2018 Premier League

[Addicks Fan]

Went to chat with a mate tonight in a local pub (Fusilier if you are interested). There was a darts match on in the pub (Mrs devo was in the pub yesterday playing for the legion, and won singles and doubles, btw).

point being: they had the PL on the TV and plenty of folks were watching it and discussing it. Not dead yet is it?

Not at all. Who said it was.?

No-one, he's just arguing with himself

Had a lass helping me here in Madrid this week. In a quiet moment we got chatting about what sports we do or watch. Got on to darts.
Oh I love darts she says. Been to lakeside a few times. I feel really posh there.
Talking about players she could only mention Wolfe, her favourite. And struggled with a Dutch player who was really good.
I said Kist? Eventually realised she was taking about Barney
Bizarrely never heard of MVG.

So, how long ago had she "Been to lakeside a few times"?

perhaps dead not the right word. some post that folks who play darts have lost interest in the PL. See elsewhere a post that folks didn't watch it.

1st time I have been in a pub when PL was on and a local darts league. folks watching it (when not playing) and discussing it.

Would be interesting how many posters on here are at a darts match on a Thursday night and how many have the PL on.

It is on one of the screens in our Sports bar on a Thursday night. However football takes priority on the big screen.

Sound like it got a bit rowdy last night.

Indeed, let's hope for the victims sake it was beer.

If above referring to the thread on real fanatics he ends it by saying he would go again but not to leeds.

Always on during our home and away games and always watched with great interest.

DARYL GURNEY admits to being frustrated as he continues to chase his maiden Unibet Premier League victory.

The World Grand Prix champion drew for the third time in five matches this season as he shared the points with Gary Anderson in Leeds last Thursday.

However, Gurney has been ahead in all three matches that he has drawn - against Raymond van Barneveld on Night One and Gerwyn Price on Night Three - and has twice missed match darts, including two agonising chances against Anderson.

Gurney meets Simon Whitlock as the Premier League visits Nottingham this Thursday, and admitted: "It's very frustrating.

"I thought the double 12 was in and the double six was in, but all credit to Gary, he's a great professional and he sticks in there, and if I missed a chance he came in and took it out.

"I missed a couple of opportunities again, at the end of the day I am playing well. I'm not playing my best but I'm still giving myself opportunities."

Gurney has defeated Whitlock in their last six meetings, including October's World Grand Prix final, and he added: "Me and Simon are good friends and I'm looking forward to that game.

"I look forward to playing in every single game because I'd love to play in the Premier League every single week.

"If don't enjoy crowds like we had in Leeds or every other night then you shouldn't be playing darts."
