Obscene?

[sussex chippy]

Apples everywhere.

When was there last a winner of a big PDC event as startling as this? I'm struggling to think. They keep saying he was 100/1 if that's a guide for anything.

Cross winning the Worlds ?

Aspinall at the UK would have been long odds

You're so fortunate living in the best chippie town in the UK. Welcome

Cheers

Long time lurker, plunge taken.

Anybody but Smith winning this is a bonus ...win win final for me..

You sound like you think the final is tonight...

I never watched it, maybe thats how

Methinks a new profile pic is on the cards...

Come on then!

I was examining your profile pic... Champions League winner and World Matchplay champion, there. Do people generally remember that DVdB had already made a (non-youth) TV final before, beating MVG and Ando along the way? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_German_Darts_Masters

The World Series events get lost in time which is fair enough but I think they can still leave a mark on players. He climbed a big hill that weekend by his standards.

No no no, no-one's watching since they got rid of the walk-on girls

Changed, but I'm also not forgetting my first darting love! (apart from Alex Roy and Mark Walsh probably lol). That was a great weekend (Karius Champions League final night as well), thought he'd kick on there and then, but it proved a rather torturous road from there!

[shenmue]

Sick of seeing Wade vs Keegan Brown, seem to play each other every year in at least one of the majors. Hopefully we get wade vs Ando and it would be hilarious seeing Price demolish Lewis in the 2nd round.

Rob Cross v Gabriel Clemens, Peter Wright v Jose De Sousa,Glen Durrant v Jeffrey de Zwaan, Nathan Aspinall v Dimitri Van den Bergh and Michael Smith v Jonny Clayton could be good matches if the underdogs turn up.

More chance of me waking up a woman than van den overrated beating Aspinall

LOL.

"I am human" in the words of MVG

[shenmue]

I'll be ready to laugh when Dimitri chokes. Chizzy will end up with more majors than Dimitri.

A truly sad post but i miss you chizzyfan, hope you are not dead.
