I am not going to knock MvG's career record, after Taylor the most successful player in the history of the PDC, and if he never won another major ranking title will go down as one of the greats. There is the problem, I and so many others who have watched this game for a long time see him as one of the greats, but sadly a lot of new fans of the game, younger kids etc suffer from recency bias, thinking everything new or recent is the best ever. I can almost forgive younger kids because they have been brainwashed for years by PDC comms to believe nonsense. For example last weeks winner of Knob of the Week Wayne Mardle said Littler was as good as MvG, but the same Mardle said a few years ago that MvG was better than Taylor.
Let that sink in for a moment , there was countless people back in 2021 and 2022 claiming MvG was better than Taylor because MvG had a short successful period, and now Littler is better than MvG. What Littler has done is incredible, there is no denying that, but the obsession about averages is so mental it is like people just look at that only. Take this buffoon for example
So what is the criteria by these morons to dictate who is the best player, is it only titles? If so then Taylor is the best, Bristow has more world titles than MvG so arguably the second best, and had the old pre-split BDO had as many TV ranking Majors as the PDC does today, Bristow's haul would be even greater.
Or is the criteria simply just averages ? If so that is just ignorance of the highest level, when Taylor hit the record comp averages, it was on boards with smaller trebles, and as for Bristow he won his titles at a time when the boards were even worse, with even smaller trebles, thicker wires that caused more bounce outs, with added staples making the trebles even smaller,, then factor in thicker fatter darts, but along comes a new generation, uneducated, stupid, and brainwashed by idiotic comms who would have you believe everything today is better. MvG has won 3 World titles in his almost 20 years in the PDC. Taylor won 8 in a row in his first 9 years in the PDC, and already had pre split world titles before that. As for Bristow he won 5 World titles in a seven year period, but modern fans simply dismiss Bristow because of recency bias because of jobber ignorant fuckers like Mardle who spouts nonsense and gullible people swallow it whole. This reminds me of one of the most retarded tweets I ever saw, who remembers this mental illness
Imagine thinking Bristow could not even win a tour card, this cunt is allowed drive, and even vote, thankfully too dumb to get a woman and breed.
As I said earlier, back around 2022 and even before it people were trying to convince others MvG was better than Taylor, but MvG has not won a ranking tv title since 2022 and now the same cretins who called MvG better than Taylor suddenly went quiet only to pipe up again now claiming Littler is better than MvG. some people are so fickle. I think Littler is an incredible player, MvG was an incredible player but make no mistake, Bristow would have mentally destroyed both of them, Littler won't have the stamina, determination and longevity of Taylor. MvG is on the wane, and he knows it, despite him spouting things like "people fear me". which no one believes. Yes Littler today has people raving about him, and is hugely popular but Bristow was the biggest superstar in the game, people were raving about Bristow globally in a time before social media even existed. Again this is another example of ignorant people thinking everything today is new or better or has never been done before today.
People need to stop listening to the likes of Mardle and accepting his nonsense as fact, ignore Dan Dawson and his lunacy ramblings of Barney having 4 world titles, or Stuart Pyke that complete asshole telling us how Bunting is one of the most popular players in the game. Start thinking for yourselves, go watch old matches from pre split BDO matches in their entirety, see the shit boards, watch how many bounce outs, look at the darts and equipment, see the passion of fans , just don't take the words of comms paid to brainwash you to believe everything is suddenly better so they can sell you more tickets, or get you to pay for Sky or PDC TV subscription.
OTHER SHIT
The player's championships is a strange one, part of me hates that so many elite players skip these and lessen their value, but on the flip side, I am happy the lesser players are getting better chances to earn some badly needed coin. One player who is hoping it carries on like this is the match fixing prick Nijman as in under 2 years he is going to be defending a lot of floor money in a time when its likely all the top players will be regulary competing as I cannot see the PDC not doing anything about these PC's.
The next darts is 2 weeks time for yet another scabby exbo in New Zealand followed the week after by another World Series exbo in Australia, utter meaningless shit.
