[Cooking with Sandra]

Hurrell has had a really fucking good start.

[TheMalteseDart]

Numbers have been excellent on occasion too, think he will thrive on the floor in comparison to tv. He did say in an interview he prefers playing with no crowd

[The Thorn]

People won't like this but I suspect he's not the only one. Fair play to him for saying that.

It makes sense I guess, you’re just solely focused on your darts with no distractions. I guess the opposite for players that love the crowd comes down to thriving from Adrenalin / intensity.

I reckon Van den Bergh is much better on stage as one off games are much easier to hit the right alcohol spot than a long day of pro tour

[Cooking with Sandra]

Almost more than any other two players combined!

[Rogg]

Provisionally a Luke-off in the last 16 at Ally Pally.

[TheMalteseDart]

18k from a limited number of events is very impressive from Capy

[Cooking with Sandra]

He's had a very decent turnaround in form and seemingly a bit of an attitude change.

[The Thorn]

Wattimena is a cunt

[Cooking with Sandra]

You are a cunt.
