Yeah he defo has but I think it's down to a number of factors related to being only 18. He's already won the ultimate prize and made a ton of money, so mentally that makes you less focused. He's young, got a new girlfriend and probs living life like an 18 year old should. Again, this affects your focus. I aslo see nerves creeping in, which were not there when he was more of a wild card with zero pressure.
To be at the top of any game you've got to be 100% dedicated. He's got all the talent but doesn't focus like he needs to so that he can sustain his levels. I put that down to his age and perhaps that's the right balance for now. No point getting to 30 and regretting not having a life whilst you're young.
The main thing also is that everyone has upped their levels thanks to him. He's massively improved the game imho.
Hopefully we'll see him refocus at some point. As much as I'm always rooting for him, I'm torn by the fact I enjoy seeing other great players win things.

Totally agree with everything you have said the pressure on him at times must have been immense he has achieved so much in the little time he has been playing professional darts and he has done so much to raise the game and getting people watching/playing
Hopefully if he wants too he can take sometime out and do the things 18 year old do I'm sure he still has an amazing career ahead of him

Omg how did I not know this was a thread! Been on tattle years! Thanks god to the tattler who mentioned it in the secret celebration gossip thread!

Started watching the darts just after Covid, hubby had the world championships on and I told him to “get this s**t” off. He didn’t and I gradually started asking more questions and now I’m the one who has it on all the time, players championships the lot!

Been to the premier league for 2 years (even made skys intro both years), decided against it this year with the littler hype. Went to the grand slam last year and hoping to get tickets this year!!

Well..............after leaving early in 2020 - after years of going religiously - i decided NOT to return to the Premier League in Aberdeen. 2020 was the first year they held it at the new events complex which is double the size of the previous one & it was full of absolute ROASTERS who didn't want to watch darts, just start fights & throw pints of beer (and the rest!) generally being complete see you next tuesdays.

Here i am on the eve of the event & i've just bought 2 tickets for me & my friend :ROFLMAO: 🤦‍♀️ It's walkable from my front door & the FOMO was becoming too much. Will just make sure i have plenty of drink, lunchtime start should do it LOL

Gonna go out and see if i can scope out Price in the wild :love::ROFLMAO:

Just finished the last episode really enjoyed it hope they film this year's and make another series
Agree about James Wade I've never been a fan of his I always thought he came across as a big head but he came across really well it was a surprise to hear he has a love hate relationship with the game and to hear him talk about his bi polar and adha kind of explains it I don't think he's wife was too happy when he talked about retirement was she 🤣
Loved the way mvg basically admitted he was arrogant 😅
I found the fact they have all suffered mentally with the sport quite eye opening too (apart from luke littler he always seems cool as a cucumber) I guess I'm my head I think they just turn up throw some arrows and go back to their daily lives I have a new found respect for the players now
