KNOB OF THE WEEK

GRAND SLAM OF DARTS
I cannot remember a tv ranking event passing itself of as a Major that had all 4 quarter finals that were boring one sided predictable outcomes dragged out over 2 nights. The semi finals would need to offer something to salvage what has been a pretty dour event. I thought at the time even the European Championships had more drama and entertainment. In the end Littler won it and we got Humphries make a complete twat of himself telling us he is going to win the Worlds. He was fooling no one, I believe he was trying to convince himself and when he fails he will look a right prat.  He then rocks up to the Players champs finals, leads 3-0 and goes out first round, which only makes his wild claim seem even more ridiculous, as he lost to Van Veen on tv yet again. Peter Wright then Friday night claimed he would win the worlds. Seeing as only one person can win it, one of them is going to look stupid if not both. Eric Bristow is the only person I remember saying outright before a comp he will win it and then win it, I know Taylor was confident but I do not recall him ever boldly stating he would win it prior, but cannot be certain on that.


PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS FINALS

When the fixtures were released it again showed how the cunt Porter not only has a clique, but seems to relish shoving the fact in the fans faces. Wade, the only player to beat Humphries and Littler this year on TV in ranking competitions, stuck in the afternoon session, which surprises no one as Wade is not in the Twat Porter clique. Then neither is Rob Cross, the ex world champion who once won a ranking tv title and was left out of the following Premier League, and he too got stuck in the afternoon session. Clayton, the highest ranked Welsh player up to world #5 at the time, not in the clique so he too unsurprisingly gets an afternoon session. Mike De Decker and Ross Smith, 2 more players that won a ranking TV title and were not selected for the next Premier League, both not in the clique, and both assigned to...yep, that's right the afternoon session.

The #2 seed, plus the #3, #5 and #6 seeds for this event all were not selected for the main stage but dumped out on board 2, but somehow the #34 seed Aspinall a player most certainly in the Twat porter clique gets main stage evening priority against Sedlacek. I get it both Luke's will get main stage priority but is Bellyboy, another in the clique against Schindler more worthy than so many of the ones I mentioned who were demoted to lesser sessions ?

The cunt Porter is basically telling people who they despise. If Wade or Clayton overtook Bunting or MvG and get automatic PL spots watch the prick Porter change the qualifying criteria to get his undeserving favorites in. Thank fuck the Premier League is a meaningless, non ranking invitation exbo that is not worth a fuck to me, but I am sure it certainly matters to the players outside of the clique who are more deserving than the undeserving ones selected. You can argue that Clayton lost, as did the #2 seed Nijman but the PDC did not know that when they arranged the line up. Take Krusty, one of the last to play on Friday night, and one of the first to play on Saturday, you think his game would be later in the afternoon session. As for the fat obese waddling kebab guzzling cunt and walking heart attack Littler who self admittedly does not get up til the crack of noon, to sit on his ever increasing fat hole, he will have to go from the cot to the stage for the afternoon session like everyone else left. Ando, Dobey, Searle, Wattimena were all yet again dumped on board 2 for the second time as the clique favourites of Stutters, Bunting, Josh Cock and Price get the usual preferential treatment. 

Just wait until he Worlds and you will see the same shit, and when the worlds is over the favorites being selected for the PL. The comms are fucking appalling, Stuart Pike is so far up the fat hole of Littler he can see the back of Littlers yellow teeth. Thankfully with ITV, Warriner and Mason sound almost fantastic in comparison to the usual Sky cunts.

 

Lets finish on some positive notes. 

The Match fixing cunt went out first round,, good riddance to the cunt. 

The Aussie cabbage Heta went out early so we are spared any future retarded walk on.

