ricky

I can only get to one of them, though.....

Go back to the original meaning of sport, and darts most definitely is. So long as you're hunting tiny, tiny deer.

York vs KR yes please

Ummmm, I don't think it was....

Premier League line up has been announced. Littler, Humphries, Cross and MvG by right. Dobey, Bunting, Price and Aspinall by invite. Bit surprised by the last two. Price because he sounded thoroughly done with the whole thing at the end of the 2024 PL. Aspinall will be a popular character, but how's his form been recently? I know he just reached the QF but was the draw was fairly gentle for him?

Nice matching of thread title to date

Full disclosure: I didn't know that line from the original poem; I believe I first saw it as the caption to a New Yorker cartoon. Anyway, back to the problems of playing RL in winter, quand descend le soir / au manteau noir

Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?

Once this catches your eye, you'll notice that he does it *all* *the* *time* In the SF, Bunting was on 280 and Littler was yet again on 170. The match was almost over (6-1, 1-1 iirc) and so Bunting threw 60-50-60. As Littler went up he was having trouble controlling his smile. He threw the 60-60-50, and then the two of them shared their moment. And I think this is one of his weapons — he makes losing to him fun, his opponents get to join in with his playfulness. There's a famous clip of him going Tops Tops Tops for a 120 finish against Peter Wright. What the clip failed to include is that a couple of legs earlier Wright had thrown Tops Tops for an 80 finish. Littler's 120 was like saying, nice, but how this? Hence Wright spluttering into his drink as he watched. I forget at which point it was on Friday, I think somewhere in the middle, but Littler went Inner Bull, Double 10 for a 70 finish. What that communicated to MvG, heaven knows.

Not long

The Wright of last night bore no relation to the Wright who limped his way right the way through the Premier League. Wonder how long he can stay in this gear.

Or a hyphen

Blimey, Michael Smith out

Imagine this person: a 40-ish mother of two young lads. They've come across the chance to play the sport and are interested. They've a schoolfriend whose been to a Giants game and was enthusiastic. So she's curious about perhaps taking the whole family to a game, dipping a toe into the water. Now go to the Giants website. What information is it providing to this woman? Basically, nothing. Do Huddersfield want to sell her 4 tickets or not? It doesn't seem like they do.
