KNOB OF THE WEEK

This week it goes to Josh Rock, and his failure to qualify for the PC Finals, and before some moron thinks but Littler never made it, Littler at least only decided to possibly attend them all if the clean sweep of Premier Events was a still an option. Aspinall clearly did not give a flying fuck, but Josh Cock did.  Excuses can be made how Josh Cock skipped nearly half the floor events but in almost half the others failed to get past the last 32, even going out in the first round without earning a penny half a dozen times. This is a player some morons have actually publicly called for to be included in the next Twat Porter glorified roadshow for his friends. He is of course of the most recent members of the Twat Porter clique, those players that get preferential treatment, are hyped by comms, called elite without ever actually winning a single thing of note, just like Stephen Cunting and others, whilst proven players with actual ranking tv titles to their name has been deliberately overlooked. 

 

 

The Grand Slam qualifiers saw 8 of the top ten seeds fail to qualify, sadly Stephen Cunting got through and we viewers will now be subjected to that disgusting scouse sack of lying shit with the obese cranium  being on telly at least twice during the slam, I could rant and rave about the quality of the qualifiers, but anyone that has been reading this blog for over a decade and a half  knows that for countless years in the past, Uncle Barry Hearn would get Knob of the Week almost every year when the qualifiers came around, as I could never find the logic one qualifier where 10 players, only need to win 3 games, in an already severely depleted field were deemed good enough for the slam, but actual comp winners in the past who won 7 games in stronger fields would miss out. Thankfully this year every comp winner has got in, but I would still get rid of the qualifiers, would donate those places to actual comp winners, be it challenge tour winners, hell would even give a spot to the Modus Champions week winner, at least they won more than 20 odd games, and the winner ....wait for it, actually won a competition not 3 fucking games in a depleted field and one off event. Those qualifiers have lessened the quality of the slam, not improved it. Fuck Bunting, he had a whole year to win a Players champ, or a Euro Tour, or reach a final of a premier event and failed again and again and again. He is a failure, why reward failure ? The slam should be to reward winners, not fucking losers. I think its clear he should not be in an event clearly created of the principle of all winners of which he is not.

I briefly touched upon how Pinnochio last week winning a solitary leg in some exbo would see some real mutants appear making ludicrous claims and basically showing how thick they are. Step forward this abortion survivor.

People like this cunt on the off chance he eventually gets to fuck a real living woman need to be sterilized without them breeding , let alone voting or driving. Then I saw other people complain the viewership was so small. What were people expecting ?

Darts is a niche game, and I doubt a single darts fan on Earth signed up to Netflix and paid a subscription solely based on watching this. If a darts fan would not do it, why would  a non darts fan sign up to pay for a meaningless exbo. If a darts fan is going to pay extra for a subscription to watch darts, then they would get Sky sports where they can watch proper ranking Majors including the Worlds. One person told me  how the program which I did not watch, nor even view highlights of said it was almost akin to Wrestling, in that it was some entertainment masquerading as a 'Sport' which had predetermined outcomes, and they believed it was all fixed in that the only woman was the one to beat him and in the final match in some dramatic end, in much like choreographed wrestling. I do agree that darts does indeed masquerade as a 'sport', and it was choreographed in the way any non ranking exbo made solely for tv purposes could be formulated, but letting Pinnochio win in order to attract viewers or garner attention does sound too much like conspiracy talk to me. Besides it appears Netflix were not happy with the viewing figures, but what the fuck were Netflix expecting for their overpriced subscription service ? To get back to the wrestling analogy, seems even the wrestling on Netflix has viewing figures lower than what they were hoping for, and for that Netflix must take the blame, no one thinks of darts, wrestling or any other things that use the moniker of 'sports' in the loosest term, are automatically thinking netflix, as people see Netflix and are thinking of movies and tv shows. Personally I hope Netflix are pissed off, lost a fortune, and we won't get anymore stupid, meaningless non ranking bullshit, its bad enough the PDC give us months of a Premier League, World Series and other non ranking exbo shit without Netflix adding to it

 

 
 