We had ITV commentary

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

It was initially a toss up between Wade and Bunting who both were defending a semi final spot and 50k and both went out first round. Wade completely blew it again Belmont just like Bunting did against Toylo, but in the end what swung it was Bunting lost all 3 of his games and was the higher ranked player.The only thing in his favor was those chasing him for the automatic PL spot was Wade and Clayton being equally as shit. Van Veen could have made a lot of ground but he too failed to get out of the group.
GRAND SLAM
SATURDAY
Bunting blew it against Toylo, Wade blew it against Belmont, Clayton got walloped by Camtree who looks like a homosexual from the 1920s with that tache, Price lost to Evans, Rock lost to the match fixer and Ando lost to Springer, plenty of upsets. I don't like Bellyboy but glad he won as comms rimming Aspinall is unbearable, I don't like MvG and I don't have a problem with Greaves but had she won, again comms would have been unbearable.
SUNDAY
When Bunting, Clayton and Wade lost their second game it meant the then world number 4,5 & 6 were out. Humphries made the headlines hitting a 9 darter to win against bellyboy.
MONDAY
Between dead rubbers and players out regardless there was less worthy matches, but it did see cabbage Heta get sent packing. Humphries needing just a leg to qualify started with a 10 darter against Asp who was fucked and out he went.
TUESDAY
Odd isn't when a German crowd boos a fat Brit like Littler comms do not like it, when a Brit crowd boos a German playing a fat Brit suddenly its comical. Imagine that, weird how that works. But comms rimming Greaves, crowds booing her opponents etc will only get her so far before the reality and fact kicks in that she is not elite. She is a very good player, possibly the best female player ever, but not elite level enough to compete at the very top and there is no shame in that.
WEDNESDAY
Evans and Woodlouse had a decent ending, and outside a comedic and appalling last leg between Bellyboy and Dobey it was a boring night of darts, so bad I turned off the audio and listened to some podcasts in the background. 
THURSDAY
I enjoyed the all German clash even if it was standard fare. and it might save Wenig's tourcard. Josh Cock bores me. and when Littler went 5-0 up on the match fixing cunt I was hoping for a 10-0. It was not to be but at least the cheat was gone. Comms tried hype Huchback the rubber lipped mongo and to be fair he got further than I expected before Noppert sent him out. More on that in a bit.
FRIDAY
As Friday night sessions for a tv event, this was abysmal. 2 matches which were not only highly predictable but repeat of matches we already saw in this competition earlier in the week due to the retarded way of the top 2 in a group being able to meet again if they both win a last 16 match. Mardle and company tried to big up the 9 dart attempt and I am sick of these cunts hyping a 9 darter or attempt at one. I rather have a decent game than a great leg.

OVERVIEW
Every year its the same argument, the stupid draw, every year in the slam its the same stupid qualifier, every year its the same stupid selection process, where winners of floor comps in fields of 128 can miss the Slam, and players winning jut 3 games in a depleted qualifier can get in the slam and then wonder why I and so many other fail to see this tv event as a Major. It was never one of the 4 big proper and established majors, and simply making it ranking event wont alter that. The qualifying criteria alone, the stupid draw placement etc all contribute to this.

MVG
Remember when MvG won the non ranking, invitational glorified exbo event that is the World Series back in September and comms told us MvG is back ? I told ye before then, and told ye then when it comes to a ranking event on TV he will bomb, and I was right yet again. So much so I even screencapped this tweet, one of many tweets by people rimming the fat cunt who bought the bullshit comms spewed them.

Since MvG won that non ranking, invitational, glorified exbo event in September and comms declared he was back, MvG has
played in the following,
ET#12 Hungarian Darts Trophy- lost 3rd round to Noppert.
ET#13 Swiss Darts Trophy - Withdrew
Players Champs #28 - Lost in the last 32 to Smudger
Players Champs #29 - Raped 6-0 in the last 16 by Smudger
Players Champs #30 - Upset by the raping the previous day he sulked more and withdrew
World Grand Prix - Lost 2-0 in sets in the opening round to dirk averaging in the 80s
Players Champs #31 - Lost in the last 128 to Dom Taylor
Players Champs #32 - Withdrew, went home in a sulk
ET#14 German Darts Championship - Withdrew ...still sulking
European championships - Lost in the semi final to Van Veen averaging 93
Players Champs #33 - Withdrew since he could not now make the finals
Players Champs #34 - "see above"
Grand Slam of Darts - Lost 2nd round to any Noppert
Players Championships Finals - Has not qualified.

Are those the results of a player who is back? Comms told simpletons he was back and fools actually drank the PDC kool-aid. To think, there are morons out there who have publicly declared that MvG was better than Taylor. Let that resonate for a moment, these people are allowed vote, and drive on the road, and even more frightening is they are allowed breed and spawn the next generation of imbeciles. The same type of abortion survivors with flashbacks of coat hangers who probably believe Headshaker won 5 world titles, or a giggling bearded parasite howling like a dementia ridden fossil won 3. Some people will believe anything. Remember all the defective bdo mushrooms from years ago ? They are now among the PDC fans.

