“I’m just here to give you a sore head and p*ss you off”: Anderson takes aim at Nicholson comments after ProTour title

Gary Anderson sealed his first title in three years at Players Championship 8 on Monday evening.

As ever though, Anderson gave an eventful post match interview with Paul Nicholson receiving some stern words after comments made in a Sporting Life column that he is one of darts sore losers.

“I’m playing well. I am practicing and it’s going alright,” said a fired-up Anderson.

“I must admit, I read a tweet from Paul Nicholson saying I’m one of the world’s worst losers.

“I’m going to have a wee chat with him when I get him on the corner because there’s losing and there’s being done over.

“So which one is being a ‘bad loser’? Is it the Gary that’s getting beat and gives it ‘hands up – you played well’, or is it the boy who’s effing and blinding in your ear?

“I’ve had that in my head today and I’m gunning for him.

“I’m just here to give you a sore head and p*ss you off, which I’m doing quite well to be honest.

“Paul says I’m a bad loser, well we’ll see.

“I’m just back playing darts and enjoying it. It’s been something I’ve not wanted to do for the last three years.

“I usually come here and I’ve got a face like fizz because I’ve had two flights and a taxi but I’ve had a good laugh this weekend.

“I’ve spent 28/29 years of my life out of a suitcase – I like being at home, so for me to come here and play darts, it’s a step forward and it’s giving a lot of folk headaches.”
