Despite not being able to watch, no sky sports subscription these days. I miss out on football too.

But anyway, the sad covid cases have obviously opened it up for some players. James Wade to finally do it? I see Anderson and Cross had a cracker last night. This time, it was Anderson fighting off the comeback to secure a 4-3.

And of course, Peter Peter Wright Peter Peter Wright na na na na na na na na na.

Return tomorrow for the quarter-finals.

James Wade vs Mervyn King
Luke Humphries vs Gary Anderson
Peter Wright vs Callan Rydz
Gerwyn Price vs Michael Smith

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Nope, it is another world championship semi defeat for James Wade. The fourth of his career. Michael Smith advances to the final with 6-3.

Anderson vs Wright is starting now.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

MVG is not amused.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I see Gerwyn Price was triggered again.

''The "gutted" World No1 seemed to blame the hostile Ally Pally crowd following his shock 5-1 mauling against German Gabriel Clemens in the quarter-finals.'' The top seed returned from a break at 3-1 down to don headphones for one set as supporters continued to give him stick.

But the change did the Welshman little good - and afterwards he promptly posted on Instagram that he is considering QUITTING. The Iceman, 37, wrote: "So frustrating, you play all year round preparing for this one tournament. "So gutted I wasn't let play but Good luck everyone left in. Not sure I will ever play in this event again."

Price has regularly been targeted by fans since the controversial argy-bargy of his notorious win over Gary Anderson in the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts final. He was later fined a then-world record fee of £21,500 – reduced to £11,500 on appeal.''

 

[Poisoned Slice]

So yeah, sky sports back on and had to watch some darts after the football.

Michael Smith defeats Michael Van Gerwen 7-4 to ''bring Darts back home.'' Scenes afterward with the Smith family. Just lovely stuff., The first English winner since Rob Cross in 2018. It was looking a bit nervy for him at 6-3 and MVG got it back to 4-6 and 2-0. Smith regroups and no mistakes.

We also had a nine darter from Smith.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I've been watching the world championship.

Luke Littler is making a lot of noise, 16 years old! His quarter-final vs Dolan is coming up soon. Littler is a Man United supporter, but he was at the Spurs games over the weekend because darts enthusiast James Maddison invited him. The kid is already a superstar. Get used to it. haha @Kralingen

But damn, fair play to Rob Cross. He just set a record, I believe he the first player to ever come back from 0-4 to win 5-4. Just look at the stats. The missed double-ins for Dobey.

 

[RS]

Luke Litter seems to be making headlines

 

[Kralingen]

“Luke Littler” FFS

I assume Burt Reynolds as Jack is involved somehow. too perfect. Maybe that’s where Madders comes in.

Anyways, he seems to be the only one who isn’t borderline morbidly obese… not yet, anyway… so has a huge leg up on the rest.

Vs the Chris Lovejoy of darts. From my homeland.

Van Gerwen struggling. Is another one getting away?

Can you please explain for the uninitiated the difference between PDC and BDO?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

The semi-final vs Cross should be the real test. Well, I'd think so anyway.

What is the Difference Between the BDO and the PDC? | FAQ | Rules of Sport

What is the Difference Between the BDO and the PDC? The BDO stands for the British Darts Organisation and the PDC is the Professional Darts Council and they are both professional darts organisations. Unlike most professional sports where there is one...

www.rulesofsport.com

This will explain it better than I can.

My answer would be, PDC has the better players.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Yes, my son. Williams looked like he could choke, but it wasn't to be, he held strong. Some of MVG darts flying out of the board.

Brilliant. haha

Mel Smith also did a great Frank Sinatra parody.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Can't say I'll be watching the last quarter-final.

 

[optic yellow]

That is an absolutely savage parody, deeply contemptuous. There is nothing playful about it at all.

It was acceptable in the 80s.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Can Littler go all the way?

From what I've read, it sounds like Humphries was the inform player coming into the tournament. He plays Williams. Littler vs Cross.

I guess my heart is with Littler. The storyline and all that.

There's only one Phil Taylor.

 

[optic yellow]

It was acceptable in the 80s.

It's still acceptable now. I was just noting the tenor of it.

I wonder what you would think of the tenor of my Prat FC team talks. You'd probably see the bright side of it since you know what it's like managing fantasy football teams that don't do what they're supposed to do.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Littler behind for the first time

Cross almost with a beautiful 167. Oh, it's on.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Cross missed chances for the 2-0, it looked like it was getting to Littler, but he somehow wins the set. 1-1

 

[Poisoned Slice]

At this moment in time, I'm genuinely impressed. Littler cookin.

Wayne Mardle even made me laugh. lol ''Rob will be angry with that. He'll be Cross.'' Yeah, I'm easily amused.

Whatever you say they deserve that is bloody well sure.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Littler is one set away from the final.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Fair play to the lad. Just finishes it off with his first attempt at the match dart, was making all the pressure moments. Cracking little player.

It always feels like more notable when they miss than when they don't.

Humphries reminds me of Bruno Fernandes.

[Kralingen]

Luke Littler says it’s my big dart.

Madders quietly applauds.

Spill the wine playing thru the speakers.

Incredible scenes!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Poisoned Slice]

The other semi-final as one-sided as can be. 5-0. Looking to get out of there, double quick, double time.

Can now understand why Humphries was rated so highly coming into this.

''Grace and elegance to his game here.''

Federer style.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

And that's that, no time to waste. 6-0. Luke Littler vs Luke Humphries final coming up. Whose side are you on?

That was really impressive tonight. Both of them looked great.

Erik ten Hag has become a bit of a meme legend for me.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'm hyped for the final.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Got a lot of respect for these men. The best pure athletes in the world and the working classs vibe they bring to it. Oh yeah, I'm all for that.

Let's go darts.

How can I watch this?

How can I watch this?

Sorry, I don't know of any stream links.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Humphries giving the kid a good beating here at the start. First five frames.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Missed double top for 2 set lead but now we're level. Littler with a lovely 142 checkout along the way.

GAME ON! I luv it.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

This could turn into an epic. First four sets already positively riveting.

''Luke Littler has now won more sets in PDC World Championship finals than Peter Manley, who reached 3 finals.''

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Littler with the 2 set lead now. Humphries looking a bit rattled.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Oh, that miss for 5-2 could have been the turning point. Now we're back at 4-4.