HUMPHRIES
He announced tonight seemingly that he might skip all next years players champs, take the 34 days off, along with the weekend of the PC finals. I can fully understand this, he expects to loses his #1 spot so will concentrate on the tv events to reclaim said spot. In fact i can see Littler doing similar, MvG not so much if he wants to get back anywhere to where he was, but it looks those days at the top are long gone for him.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

2 years ago Rob Cross reached the final of the Slam, and earned 70k, and this week he does not get a dart to defend a penny of it due to his failure to qualify, which now sees him drop 7 places to world #16 and certain results could see him drop further. This also has the knock on effect in the qualifiers for next years euro tours, where for the standard top 16 player who get automatic entry to the euro tours they roughly need only just 6 wins in total to make the European Championships, Cross only just got the 6 despite playing all the euro tours, if he is not a seed next year he will have to win at least twice as many games to qualify..

Humphries defends 150k and one has to think anything less than winning the title sees him lose the world #1 spot. In fact Humphries could win the final against Littler, and Littler could still overtake him if Littler picked up any group winners bonus.
As for Wade, he drops to 6th as he had 53k coming off his ranking for a semi final and group winners bonus, but unlike Cross, he gets to compete. Bunting remains in 4th even though he to defends 50k, with Clayton up to 5th hot on his tail for the #4 spot.The weirdest anomaly is Smudger moving up 4 places despite not qualifying, however that wont factor in too long as I expect at least 2 players to overtake him. Aspinall may be down a #21 but with the 5 players above him all failing to qualify, expect moves from him. Krusty at 29th is fucked, and Bellyboy at #30 at least did qualify but do not expect much from him.

I am no fan of MvG and a lot of his comments over the years, however back in 2017 he was asked if he thought a woman could ever compete with the men at the top. He replied No. There are brainwashed simps, who think Beau Greaves, fresh from battering other females and trannies in the munter series is an elite player. From a performance level in terms of standard, averages etc, Beau Greaves is not just the best female player, she is the best female player ever by a country mile, she is not typical of any other female player. MvG was 100% right women will never compete with Men at the very elite, and Greaves as the sole woman on the planet who might take a few scalps here and there will not alter that. You have people claiming she should be in the Premier League, why ?Because she is a woman ? Surely the whole point of feminism, Women's right etc was so people are treated with equality and not judged on their gender, so putting Greaves in just because she is a Woman is the very epitome of sexism. or is this lost on people ? I have read how she won 80 odd matches against other female jobbers, and whilst impressive, how does that qualify her for the Premier League ? If a man won 100 matches in a row against men and women in Modus for example would he too be worthy of a call up to the Premier League? Of course not. Personally I could not give a fuck if she was ever selected as the Premier League is meaningless to me, its great money to the players involved, but as a non ranking invitational exbo it means fuckall. In fact were Greaves to be selected it would only reiterate my point even more, how its not about ability, or those that deserve it, as I have always claimed but about whatever Twat Porter could do to compensate his favourites, grab attention and play the sexism card how the PDC is not sexist, by doing the very thing that would make them sexist in awarding spots to individuals based on gender.

I do wonder if Wade makes it to World #4 will the PL rules change again ? What if boring Clayton disposes fat obese Bunting for the #4 spot and PL spot, will the rules change, or will they change regardless as we know Twat Porter will want Price, Stutters and his usual favorites involved.

Another argument I saw this week on social media was about the ADC and the WDF, who if I got it correct both have their annual clusterfuck competitions happening the same week, with Jeff Smith turning down the WDF to play the ADC, and 3 other players turning down the ADC to play WDF. I saw some people arguing which was the more valid World championships.
The answer is very simple, neither of them are a world championships, there is only one World championships and that is the PDC world championships, The ADC event they call a global world champs, and the WDF clusterfuck which they hilariously call a world champs are just these codes biggest events of the year. If my local calls its xmas event a world champs it does not make it true Good luck to the ADC and WDF, but change the name, no one believes the jobber that wins these events are a World Champion. Shane McGuirk the WDF winner has jobbed on the PDC Challenge Tour, Devon Peterson who won the ADC event can barely win a game in Modus.

As for the Slam and the groups we were always going to get some groups far more alluring than others however groups A-E  and group H look fairly predictable for the most part, or at least on paper. Hopefully Gian van Veen gets through group F as that will mean one of Josh Cock and the match fixing cunt Nijman goes out. This might be the first year ever I am predicting a top seed to not make it out of a group. I think MvG might struggle against Ando, Springer and Greaves, would be priceless if the fat rubber lipped mongo hunchback bombed.
All this kicks off at 1pm Saturday although the first 3 matches of the session do not appeal to me.

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This week every year is like deja-vu, I criticize the idiotic qualifying criteria for the Grand Slam, as do so many others on social media. Every year it is the same argument, you have players who won just 3 games in a one off competition that is already a decimated and depleted field, and for just 3 wins you get to play in the Grand Slam.

