Can't even be arsed to practice for the Seniors, lazy bastard

[daveboygreen]

Known Peter a lot of years and I doubt very much if that is the case, Not saying he will go all out between now and then but I bet he will put some serious effort into practice at least 2-3 weeks beforehand.

A quite haunting article on Duzza in the Guardian. I clipped a few quotes but it's worth reading the whole thing if you want.

“If you look at the Premier League final, there was something creeping into my game,” he says. “It’s not a natural throw. It’s pretty mechanical. I knew I was extending my arm too far back. Then you begin to overthink, and you start losing, and the confidence aspect comes into it. Like a golfer having the yips, or a footballer who can’t score from six yards out ... I was in panic mode.”
----------
“I decided to go back to the local leagues, and that was an absolute disaster,” he says. “Every dart I was pulling and snatching. I went to Redcar races with my daughter and a guy shouted: ‘Now then Glen, are you still playing snooker?’ I said no. And he went: ‘Well you should be, because you’re shite at darts.’ And then about 20 people started laughing. People have such short memories.”
----------
“I don’t want Michael Smith and all them saying nice things about me. The last thing I wanted was sympathy. I want people to hate me. I want to get under their skin. Gerwyn Price called me a fat elephant once. The niceness is nice, but I preferred it when people were horrible to me. Because it meant I was winning.

“I’ve never once contemplated retiring. I’m realistic; I don’t have the dream of being a world champion again. All I want is to be competitive. I don’t want to be: ‘God, remember that guy who won the Premier League and capitulated within 18 months?’ I want to be someone who reached rock bottom, and started climbing back up.”

Btw, Rob Maul wrote yesterday that Sherrock is expected to be in the PL.

Since Matt Porter and Uncle Eddie spoke on the subject I've been fairly sure that she will be. Now that they've opened the door, well... there is no scenario imaginable where Sky wouldn't pick her.

And to think this time last year he was a leg away from the quarter-finals of the Worlds, he's really fallen off a cliff since then. Would probably make for an absolute shitfest of a match, but I hope he's somewhat competitive against Willie (let's be honest the dream is for him to beat Smiffy in round 3 lol)