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

 What the fuck is wrong with this idiot, here is a short guy well over 50,  with a history of violence against men and women, dole fraud and even spent time in prison deservedly again acting the prick. My biggest surprise is how any tv company would be giving him employment. Only recently he had the audacity to lecture fans on their behavior, this from a guy who is so tough needed 2 friends and a hammer to attack an older man in his own home lecturing others on how to behave,  The cunt has zero self awareness and now he is back on twitter making veiled threats and acting like an all round dickhead with veiled threats. This old short fat ex con well beyond middle age thinks he is a ufc fighter, people like him will never learn. As I said how tv companies tolerate it is mind boggling, poor old Eric Bristow got sacked for saying the word poof in a tweet , yet somehow Mason is immune despite open threats to plenty in recent years including journalists., who you would think could use their position to highlight his behavior. Thing is, I like Mason as a commentator, because so many of the modern commentators are so atrocious Mason seems better in comparison, even agree with a lot of his opinions on the game, but acting like a prick, lecturing others on behavior coming from an ex con who threaten people shows how out of touch with reality this clown is.

 

This week Smudger again won the European Championships, and the last time he won was left out of the Twat Porter exhibition roadshow, and was not the only player to win the European Championships and not be picked for the PL the following year, Rob Cross a former World champion was another, I saw arguments where it was cited because it was an ITV event, Sky valued it less in their dealings with the PDC, regardless, Smudger himself clearly want to be parts of the PL if only to please his sponsors, and of course make plenty coin and believe he should be in, hell my 8 favorite players could all be selected, and would be happy for them all but it would not make a boring repetitive non ranking glorified exbo any more interesting for me, in fact the fewer amount of players I like selected only serves to make the whole fiasco easier to ignore, so I am all for them selecting MvG, Stephen Cunting, Josh Cock, as the event is utterly meaningless to me as a darts fan. As a viewer I want something that has ramifications, or ranking in games, the PDc has too many non ranked shit, but thankfully we are in the business end of the year.

The big race currently is qualification for the Slam and Players championships finals,  and Littler has pulled out of the last two players champs so wont be making the finals, and I am glad to get a comp without the fat fuck, Speaking on short fat fucks almost as wide as they are tall Josh Cock is currently almost 6k outside the spots down at #80, one spot above the sweaty head shaking ex postman.Gary Anderson is less than 2k away,and even Gerwyn Price is only 2k inside the qualify spots.

 

I am the first one to berate Modus for its match fixing, selection of complete shit players, hyping undeserving ones but this week their best of the best for the most parts took part in their champions week and some of it was fantastic, yes there was a nine darter, but fuck them, give me a good game over a great leg any day, regardless of whatever code it is. Archie Self followed up his weekly win to top Group A, Coulson won group B,  and there were a rke of games where both players averaged over a ton, some games where players lost with averages over 105, even 108 and 109. My particular highlight was how Modus rims Neil Duff, every time he gets put in the groups with the most shocking players, in order to hype him, but the reality is he is a jobber, Modus can hype him, give him the easiest route, do whatever they can to get him in to a champions week but he will never win one....unless he does a Spineless the parasite Martin Adams trick and wait till there is no one of note left and mop up under the fodder. Duff was chucked in a group C, the easiest group and managed to finish second last, and watching his amateur dramatics on the oche was priceless, Modus can hype him, push him, give him the easiest groups, but in the end, he simply is and will never be good enough.

 

When I got home last night saw people ranting and raving how Pinnochio Sherrock should be in the Worlds, unsure what caused this sudden interest in her by virgins stuck at home on a Friday night.Only this morning I saw she won a leg in some exbo, like anyone should really give a fuck, had some fucker like Ashley Coleman won a leg, would it have got the same reaction of these sexually frustrated virgins ? I doubt not. To be honest I forgot it was on, and had i remembered I was not going to watch it anyway than spend a Friday night watching meaningless shit. Still I am sure a munter winning a leg will illicit so funny and crazy reactions during the week which will be funny

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK - CAMERON MENZIES

I am awarding it to the ginger jock mentally unstable prick for his performance last week in the Euro tour and his collapse against Stephen Cunting, who might have missed the European champions if the Scottish prick did not fall apart when he missed countless doubles against Cunting for a 2-1 lead and his game was utter dog shit.. Then we had comms like plastic wannabe aussie prick Nicholson and Dawson tell us that while Bunting might miss out on said European championships, he was good enough to win the event outright. Based on fucking what ?

 

I saw a stat on a darts forum that said Corey Cadby player 3 Premier ranking Events in the PDC  and reached the final once, not counting world Series win against a prime Taylor, yet Bunting has played 81...yes eighty one Premier ranking events and not only has never won a ranking major, the fat visually repulsive cunt and proven liar has never even reached a final, and whilst this blog was later due to work commitments, imagine my lack of shock Cunting got raped yet again.