Yet this year, there are TEN players who won proper ranking Player Championships, where they competed in full fields of 128, and had  to win 7 matches to win an actual title, and those ten players do not get a spot in the Grand slam for those achievements. Yes you can argue they were in the lottery that is a qualifier, but the point is winning full ranking competitions should carry more weight than some depleted one off clusterfuck of a qualifier. When Cross, Chizzy, Smudger, Wright, Babs, Joyce, Dirk, Cullen, Menzies and Barney went  out early in the qualifier you knew it was jobber jamboree time.

Bellyboy made it through which was sickening enough although I do not mind Noppert, Rapid Ricky,Evil Charlie and Connor Scutt, but Luke Woodlouse, dear fucking Christ. Wenig is only there to finish bottom of a group, and the vile match fixing cunt made it through. I despise that cunt more than anyone in the PDC.

Does anyone truly believe Wenig, Woodhouse, Scutt etc are more deserving than players that won titles this year like Cross, Smudger, Menzies, Searle Cullen etc. The system is flawed, and when you consider the success of Littler and Humphries who reach so many finals it lowers the number of available spaces on offer via the finals route. I think every single player who wins a trophy be it Euro tours or floor titles should be automatically in even if it means no floor qualifier.  How often have we heard that twat Porter tell us players will be rewarded for their success, except when it comes to the Grand Slam, and the Premier League, and the World Series.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

I missed the semis and final of the European Championships and only found out the result via the pdc highlights on youtube on Monday. Happy for Van Veen, a player I like, as for Humphries who earned more than Littler to maintain the #1 spot, it gives comms something to drag up again for the next tv event. What did piss me off was the media, comms etc after Wade deservedly beat Littler, instead of praising Wade it was excuse after excuse for Littler and how he did not play well, when in reality Wade could have won by more, but then it was the same when prime Taylor or MvG lost always claim their favourite did not play well instead of crediting the player that beat them. As for Gian, he broke in to the top 10. Well happy for the lad.

As I said last week, over 2 years ago the top 2 players in the world rankings were Bellyboy and Wright, they now are #29 & #30 with Cullen at #31.

PREMIER LEAGUE DISCUSSION

Right away Gian was being predicted to be in the next PL, and whilst I would like that, remember multiple players have won tv events and not been selected, ask Smudger, Cross, De Decker, and Nicholson. As it stands if the format remains the same it would be the Lukes, Bunting and MvG as the top 4, stick in Van Veen and Wade who had 2 Major finals this year, beat Littler last week, and has climbed the rankings to world #5 and among the top earners of 2025.
As for the 2 remaining places, I have no doubt Twat Porter would want Aspinall and Price, but Price is not even the best Welsh player currently and clayton is in better form even if he is dull. Rock is solid but has done fuckall in Majors, and no one really gives a fuck about his non ranking world Cup win, forget Bellyboy, Wright, Cullen, Heta Smudger etc. That only leaves Dobey who has less personality and charisma as Wez Newton, and Noppert who to his credit is playing well. Cross is not worthy and was never a Twat Porter favourite, Ando is not worthy, and probably will claim he does not want it. Asp is in form but to include him would be criminal.

However with the Slam, PDC and Worlds to come, everything will change, MvG cannot defend his 60k at the PDC players finals and could be out of the top 4 by then, Wade could be in the top 4 and the PDC might suddenly change the rules, a dark hose could do what Van Veen did and win an event and it all changes again, so until the last 8 of the worlds it will be wide open and any more discussion until then is just pointless, no point criticizing what they might do.

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS
EVENT #33
There was no Littler, MvG, Wade, Van Veen, Clayton, Rock, or Ando, and when Humphries Cross and Bunting were gone before the last 64, there was not a top 10 player left. By the time it ended Dobey was however back in the top 10 with his win against Magpie. At 6-6 Willie went 12 darts without a treble and it cost him the match he should have won.Dobeys win also assured him of a Grand slam spot. Elsewhere Aspinall and Heta both it 9 darters
EVENT #34.
Littler was back, and again Humphries Cross and Bunting were gone before the last 64, as were Smudger, Asp, Heta, Wright, Joyce , Dirk and De Decker, and with no Price, Wade, Van Veen etc involved I lost interest but Campbell dumping out Littler perked my interest again as Cullen, Chizzy, Schindler and Gilding all exited. Babs had to win the event to make the PCF or else the field was set and went out to Dobey. Magpie and Dobey made the semis again.When the match fixing cunt reached the final to playing the boring cunt woodlouse I was done.

