    vs Whitlock and Heta... both can be quite hit-or-miss though. Have to wonder about Whitlock's confidence levels after the Grand Prix exit.

    You've called him and others much worse than that. You're nothing but a hypocrite.

    No-one has any problems with posting news, it's adding personal opinions into the text that's putting people off.

    wrt MvG, I think he's definitely missed his mark with those comments. International travel with the state of the world right now is still a risky thing, and it's not like darts players are always in their own bubble like what F1 is doing.

    sorry but when you are in the public eye and do things like trying to sleep with slappers when your wife is pregnant you are going to get called out.

    But like so many on here, they dont care , its all about the poster than the post.

    The Singapore team just announced they won't be going as they will not be left back in to Singapore after it regardless if they quarantined or had tests done.

    They've been replaced by a Portugal team. Jose De Sousa and someone else.

    One of the Chinese players has been replaced too.

    The tournament will now be played behind closed doors as regulations in Austria have changed.

    Wales are 2nd favorites for this priced at 11/4. Really tempting. Price and Clayton are playing really well the last month.

    Top half of that draw looks so much more open. England, Belgium, Northern Ireland, Austria. If De Sousa brings his current form maybe Portugal could have a decent tournament. I like the 9/1 on Belgium myself.

    Bottom half has Wales, Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Ireland, Australia, South Africa. Tougher route to the final.

    Wales as favorites now at 3-1 and rightfully so....how they were second favorites is a weird one.


    The form of price and clayton is vastly superior to that of Cross and smith,


    I would be surprised if england got anywhere near the final, even in this joke of a comp
