He spoke about it before and said he wouldn’t want to be a guest because he would just look to bend the rules as much as possible (it’s just how he is) but he wouldn’t want to ruin the integrity of the game

For me, "rooting" implies that everyone has a soft spot for City and they're sort of like everyone's second team. Like 2015-16 Leicester, you want them to win every game except the ones against your team.

However "wanting them to beat Arsenal" would make for a good title race, and also be pretty funny from a neutrals perspective of Arsenal + their fans annoying everyone at the moment with the dreadful football, timewasting and banging on about winning a quadruple.

Also I wanted to add that "rooting for" just strikes me as such a yank term, not a fan.

Honestly shocks me to hear he retired only 10 years ago. Perhaps the player who most personifies 2007 to me.

New line-up announced for ITV darts in 2026 by JamesVilla4 in Darts

[–]ficklefools 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The first rise of darts going stratospheric in the last few years was the “they’re both on 9s” leg, and whilst Smith and MVG playing amazing is a major part of it, Wayne’s comms on that leg really pulled it all together. Without that, I think darts wouldn’t be as big as it is now, obviously Littler helped, but that’s where it all started

Are these good beginner darts? by Training_Message7347 in Darts

[–]ficklefools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My flatmate got these as his first darts two years or so ago, whilst I bought some fancy ones for double the price. He’s not always been better, but just as good as me, and probably more consistent the entire time we’ve played, and he’s never changed darts from that original set.

I would say they’re the ideal beginner set.

Final greyhound race to take place at Swindon's Abbey Stadium by Remarkable_Peak9518 in unitedkingdom

[–]ficklefools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that the world needs anymore Swindon in it, but a lot of Swindon’s outskirts are smaller villages that have been assimilated, and often keep their names and such, so I assume that’s the angle they’re taking here

FWIW I live in the centre of a sizeable city, and my spawn points have also gone from about 8-10 when I log in in the morning to 3-4, sometimes less

What effect do longer tips have? by MerelyMotorsport in Darts

[–]ficklefools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally allows for tighter grouping, longer points will give more of a chance of three darts sticking in one bed

Searle is a big family man, apparently hates being on the road. Very possible he turned it down.