The big winners this week were Van Veen getting in the top 10 and up to #7. Dobey who moved back in to the top 10 with his win and semi final and moved 3 spots to #8. Magpie jumped 4 places to #41. Woodlouse jumped 3 spots to #25, what a grim reality.Price dropped yet another spot to #14.

Twat Porter will be giving himself an aneurysm trying to work out what believable, let alone viable or plausible excuse will be needed to stick him and stutters in the PL. No player going down the rankings should be considered for the PL in a fair and balanced system, however this is the PDC when rankings, form, titles etc can be totally disregarded in favor of picking the players in his own clique.

I saw this week speed jobber Vinny was criticizing Gerwyn Price, not for political choices, not for any incident, not for any comments he made, but ...wait for it...losing weight.  Here is a game where over 50% of the players have bigger bellies than  the patients in a fucking maternity ward, where obese cunts like Littler and MvG waddle instead of walking, players that have more chins than a Chinese phone book, players out of breath on TV after a walk on of 20 yards and then climbing 6 steps.  Yet Vincent van der Voort thinks Price needs to be fatter. What normal rational sane person would take medical advice of speed jobber Vinny? He is like the Dutch version of Mervyn King, who has had every ailment under the sun except ovarian cancer and Dutch elms disease. How dare Price lose weight, get healthy, add years to his life, be fitter and more active, Speed jobber Vinny probably saw that fat dead cunt Fordham as an athlete.  This is a game where multiple players have drank themselves to an early death. I do wonder though, had vinny spoke out and took the opposite view on weight and said that the chav keab guzzling Littler was obese and should lose weight, how many soyboy beta cucks and closet homosexuals would be out in force crying about body shaming ? We are at the point when visually repugnant obese beached whales cannot be told they are fat, I saw one article recently calling a fat cunt, a "high calorie person" you could not make this shit up.

I appreciate Vinny speaks his mind but the clownshoe made a right ejit of himself this time.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This week I am going to concentrate not so much on the players, comms pdc officials etc but on the opinions on those who fans who seem to be the most opinionated on social media, so lets start with abortion surviving inbred fuckwit.

This cunt replying to himself thinks the well being of a man robbing money from the Women is more important than the well being of all the real biological Women combined, in the actual Women's game. You could not make this shit up. When I mentioned it, the alcoholic prick who cries about his own well being blocked me. 

 Then you have that tubby lard arse kebab guzzling Littler who every week shows what a classless chav he is. Some lad was referring to the arrogance of Littler and his comments to Schindler, which upset people and I also replied

I am old, and a mick, a total cunt, and maybe even bitter about certain things but they were all deflections because my reply was valid. Remember Littler was part of the England team the bookies called unbeatable, and they lost to Germany which included Schindler who Littler now disrespects. The same Littler who hates going to Germany because the German crowds hurt his delicate little feelings. If Littler continues to haul his overgrown carcass out of the wanking pit at the crack of noon  only to sit on his fat hole and grow fatter whilst playing video games and vape whilst stuffing junk food down his gullet, he won't have a long life. To be in that physical state at 18 is a form of self abuse or mental illness.

Why is it the fatter a bloke is, the uglier they are or the more sexually frustrated they are they defend Noah Man Leuven ? Is it because real women would not fuck them even at gunpoint, so they suck up to these mentally defective he-she thieves instead ? Always remember only the weakest of Men compete against Women, and only the weakest of people support it. No one hates real women more than mentally ill men who crave to be women , the same group they disrespect.

Then there are the countless faggots, butt hurt gimps and other mentally deficient freaks of nature shouting out to anyone that listens how they do not like Gerwyn Price anymore because of his promotion of some political party, the same people who moan about me complaining about players when I call some fat fucker an obese cunt. These people have zero self awareness. I accept I am a cunt, I wear it like a badge of honour but these vomit inducing sacks of shit then try take the moral high ground as if they are superior whilst they complain about others who they do not like. Players can vote for whatever political party they choose to, its their goddamn right to do so. Another defect on twitter stated he hoped Littler would not win the European Champs as he wanted the #1 spot on the line for Ally Pally, he was too dense to realize the Grand slam and Players champs finals were still to come. A simple browse on twitter at some replies by darts fans makes you realize common sense is not common.

