- Well vdv,why don't you come back and show the darts world how good you are? Your opinions are offered up nearly every day,but you're not really backing up your biased opinions with anything solidrick6713-04-2026
- Comparing Van veen to Littler is a bit silly, there is 5 years between them, would you compare Luke to a 13 year old?mikedarts10-04-2026
- I think vdv should keep his opinions to himselfrick6710-04-2026
- I don't know why this is relevant. Mr Paul should stick to what he's good at, although I'm not sure what that is,apart from talking about himselfrick6708-04-2026

- The PL is still mostly UK. It's the flights and delays that they don't like, made worse with more Brexit checks coming in recently.BandB08-04-2026
- I don't get this. I like Nathan,seems a nice bloke. Yet he's moaning about travelling,and the next thing, saying he missed the premier league? Well that's a lot of travelling saved! I keep saying scrap the premier league,but am I the only 1 who thinks it just causes a rift between the players? Scrap the thing,have a few tournaments for everyone instead,not just 8!!rick6707-04-2026
- Well,he doesn't want to play in Germany,and now he's letting things get to him. I appreciate he's a fantastic player,he's won loads,but perhaps he should perhaps learn to grow up a bit and realise whoever you are,you can't win every single match.rick6703-04-2026
- I'm afraid the physique of Mr littler is not that of an elite sportsman. Remember when he was on kebabs and burgers,and proudly announced it? He's still a great player thoughrick6726-03-2026
