fucking love following qschool on dartconnect, and will be watching durrant on modus tomorrow.

assume it mightve been said but havent read all - but surely littler not winning is the best thing that could happen for his career, peaking so soon surely couldnt be a good thing long term.

Impossible to comprehend the question, let alone measure it.

That it was perhaps the best Worlds since Taylor quit is a more digestible topic.
It depends how they are defining greatest. For level of play, only Humphries and Littler hit high levels. The rest of the field were shite. The final itself also didnt go the distance which I would argue is another factor that also doesn't really sit well in 'greatest ever' claims.

I'm aware of that.

I'm more interested in his other seasons in the 1970s.

There will be a nostalgia factor. Go into with open eyes, enjoy the odd 85+ average and curse the sub 60's ones.

Probably sat in his Barbados beach front villa , watching on, having backed Littler at 250-1 in September after being behind the curtains during the pre filming at the ' Ally Pally mock up ' in Sky Studios.
Fair play to him. If only he could come on here after the event and brag to everyone.
Just for you my friend.
Nigel Cheeseman Blenkinsop here ( N C.B.) in person , greeting you from Barbados .
Shade cool here today , just watched my man Lukey clean up for me
Backed him at 16/1 for the Grand Prix and same price for this event and in a double , also lumped on him in the Players..
Littler was a Gay Sky plant , to replace Fallon and Rock.
Littler is a fake , they even took the Mickey by giving him that surname when he's a fatty .
Notice how they often use alliteration when naming these *stars
His real name is Nathan Slack and he's 24 . Was in a youth detention centre for 2 years for hacking Bank accounts online .
They pre filmed many of his earlier games .
How many times did I tell you Lemons about Brian Damage ( MVG) ? He was seriously ill , he got worse and now his stand in Billy , is the guy you see . They tried to fix his face but now he's got jaw and teeth issues .
Notice how they never show his ' Mrs' Brian Damages Mrs refused to go along with it .
I dragged Fatty Fatty Smith to a psychologist towards the end of last year and look what happened. I made a packet.
He decided he didn't need my help after that and now look at him .

I moved here properly mid 2023
I'm now an advisor to the Barbados sports ministry .
My utube got taken down after I forecast the first 3 in the correct order in the 2022 Grand National , I was investigated . Government agents called and advised me to be careful.
I took up healing through prayer and saved several lives , mainly on local TV and radio.
I moved briefly to Lowestoft where I opened a homeless centre but they shut it down having tracked me down and said it was a money laundering front.
In the end I came here.

I was laughing at the idiots who banned me , they were talking about going to their shift at the warehouse , some people just like being poor , it's a form of Stockholm syndrome.
I showed them the light and they threw a big black blanket over it .
They will ban me again now as they Fear my Methods.

I thank you for your faith and loyalty. Halloween Jack you are a very discerning man.
If you want to contact me Gmail jefflamp76@gmail.com The guy who played him in ' The Office ' was a friend of mine from when I ran a large Acting Agency, sadly he passed away recently.
I won't reply to anyone else from here . You'll have to pass some security questions. I'll ask you a few about my past which only somebody who's followed me may know.
Why don't you start a rival darts forum and I'd pop in with info , just on the Big tournaments.
I've got so much money I don't need the aggravation anymore , I'm actually thinking of buying Costa Rica .
Wonder how the brain deads on here will react to reading a dose of N.C.B its rare in life that you're in the presence of genius .

Regards for now N.C B.

I hope you enjoy the book. It won’t be as good as Nigel Cheeseman Blenkinsops autobiography though. I would even buy you a copy.

I'd love to see the over 50's PDC card holders play the senior tour. Would be interesting to watch. Gando / Gilding to clean up.

Cross did too, but was slightly less consistent. And Bunting, until he shat the bed against MvG.

It would be mildly interesting, but not very competitive.

True, but the nostalgia factor kicks in.

Would also answer some of those bottle /no bottle questions. Would aid my PhD / research into sports / age related confidence in any case.

Dobey was incredible too, tailed off a tiny bit while Cross was fighting back, but not massively so