On a darts forum I used to post on I saw some recent polls asking about players, asking it they liked, disliked or were ambivalent towards certain players. Comms recently told us Bunting was "the peoples champion" and spouted this horseshit like it was some unquestionable fact. In the poll on said forum 42% disliked Bunting with only 27% liking the fat scouser. Of the other players mentioned in polls only Barney was more disliked with 47%. Even Wade, Stutters, Hunchback and Price who upset people this week were more liked than Bunting. Ok it was a small sized sample but does sort of indicate Bunting is not as popular as the comms would have you believe.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

I watched the Thursday night session on a German stream and MvG said post match in a backstage interview that the match fixing cunt choked, and I agree, and was delighted he did, however MvG then proceeded to act like he should have won and simply ignored the fact had the match fixing cunt not choked, the rubber lipped hunchback would have lost. I guess. MvG forgot to mention that, go figure.
Anyone notice which players got the post match interview and which winners did not ? PDC favortism in full flow as usual. In the last 32 there were numerous cases of the higher seed in this comp being the lower ranked player, and in the last 32, 8 lower seeds won against higher seeds, and 4 of them were not only lower seeds but lower ranked in the main OoM, and they were Gurney, Pikachu, Searle and Menzies, and half of the top ten are gone. Littler and Humphries both look set to meet in the quarter finals and a Littler win puts him 2 more wins away from being the world #1.
Rankings wise due to former winnings being removed Rock moved above Dobey but that maybe only temporary, Heta moved up 2 spots despite his defeat, Wade moved back above Clayton, Menzies has jumped 5 spots, on the flip side Krusty Wright is now down to #30 a drop of 12 places, Bellyboy is #29. 2 years ago Bellyboy and Wright were the world #1 and #2, that is some slide in just 2 years, shows how tough it is to remain in the elite, this is why you have to respect players like Wade for staying in the elite for 2 decades. 

I probably will miss a couple of game in the afternoon session, but looking forward to both sessions on Saturday and Sunday. I expect Littler to win it , who he beats in the final is wide open. The top half of the draw was savage for Wade, were he to somehow beat Littler, he would then get Humphries.. The bottom half is a complete lottery. That said I like that we can get the top 2 in the world meeting in the last 8, based on euro seeding as opposed to the two of them in opposite halves going through the field for the predictable final.


MODUS MATCH FIXING SERIES
No surprise this organisation that has seen multiple of fixes on the oche fixed it so that Fallon Sherrock would enter this week in group B, where 3 out of the 5 players would qualify, so Modus could hype her for Saturday on their finals night, except Sherrock lost every single game tonight. You could hear the disappointment in the voices of Joey Deacon and Thunder thighs. For those not intellectually bright enough to understand, I am laughing at Modus and their attempts to shoehorn her in, as opposed to the dismal showing of Sherrock. These Modus morons still hype a video of Littler winning Modus, have it top of their youtube page as if somehow this was part of the reason littler had success.

Its like the old BDO mentality, if a player did well, they would take all the credit, if a player went to shit,they would accept no blame, If a player went on to success in the PDC like Barney it was because of the BDO, if they completely bombed, the BDO mushrooms would simply make excuses and blame the player.

I get it, Modus is trying to use the popularity of Littler and the mainstream attention he is getting, but does any casual fan know of Modus, let alone think of Modus when thinking about Littler.

Modus can be a decent watch on a boring weeknight, providing on the players involved, and if you can ignore some blatant favoritism, hyperbole, and over reaction and of course the multiple match fixing incidents its for the most part run well.

 

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK


I saw arguments online about the likes of Littler who won the Worlds, UK Open, Matchplay and Grand Prix and questioning  should he be allowed in the youth world champs. 
I am conflicted either way, one one hand you have Littler the best player in the World currently, along with other tour card holders like Van Veen battering non tour card holders. Surely this cannot be a benefit for the non tour card holders, if anything it might discourage them getting walloped by more experienced players from the senior tour. The point being those tour card holders have their own tour, fuck off and let the kids have their event in peace.

The counter argument is how can you have a competition called the World Youth Championships and not allow Littler in. If Littler was forbidden entry then it would make the youth title meaningless, when whoever wins it will always have that stigma on them how the real best players were not allowed enter. It will be like the old days of the BDO, where county players and piss head jobbers would rock up to Bob Potters run down hotel every year and brain wash the handful of fans and themselves they were playing in a World Championship where the winner was a world champion when the best players in the World were in the PDC.

As it transpired Beau Greaves beat Littler in the semi final in a quality affair which was funny because the greatest player on Earth at the moment, ends up losing to a girl without a tour card, and she played brilliantly, in fact both did. Littler survived match darts in his game against Manby in the last 16. The final between Greaves and Van Veen takes place on November 23rd at the Players champs finals.

