Marketing department is pulling a blinder.

Just like Sky didn't comment much on the CLoD because it was on the Beeb.

Events on other networks become persona non grata with only minor mentions.

Something that always intrigues me: How it is possible that halfway december there are wasps in London? While meanwhile it is below 10 degrees outside..

I mean they could have mentioned Andersons win yesterday. That would have been great.

Won't be watching any of this again, shopping to do, shelves to put up and football bets to watch lose.
Saturdays are great.

I was talking about Mike Bushell on the couch on breakfast news not the website.

True story.

But, but, but he doesn't mention a darts tournament that Sky have the rights to enough when he's "on the couch".

I'll let him know Chris took umbrage with his lack of comments on the ongoing first round of a darts tournament on a different channel to the one he works for.
I'm sure his manager is also disgusted and wouldn't be surprised if it was mentioned on Mikes PDR. Definitely a topic that needs discussion in his next appraisal.

Imagine the darts was played indoors in a warm building.

He's only had 2 opportunities to mention it and mentioned it both times.

Not entirely sure why but always had a feeling North was going to win that, even at 2-0 down.

That’s the fourth time this tournament that a British player has edged out an international qualifier three sets to two.

In a 2018 BDO World Championship preliminary match, Chris Harris beat Ümit Uygunsözlü 3-2. He had a 75.22 average to Ümit's 76.19.

I put it to you that you are wrong.

Looks like he ain’t, this current game is as bad if not worse...

What are these averaging here? This feels like the worst best of 5 set match I ever remember at the PDC Worlds
