In Sheffield watching a bit of hoops.

I feel I ought to remind everyone at this stage that in any match, any outcome is possible no matter how unlikely it may seem.

If the owners of man united haven’t worked out by now that they need to employ better footballers no matter who the manager is they never will.

Friends, it’s the final session of darts before Christmas. This has been a challenging time for a number of reasons. Peace, love and good health to all ❤️

Liverpool take the opening set

Wesselmania

Pantomime season at Tottenham

Curious decusion by both managers not to pick a goal Keeper

Here’s a suggestion for the owners of Man United. Try employing better footballers.

Postecoglu out

happy world darts day to all who celebrate! www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d...

Forest look annoyed with that VAR decision. They voted to have VAR and the forensic analysis. They’ve got what they wanted.

The FA should make spurs play behind closed doors If these pea brains are incapable of behaving themselves

Why isn’t cucerella wearing the correct footwear?

THEYwillblame the officials but that’s ineptitude by Martinelli.

Graham Taylor - until they change the rules of the game, set pieces and restarts will always determine the outcome of football matches

Maybe jim Ratcliffe/ Ineos aren’t as smart as advertised?

How many more times? Swapping one manager for another if a similar level is unlikely to make any difference without employing better footballers.

I can never understand why hitting six sixes in an over doesn’t get a mention in “ the most difficult feat in sport” stakes. I believe it’s only been done 13 times in history.

No darts player hits over 50 percent of attempts at doubles. A top snooker player would be disgusted with a pot success rate of under 90 per cent.

Shaun Murphy keeps telling us a 147 is harder than a 9 darter then promptly knocks in a maxi and informs us he should have had 2 in 3 frames. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve often pointed out changing a manager without changing players is unlikely to make much difference. Clive points out 14 of last 15 new managers in EPL won less than 5 of first ten games.

I remember when the Cup draw lasted 5 minutes. Now it’s an entire mini series.

Bluesky is like a cosy centrally heated room. Twitter is like a trip to the outside lav in the middle of Winter.

deeply trivial and deathly serious www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/n...

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on. It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting

What the petition calling for a general election re-run means, and what it doesn't mean @bnhwalker / @bwalker.uk https://buff.ly/499DxsH

Why are snooker players increasingly trying to referee the match as well as play in it?

Post worlds darts draw thoughts for punters. We should focus on the bottom half. Already suggested Ando. Would also be happy to add Wessel mania at 40, Rocky at 66 and Dimitri at 80. Humphries was briefly available at 4-1 when littler disciples thought their man was invincible. The champ now 3-1

Nijman fair at 40-1 post draw #wesselmania

Latest world championship darts odds -

Luke littler is 1.44 to beat Luke Humphries. If he does so it’s possible he’ll go off odds on for the world championship

Just wondering how close to even money Luke littler’s SP for the world championship will be?

Despite what anyone tells you Humphries and littler cannot meet in the world final. They will be in the same half of the draw

Guardiola out!!!

Danny Noppert’s win puts Gary Anderson in the sweet spot for the WC draw barring 2or 3 below him leapfrogging him this weekend. All aboard the Flying Scotsman at 12-1🎯

Noppert v burton is arguably the biggest game of this tournament due to the way it could impact on the seedings for the Worlds 🎯

Oddly Rob cross could end up gaining from that 6-0 towelling. If he can drop to 6th in the world rankings

Those complaining about unwillingness to continue on Twitter, and saying it's avoiding debate, tell me how you debate with endless memes, emojis and one line insults?

I briefly had a look at Twitter and was immediately subjected to the right wing ramblings of the pseudo libertarian narcissist + the homophobia + misogyny of a former footballer. Lamentable

Good morning everyone!

The one thing Brian Clough NEVER tolerated was his players swearing at referees…

Three cheers for Rodrigues!

There’s likely to be some shrewd EW bets on a lopsided draw.

Latest betting for the World Darts championship after Luke Littler’s Grand Slam win. 🤔

Right. Let’s see what this is all about.