I think the PDC are fucking things up by making the Youth championship open to 23 year olds. If you are 23 you are not youth, even if your are considered young by old cunts like me, but at 18, never mind 23 you are old enough to drink, drive vote,etc. How many of these 23 year old kids have their own fucking kids ? At 23 my father was 7 years in the military, including spells abroad, my mum was already married with kids at 23. At 18 you are legally an adult, and that should be the cut off point for the World Youth  Championships, then Twat Porter is a fucking moron. 
Here is a guy who thinks 23 years are youths, if he really believes they are kids, then why does he use every opportunity to have an even younger player in Littler be his show pony as he whores him out for publicity. Contradictions are lost on Twat Porter, remember this is a guy who claims the PDC is Unisex, so why did he invent a Women's series  and give preferential treatment to one gender in a unisex code....then allow only one man to play in a Women's event.
If Noah Man Lueven can rock up and pretend he is a woman without ever doing a medical which he would fail, as we have a thing called biology what is stopping any man from identifying as a women on the day of the women's comp ?. Surely if Twat Porter believes a man can change in to a woman by simply putting on lipstick and saying they are a woman through this "self identifying" bullshit, and gets to play without question then any man can do it right if they were prove a point, or needed the money or were just mentally ill people who think biology does not matter.
Then when the comp is over you can simply identify as a man again, since it seems just claiming to be something you are not is allowed and seemingly there is no time frame on this whole nonsense.

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPS #31
Price Noppert, Ando and DeDecker gave it a skip
LAST 128: Out first round went Littler, MvG, Smudger, Cullen, Krusty, Van Veen, Chizzy, Gurney and Woodlouse, but a huge defeat for MvG in his bid for the Players champs finals. Littler was 2.5k outside the qualifiers.
LAST 64: Out went Humphries, Cross, Rock, Dobey, Clayton, Dirk, and Menzies  and by the time the round was over only 4 of the top 20 players in the world were left.
LAST 32: The seeds of Joyce, Magpie, Nellyboy, Springer went out, and Babs van den Bergh was having good run for a change.
LAST 16: When Heta and Schindler went out there was only 2 players in the top 20 left in Wade and Bunting.
LAST 8: Thankfully Bunting beat the match fixing cunt, Wade went out to Aspinall despite being 5-4 and throwing for the win, Wattimena beat Landman and Zonneveld beat Hunt, and looked like Bunting's title to lose. Aspinall put himself well within the qualifiers for the PC Finals.
SEMIS : Zonneveld threw absolute slop and got raped by Fattimena in the last leg he hit scores of 12, 42 and 65.Bunting scored better and averaged higher than Stutters Aspinall, but "the fighter" Asp did the right things when needed and won 7-3.
FINAL : The final was between the World #22, and world #23, and despite Asp going 2-0 up, Fattimena won 8 on the trot and a 101 average. A good day for Asp reaching a final and hitting two 9 darters

PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP #32
MvG had another sulk and pulled out, also missing were Van Veen, Price, noppert and Ando. 
LAST 128: Wade missed darts for 5-1 and went out. Rock and Schindler both went out after leading 5-4.
LAST 64: This saw the exit of Humphries,Clayton, Smudger, Joyce, Cullen, Krusty, Zonneveld and Woodlouse.
LAST 32: It was goodbye to Dirk, Chizzy, gurney and Ratajski.
Last 16: This saw wins for Littler who was inside the qualification spots, Asp continued his great recent run, but out went Heta, Cross and springer.
LAST 8: Out went the match fixing cunt, along with Asp and Dobey.
SEMIS : Littler sent his equally fat oppenent Bunting out and Fattimena went out to Dennie Olde Kalter.
FINAL : Littler and his 110 average was too much for Kalter.
Andreas Harryson hit a 9 darter in the first round.

EURO TOUR.
With this being the final euro tour and 24 of the 32 places in the European championships confirmed the main emphasis for the lower ranked players who qualified is to either secure their spot or those outside to make a final surge. The hopes will be aided in the fact Littler, Humphries, Hunchback, and Ando were not going to be involved.
I only saw the highlights of both sessions on Friday and it was now 25 places secure. For those outside the spots still left hoping to scrape in only Chizzy seems likely, as one win might be enough on count back, 2 wins sees him in. Magpie needs a semi final spot to take the last place of Gilding, who Willie beat on Friday. As for the others Zonneveld and Rapid Ricky would need to win the event..

I wont miss Cullen at the European Championships.

A special mention for Hunchback MvG, who failed to qualify for the Players Championships finals, through shit performances, missed events due to hissyfits, and  will see 60k come off his ranking, yet when he won a mickey mouse world series event, a non ranking event comms told us MvG was back. Who could have imagined comms would lie to the viewers and try bullshit them.

