It is what it is.

The minor tournaments don't interest me. The important ones do.

For me, darts and probably darts forums peaked between 2015 and 2020. The top-end of the PDC was at its best and the BDO provided tons of unintentional entertainment.
- I feel like since Clayton got raped by Aspinall, all of my favourites have barely won a match, except Joyce. Everyone losing all the time.

- There is a growing swarm of try-hard, boring and 'head shaking if they don't average 100' players at the top of the game now. It's draining watching players win, play good-not great and then moan.

. You could put Price, Humphries, Bellyboy, Cullen, Dobey, Aspinall, Cross, Rock, Searle, Smudger and Schindler all into this category.

- The ones who have gimmicks and act clowns are cringey as fuck and lack charisma- Damon Heta, Twit, Ricky Evans etc. The old guard of gimmicky walk ons, Mardle, Manley, Part, TJ, Merv with the trumpet fanfare, all had miles more genuine charisma in their walk ons than the players today.

- Like no offence to him but Madars Razma playing right now. I think I've seen him smile once in my life. The epitome of boredom and misery.

'Merv' and 'charisma' in 1 sentence.