 

Then you had that prick Dawson tell us Nijman the match fixing prick who has never won back to back matches on TV was in a prime spot for the Premier League, on what planet does his failures warrant a Premier League spot, even if it is a non ranking glorified exbo, bad enough you get Aspinall and bunting thrown in undeservedly, whilst more deserving players get left out.. The PDC treats its viewers like they are imbeciles, try to hype a match fixer and a scouse fat cunt  when everyone can clearly see they are not worthy.

 

Luke Humphries withdrew from the European championship with some illness and wonder if its anything to do with his reaction to make up again. Maybe he should take make up advice of another male player in Moby dick Noah van Lueven.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

 

The award goes to the brain dead fans who cried about Mensur Suljovic trying to rile up the crowd  as Smudger was on match darts for the win last weekend. Was it a cunt of a thing to do ?yes, and I like Ross Smith, however as much as it was a petty thing to do, in hindsight I like it. You see the same people crying about Mensur, how he is a cunt, should be banned or fined and all the usual bullshit spewed by woke assholes claiming to be upset, are the very same stupid fans who bemoan the lack of characters in the game.Okay what Mensur did might upset the brainwashed simpletons of today, but I grew up watching Bristow, Jockey, Lazarenko, Bobby George, where their antics were far more crazy, you cannot cry you want more characters, and then hate Mensur , Friday night Dan Dawson was basically delighted the Dutch crowd was involved in the games,actively seeking it but were the crowd putting off the Kebab guzzler or bunting or one of his favorites, he would be the first prick to bemoan the crowd. Make no mistake that visually repulsive ogre that is Stephen Cunting is a favorite of theirs, you could hear the annoyance in his voice when almost all the results Friday went against Cunting. I hope to fuck that bastard and proven liar Bunting loses and fails to qualify.

Then you had that mentally retarded cunt Nicholson tell us if Bunting does manage to qualify, he might win the whole European championships. Based on fucking what ? The fat fuck never won a single ranking TV title in his entire career in the PDC, in fact never even reached the final of a ranking tv major, and this clown Nicholson thinks he can win the event, the fucking moron. 

 

Remember when Price came out in headphones and people complained, the same people bemoaning lack of characters, or pretended to be offended when Wade shouted in Asada face. The game of darts originates in the pub, and believe me, I have seen games that were better than some UFC contests when things got out of hand. The game needs characters, villians etc, and having people clambering to have Mensur fined or suspended sound like pathetic cunts to me.

That said there is things in the game I do not like and its things like Match fixing, and this week that dreary Scottish prick Jim McEwan played some games that looked very suspicious in Modus, a code rampant throughout the years with match fixing, in one game with 2 darts left McEwan needed 94 and went for 19s,, why ? The following day in a rematch with the same opponent he was 5 from 49 on doubles, then when he checked the score finished the match and had 2 ton plus checkouts, like he was hitting a switch at certain times. I am convinced there was certain shit going on, just like that time Spineless the parasite Adams, and Headshaker Barney played suspect, but were never charged, and that is not counting all the others that were caught like Wessel Nijman, Andy Jenkins, Prakash Jiwa, Leighton Bennett, Kyle McKinstry, Gilbery Ulang, Billy Warriner and Jack Main

Lastly, Jonny clayton, here is a dwarf leek waving taffy cunt that whinged about the qualifying criteria for the Grand Slam, despite him always knowing what the criteria was. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and he did not know and he really believes the qualifying criteria needs changing since he was so adamant about it. He wins a Euro tour, now he is in, and he goes silent, what happened to those principles, his opinion how the criteria needed changing....oh wait, he is in now so fuck it, the criteria don't matter now. In fact if the taffy prick was to continue his criticism about the criteria now that he has qualified it might lend credence to his argument, but suddenly forgetting about his qualms makes him look like a prick, who only bitched cos he had not qualified at the time and had an inflated sense of entitlement.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

When you are the current World Champion and you enter the Youth world championships and lose it ultimately has to be seen as a failure. To his credit he entered, even though it was a no win situation as anything other than success would be seen as failure. I have seen people argue as to why he entered, I think he genuinely wanted to add a youth World title, why else would he enter the event.. I have seen idiots claim he entered to lose, which is basically tantamount to call him a match fixer, why would he enter to lose when he did not have to enter.

