Take down my Christmas decorations, and then the Christmas tree itself on Friday.

Will Humphries and perhaps Littler put the current big 4 (Smith, MVG, Wright, Price) in the shade?
Changing of the guard in the sense that Smith and Price will fall back. Think Wright is done, will have his moments but not top 16 player on consistency. MVG will be MVG. Competition, as ever, in the PDC grows which is only going to be a good thing.
Yeah, that is possible.

I wanted Littler to win.

But I don't begrudge Humph.

Me? Instead of watching darts I am going to read a book.

At the weekend? Some nice outdoor walks.
I'll see you in the book thread
It's a book about Niki Lauda :)

Humpy a rare player who turned great after losing weight. A beautiful story.
A classic example of the importance of diet, preparation and psychology for the modern darts player.

That's the BBC for you. So establishment, yet so ignorant at the same time.

I really enjoyed the tournament overall.

There didn't seem to be as much dross in the earlier stages and there were some exceptional games/performances in the latter stages.

Yeah, that is possible.
I thought Lice was going to dominate for a while a couple of years ago..
It will be interesting to see how Hump reacts to being champion, but Belly, MvG, Krusty, Asp and Ferret are not playing well enough to challenge him at the moment..
Cross is the only one playing well

The semi-finals weren't great, in truth, but most of it from the last 16 onwards was a very good watch.

Sweet.

I'm pretty clueless about his F1 career in the 70s. Hence why I bought the book.
