Alan Carasso After last week, I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. The Matchroom/ITV coverage was exceptional!

Well, I made to 59 before turning into that old git who has decided modern football is shit. But it is. Dull, risk-free, loads of pointless passing, endless laborious set-pieces, VAR, over-coached players. Such a shame.

Interesting watching the coverage this evening, Sky really need to up their game, this is miles off what Matchroom did for ITV last weekend. I get they can't change much in a few days, but they will have to over the next few weeks.

Pretty standard for Sky which is what we’re used to seeing But I must say, ITV/Matchroom have really raised the bar when it comes to the broadcast now. Still early days for sure but I think ITV is now the better of the two which I never thought would be the case 👀🎯

Telegraph Sport Simon Briggs An article complaining about paywalls from behind a paywall. Good stuff lads

It would be an interesting development if Hundred teams that don’t bid for Pakistani players were investigated for a breach of the Equality Act 2010… I wonder if a mischievous person might bring the matter to the attention of Equality and Human Rights Commission.

4pm hotel check-in and 11am check-out is one of the biggest scam in our society😂

For the love of god, Premier League sort these corners out. Trying to crowd the goalkeeper with as many players as possible & forcing a mistake or rugby scrumming the ball into the net. It is not football & it is not a good look for Premier League as a whole.

🚨Premier League needs to step in. These corners are getting ridiculous. Arsenal started it, and now the most beautiful football league in the world is turning into rugby. It has to stop.

Is this the worst premier league season of all time? Nearly every team is shit and almost every game is terrible.

Nobody quite did media like Phil Taylor. This was Taylor after thrashing Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final of his last ever World Matchplay before lifting it for the 16th time - Taylor was 4/1 to win this match. “He didn’t text Vincent van der Voort tonight did he?

8 years ago on this horrible day we lost a Darting Genius.still remember the night in Liverpool going on stage in front of 12,000 darts fans. Eric done so much for our sport. At the time he was called an arrogant genius but to me a friend.

Some speech from Keith Deller on that horrible night! Still don't know how he held it in together after losing one of his closest friends!

Fletcher on TNT must be paid by the word. Constant stats and matey banter with "Coisty" and very little silence. Both need binning.

WST Call me a bore, but that is unprofessional

It's going to be a long 17 days dealing with these intros.

Keith Deller MBE The fall off in Comms is almost laughable/embarrassing nowdays, we've gone from legendary voices Sid Wadell, Dave Lanning, John Gwynne and Nigel Pearson, now we're stuck with chuds Dan Dawson, Abigail Davies, Glen Durrant!! There's only Wayne,Rod,Stuart and Chris that's any good

Sir James Anderson is currently the leading wicket taker in the 2026 County Championship — by some margin too. 21 wickets at an average of 12.09 and an economy of 2.54

They should get the girl on that Carragher spat at
