Rob Cross has lost his last five games since becoming World Champion.
Just got in. Caught the Price v Anderson game. I hate that “Sheep shagging bastards” song. Cringey as ****.
Yes, and been absolutely rubbish in all of them. It's maybe not so much of a surprise, given his meteoric rise in the game. Winning the World Championship is hard enough. Dealing with everything that comes with it will be another major experience for him. He's now with the big boys and has to perform. Steep learning curve, even if he is World Champ.
Tonight's games.
Mensur Suljovic v Michael Smith
Daryl Gurney v Gerwyn Price
Peter Wright v Rob Cross
Gary Anderson v Michael van Gerwen
Simon Whitlock v Raymond van Barneveld
I predict wins for - Smith, Gurney, Wright, MVG and a draw in the Barney v Whitlock game.
Smith started this competition well.
Bit of afters with Wright and Cross. Wright refused to shake his hand.
Darts, the new WWF
I think Wright was insinuating that Cross was stamping on the floor behind him. I don't see Wright as particularly fond of causing a scene, but neither do I think Cross would stoop to that level. It's probably something of nothing that wound Snakebite up at the time. It takes something to do that. It's usually his wife that causes the odd problem!
Tonight's darts from Berlin.
Michael Smith v Simon Whitlock
Gerwyn Price v Mensur Suljovic
Michael van Gerwen v Daryl Gurney
Rob Cross v Raymond van Barneveld
Peter Wright v Gary Anderson
I'll go for wins for, Smith, MVG and Anderson, with the other two matches being draws.
Am I alone in wishing a painful torture on Sulovic?
Am I the only Welshman who can’t ****ing stand Gerwin Price?!??
