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.