Nobody likes the drop in temperatures, the oncoming of winter with its wind and rain, dark mornings, fields like bogs whilst walking the dogs but I always equate it to Darts season. Sadly in the spring and Summer all we get is the UK Open and Matchplay and the majority of rest just filler shit like non ranking exbos. Darts season has truly begun and the European championships is perfect for next weekend as it gives me plenty to watch as I have zero intention of going for a pint next weekend during what will be the biggest festival of the year here in Cork, where every pub will be packed tighter than a dinghy full of illegal immigrants. Always the same type of assholes that never drink all year then go out for the festival and Xmas. Cunts who cannot handle their drink, they fall in to 3 groups, those who think they are comedians, those who think they are gods gift to women's, and lastly the ones that think they are tough. All 3 are assholes who are unbearable, hence me staying home. As for Xmas, it will be ourselves sipping drinks in front of the open fire watching darts. The events come thick and fast now, and whilst I an thankful it serves to highlight how imbalanced the calendar is.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This goes to the comms this week for the nonsense they spouted for the 5 days so far. Comms constantly stating a perfect 9 darter can only be got by starting on tops, which is a blatant lie as you could start on double 17, followed by 5 treble 20's to leave 167.Then the bullshit from comms never stopped, these are the same cunts that told us MvG was back, and how the fat scouse cunt Bunting was the peoples champion, Why ? I and many other people do not like the prick, comms just making retarded blanket statements does not make it true. I was glad to see the back of Bunting, as well as MvG proving yet again the stupidity of comms forcing the idiotic notion that MvG was back.

Whilst we all know the results I would like to point out how the match fixing cunt going out will always be a welcome result for me, but him being the first player to go out was even more wonderful and the perfect start to the competition. 7 of the 16 seeds went out first round, and so much for the morons who claimed MvG was back cos he won a utterly meaningless non ranking invitational world series piece of shit. Felt sorry for Gian van Veen hitting the highest average and going out to the fat short kebab guzzler, although the obese squat fucker played brilliantly himself.
Outside of the Price Littler quarter final, I found the 3 other quarter finals to be pretty boring and one sided.
My biggest complaint was the format of the opening round being only the first to 2 sets. Yes it meant the possibility of more upsets which we got, and I understand the time constraints, but seriously who would not have liked to see another set of Littler and Van Veen ? Heta and Wade who both lost might have had different outcomes with a best of 5 but regardless of results, the first to 2 sets seemed a little too short.
As Grand Prix's goes this overall has been a poor Grand Prix, far too many one sided games and whilst I think the semis will be closer, I do not expect anything other than a final with the 2 Lukes. This Grand Prix needs 2 great semi finals and a quality final to make up for a lackluster event so far.

RANKINGS
A Littler victory will not get him the #1 spot in the rankings, even if Humphries lost in the semis, but its only a matter of time before he claims the top spot as I cannot see Humphries winning the Worlds and multiple other events. Noppert is up to world #10 a jump of 4 places, a semi win jumps him another 2 spots. Price despite a decent enough run drops 4 places to #11. Oddly Chizzy who did not play moved up a spot to # 178 as those around him defend more. The biggest losers were Bellyboy dropping 6 spots to #27 and Joe Cullen dropping 5 places to #32. Cullens performance against Ando after his win over Wade was typical Cullen, one jammy good performance and followed up with absolute dogshit The only other player to move up 4 places outside Noppert was Menzies moving up to world #29.

With the Eeuropean Championships in less than 2 weeks, it going to be bleak news for Wright fans as Krusty already down to world # 18 is defending 120k and an early exit could see drop to around #30. Not good news for Wade either defending 60k but will remain in the top 10 regardless. Noppert and Van Veen defend 40k each, so Noppert's good run in the GP will aid his recent upturn.

With Players champs during the week, and a euro tour at the weekend, the darts season finally goes into overdrive.

As for the Modus Match fixing Series, and the other WDF rubbish, why would I give a flying fuck when there is so much DC darts to keep up with.

 

I also read a stroy about Clayton complaining that next year there will be 15 pro tours in Germany which he believes is too many as there is also the European tours and all the traveling involved.  I get it British players do not like how the game is getting more global, but see it from the point of the many non British who have to constantly travel to the UK for pro tours and a lot of the Majors including the Worlds, Matchplay, Grand Prix, UK Open etc..

During the 2nd set of the Bunting and Noppert game Sky had to block out the crowd singing Keir Starmer is a wanker, whilst it appears it was not clear to viewers due to Sky editing audio, the story made a lot of news on social media.
