Two worthy winners tonight.

I was maybe looking at it from a romantic point of view. I agree it’s MVGs to lose 

I think if I was to pick one I’d like to win, it would on reflection be MvG, comes across OK on interviews and after last year, may be it is his time.

Oh yes, made my night, Iceman melted and evaporated……. Not bothered who wins now.

Farcical, bit of karma, if you act like a dick, then expect to get stick from the crowd.

C’mon Clemens, hold that nerve and keep it up.

Went out for a quick pint last night and got led astray, so missed most of the nights play, just seen that Price has made himself unpopular again, was it really that bad when watching live?

I can normally let Mardle’s nonsense pass me by, but tonight he has been at his most annoying, is it the more exciting the games, the more bollocks he spouts……

Another cracking game

What a game this is

To be honest the darts schedule is nuts, much like Snooker the hearns are flogging them every weekend.  Wouldn’t surprise me if we had breakaways in both again 

Yep, Gary has said he doesn’t need to play darts, he’s invested his money and not “pissed it up the wall, like some on the tour”.

Sure we'll hear the usual rubbish from Anderson about how me hasn't practiced much. Either put the work in or retire.

It’s not rubbish, he really doesn’t practice much and has not got the love of the game he once had.  

I’m a bit late to this thread and agree the title was clickbait-esque.  I’ve changed the title, that doesn’t alter the subsequent discussion and points raised.

Way too good for Barney tonight tho 

Yes, sadly, my least favourite player of all time goes through, hope he gets properly f***** over before the final.

My voodoo doll is out… I so want Barney to beat that horrible ****

Cracking start to tonight’s entertainment

Écoute Et Répète

There was the television that used to get wheeled in on a big trolley too.

I only ever took French for two years and I’ll never forget that phrase, and yes, I’d forgotten the big telly in a cupboard on a pole on wheels.

The younger guys in work just can’t fathom that we didn’t have computers at school, the most advanced thing at Ashton Park School was a reel to reel tape recorder the French teacher used in the ‘language lab’……

Another vote for Fairytale of New York

Don’t do films, but a Xmas band video would be..

I think faggots stopped being popular around the time of the BSE scare - you couldn`t get them for love nor money back then. I think people just got a bit more concerned about what was in things like the (and lets be honest, it`s probably best not to think about it!)

As an aside, in the East Midlands around Mansfield and places like that faggots are known as savoury ducks so you go into the butchers and ask `have you got any savoury ducks me duck?`

Faggots are made from pork and pork liver, so not connected to BSE at all, I guess they are just ‘old fashioned’ food.

Some good suggestions here, thanks, though sadly nothing too close to me.  I love a nice faggot, the best ones were from Spring Farm in Winford, not sure if he still makes them,

There are a few foodies on here, so who has a decent butcher they use, not many left now and the supermarkets just don’t carry anything but the popular joints and cuts.

Absolute joke.  The rest of the paddock should just **** off and leave them on their own 

All the teams agreed on the format of a minor and major breach, so they can’t complain about the outcome.  
 

I just went to do your survey, but I feel I couldn’t answer it accurately, I have zero interest in the womens game, so some of the questions have responses that I feel don’t reflect my feelings.  
 

My answer isn’t covered by the selections, I have no interest in the womens game full stop, I didn’t see any of the womens Euros, nor would I watch a womens World Cup.

I've noticed the tendency to the "Bristol L" has been replaced in younger folk who are proper broad, with the "Bristol W".

Evaw Turner, the Primaw Donnaw ... etc

Listen to the first minute of this, Derek Robinson had this sussed many years ago.

To be honest, during his reign, it was the team that drank a lager drink, then drank a cider drink, then drank a vodka drink...

The drinking culture in the club at that time was inexcusable, it must have had a detrimental effect on quite a few of the players careers.