Same idiot claimed he rocked up for the day for "pocket money", that's right somehow Littler the multi millionaire needed the coin. Regardless of my opinion on him, I firmly believe he wanted to win, would make no sense for him to enter otherwise, if only to pad his record when it comes to titles, maybe he wanted to equal Van Veen and Babs van den Bergh, and have two world youth titles. As for Major titles and world titles, I reckon he will easily eclipse Hunchback MvG who has just 3 titles in 20 years. In the end Littler had to win as mentioned anything else would be a failure. 

 

This week Jonny Clayton was having a whine about the Grand Slam and moaning why the top 16 were not automatically in the Slam, ignoring what the Grand Slam is all about in theory....winners. Unlike the Premier League where only the top 4 automatically qualify, you fate is in your own hands in the Grand Slam. You win a proper event, maybe even a euro tour and you should get in, Jonny did neither, and lets face it Clayton has been a lazy bastard, he has skipped I believe 5 euro tours this year,  and lost in another 5 matches where a win would have got him a spot, semis in the PL,stands out. The PDC have also increased the numbers in the slam so floor champs might get him in, and he still has the qualifiers. The chances were there, still are, and while I admit the Slam would be better with him in it , if he is not there it is his own fault. Jonny needs to shut the fuck up, and win comps or at least reach a final in a premier tv event. If he is too lazy to enter the qualifiers then fuck him.

 

 KNOB OF THE WEEK

PDC Comms are actually worse than ever, Stuart Pyke this week has been unbearable, putting aside his overall ignorance, add in his favoritism and clear bias, it has made commentary abysmal. Studd, is just as annoying, and as for Mardle, the guy is clueless and his self deprecation  act is nauseating. I like Gian Van Veen as a player, but his performance was absolutely dire for a player ranked #2 in the world. I believe he was one leg away from defeat in a best of 5 sets without getting a shot at a double. This is further proof how the  World championships is top heavy with prize money. Then you Mardle spouting nonsense how Gian would outscore Wade, but Wade would probably sneak it on doubles. Shows what Mardle knows, or rather how little he knows.

WORLD GRAND PRIX

The first round of this saw the 3 players I dislike the most in the top ten go out first round in Littler, MvG and Josh Cock, and when the match fixing cunt Nijman and Stephen Cunting went out, it made the  last 4 a superb line up that had 3 of my favorite top ten players left in the last 4. While I am no fan of Stutters Aspinall, the one I want the least to win, I still rather him that any of the five I previously mentioned, who are all out. It's refreshing to look forward to a night of semi final action where all four players seem to have an equal chance, and there is even the possibility of a final  where both players are players left out of this years Premier League.

Its also wonderful to see Cunting drop to world #13, and should Aspinall win his semi, he will send MvG down to world #10, and should he win the event he would go sixth. Wade is up to #5. 

I saw a video this week  with a Chris Mason interview, and I do agree with an awful lot of what he says, but fucking hell listening to Mason complaining on the behavior of fans takes the cake. He is a ex con who along with his "brave friends" beat up an old man, he a guy that has beaten his ex wife, a dole fraudster, with a history of threatening people actually lecturing  people on behavior . The staggering lack of self awareness is something else. The audacity of this fucker. I like his opinions on the game, and he should stick to that, not act like some moral compass.

 

KNOB OF THE WEEK

This weeks award goes to the 2024 Grand Prix winner Mike De Decker, who has not qualified the the Grand Prix where he defends 120k. I said at the time he got on of the most jammiest run evens back then, , where so many players either failed to perform, just had no luck at all ...

 

A mention for Schindler also, The highest ranked player to not qualify for the Grand Prix, as well as Gurney, who now failed to qualify for the Matchplay and Grand Prix already this year 

 

The main news this week was the announcement of the European Open, which is no more than a bargain basement version of the UK Open, that said the 3 day event will give a chance to all tour card holder, secondly its a ranking event and its in the first half on the year, which is badly needed, I would have liked to have seen maybe a month earlier, it at least along with  the Masters add something to the first half of the year that traditionally only held the UK Open and Matchplay. The sad reality is in 2027, there is only one proper length Major in 7 months and that being the Matchplay, the UK Open and new European Open last 3 days each, and the Masters in a joke, and made ranking to give the impression it is a Premier Eventthe first 7 months of 2027 the only
