley's words "damaging" to him. What a soft beta who has his feelings hurt, go grow a set of testicles you soft pathetic cunt crying because a legend of the game, and one of the people responsible for you to be making the money you do today hurt your feelings.

Could you imagine how unbearable these 2 Luke's would have been had they won the World Cup ?, be thankful they did not.

It was Wade's 24th floor title if you count the old UK open qualifiers and players championships.

RANKINGS & MATCHPLAY
Wades win saw him extend his lead over Cross in the #8 spot and Heta is breathing down Cross's neck ready to overtake. Smudger moved above Wright to #14, The biggest drop was Woodlouse dropping 2 spots to #32. Outside  of the top 32. Whilst Bellyboy did win games, he did not win enough and with Joyce going further in the last event Bellyboy is now 4,250 quid outside a matchplay spot. The 2023 Matchplay was won by Aspinall so he defends 200k and a first round exit could see him drop outside the worlds top 20, Clayton defends 100k. Cullen defends 59k, from a semi and I doubt anyone believes he will go that far again. On the flip side there are a few top players like MvG, Bunting, Wade and Smudger who are only defending a first round loss and will benefit. 

EURO QUALIFIERS
