Feeling nostalgic, I quite fancy doing up a prediction game.

The Last 32 is a nice wee chunk that suits me. 16 matches over 6 sessions either side of Christmas, see below. Follow the thread over the coming days and I'll be trying to get a game going.

Saturday 22nd December: afternoon x3 and evening x3
Sunday 23rd December: afternoon x3 and evening x3
--CHRISTMAS BREAK--
Thursday 27th December: afternoon x3 and evening x1

In fact, sir, this is what will happen. We got the same winner.

I find it difficult to look at things in any way other than some bottom half weakling being provided as a light snack for Gary Anderson in the final.

Having found myself plopping a very dodgy Krusty Wright in the quarter-finals, I think it's fair to say that his draw is favourable. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses much earlier.

Here's dear old Dennis winning the first one. The first of 5 world finals that Pheel actually lost.

[m4rkb]

Got to be honest here but the double whammy of too many games featuring the same faces and the spillover from the Premier league destroying all live links made me drop the sport for a bit as I simple couldn't follow it properly.

But enough is enough. Having missed almost everything from the Worlds and all of the Premlast last year I'm primed again.

Can you please PM me your best live links.

Cross I feel packed everything into one year and is burned out. MVG knows he's in the history books and will play if he wants. Otherwise it's game on.

Even darts isn’t safe from pc nonsense. A female summariser in the studio, and absolutely useless.

Jeez, Sky are obsessed with having a woman involved. Really thought Darts was a sport that would escape it. Couldn’t believe they had one summarising in the Autumn internationals but now darts as well...

Mind you, that first set from Ashton.......

[Rainbowmonkey]

Mind you, that first set from Ashton.......

Scary. She throws so fast, quite the spectacle when she's on it.

The pundit Trina, to be fair, has been reasonably alright doing commentary on BDO events on shitty streams and the like but this is all too much for her and it is rather painful. Hopefully they're only using her in the sessions where the womans are playing.

It should be. Don't you normally win the Christmas ones?
