BUFFOONS, both media and pontificators, recently labeled Chelsea in same way Austalians once did England's rugby team.
SMART folk, who can think back more than 5 mins, recall the times that adding a dash of experience & character was the final ingredient

FABULOUS man, fine player and gutsy with it. 🎯🏴
🎯🎂 | BARRIE’S BIRTHDAY
🍾 Candles for ‘Champagne’ who turns 57 today.
The hugely popular Bates has won several ProTour titles and reached the UK Open final.
A proud Welshman who also represented the principality at the World Cup of Darts.
Many Happy Returns!

The next time we kick off a European Tour it will be in 4 months
- We will have 5 new major champions, including a World Champion
- We will have started the 2027 Premier League
- The likes of Dimi Van den Bergh and Ryan Meikle may no longer have a Tour Card
- We will have 25-30 new Tour Card Holders
Lets make the most if this weekend🎯🎯
🎯| THE HEAT
For reasons that are beyond me Dennis Ovens popped into my head earlier today.
His habit of wearing stag night shirts, and just slapping the sponsorship patches on them, always appealed to me.
He could play though, and was a lovely guy in person.

DW issues I had a major hand in often tried to insert a supplement style middle section with a wider theme.
Celebrating the huge contribution of Wales
Can you spot the two legends playing the Obi Wan type roles on the cover...

🎯🖤 | STEFAN LORD
The Super Swede (left) has died.
He was one of the first dartsmiths to grab my attention in the 70s.
He had silky throw, was twice winner of the News of The World and a two- time world semifinalist.
Huge ambassador for 🇪🇺🇸🇪 darts at a vital juncture.
Fabulous player and good bloke too.
Stepped into a massively tough era and won the biggest titles
Not often acknowledged was his elite longevity
First real example of what we see today with top class careers continuing well into players 50s
Hugely undervalued player. A long and successful career with fantastic titles, finals and a longevity rarely matched.
As well as the remarkable turn abouts, the best thing in this clip is the reaction of MVG.
Very few players would be be able to take coming back from 3-7 and losing 9-10 with such a smile.
The enthusiasm of the team mates / watchers is the gift here
Quite possibly the luckiest dart I've ever seen 😂

Totally true that by most fair measures Boris Becker is underrated.
BUT
The most remarkable record is that of Bjorn Borg!
All 30 ATP World Number 1s sorted by career top 10 wins and career top 10 win %
Observations:
Djokovic is the monumental 🐐
Boris Becker is vastly underrated
Rios and Roddick only #1s with sub 40% win rate.
Possibly the most interesting newcomer for quite some time.
Gratulujemy udanego sezonu! ❤️
🇵🇱 Karolina Ratajska wystąpiła w 16 z 24 turniejów cyklu PDC Women's Series 2026. W tym czasie zanotowała:
- dwa finały,

Końcowy wynik to 11. miejsce w klasyfikacji generalnej najważniejszego kobiecego touru w świecie darta. Czekamy na sezon 2027! 👏

Two things ring especially true here:
1) A remarkable effort from Vicky P who was reaching Majors in the last century
2) Gail King gets no where near enough credit for her effort.
Vicky Pruim is the 10th female player to qualify for the PDC World Championships!

🎯| Remarkable & Undervalued.
I met him in the early 80s, he was a marvellous ambassador for darts and loved by everyone.
He could play as well! Avg c98 (vs Evans) at the first World Champs.
Almost a decade later his run to the final of 🇬🇧 professional was hugely popular!
🖤 | 20 years since Paul Hunter's death
A terrible loss to his family, friends amd snooker.
Of all the Sports people I've seen go Paul's death stung most bitter.
Massive talent, huge charisma and a boy next door type charm that endeared him.
RIP Paul
The idea that this man has not led England's national side is utterly bizarre!
