Wade takes aim at Premier League title tilt: "I have got fire in my belly, I think I will win it again"

James Wade takes on Joe Cullen in Liverpool tonight as he looks to regain a Premier League Darts crown he won back in 2009.

Wade discussed to Oche about his mindset surrounding darts and how he now has the hunger and desire again after a period in the doldrums.

“I think I will win it again, I am pretty sure I will. I had six or seven years where I just wasn’t in the mix, I was still there or thereabouts," he said to Oche.

“But I just fell completely out of love with it and I wasn’t right as a person and the last three years I have just got back to being happy where I am as a person and what I’m doing.

“I have got fire in my belly, it is just not always lit. I have been doing it for a long time, so questions like that are not best put to me because I have been here for so long.

“If I am in the mood for it it will work, if I’m not it doesn’t matter what I do, it isn’t happening. There is nothing worse than trying to force something because it just gets worse.

“What is the difference between having fire lit or not? Mental health. And you can’t do anything to control that unfortunately.”
