- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
