    Thank god I won't be subjected to watching this awful competition when it resumes shortly with crap coverage from Ch5 and Itv4.

    A competition that gives teams another chance who have failed to compete against europe's elite disgraceful I say.

    Thursday evenings are all about Premier League darts oneeee hundredddd and eightyyyy!

    It'll be plenty interesting if and when Saints are involved.

    I say 'if' because Saints may just bypass the Europa League on their way to the Champions League. :D

    Its not an awful competition - how can it be with fixtures like Ajax v Manchester United. Admittedly its a bit of a one off as United usually progress to the KO stages of champions leage but its still a great tie. There are other really good teams in there - Man City are in there and also Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Porto

    Probably a bit of both. It's probably more fun for us, anyway. ;)

    The Darts is incredibly overrated. As is Nandos, which every footballer obsesses with.

    Well to be classed as the 3rd highest viewing figures with SKY "SPORTS" I think you will find it is a sport.

    Why do you think it isn't?

    Maybe he thinks there is no skill involved in it a bit like if you played football without a keeper.

    Whilst taking penalties by yourself that is.

    I like darts. I watched both versions of the World Championship, and it has to be said. The BDO fans still respect the players, when they are throwing, but the PDC crowd have descended into very boorish ways.

    Because it's an edible part of a plant which grows in the ground.

    There is skill involved, and I know this because I'm crap at it. I debate its legitimacy as a sport because it's about as exciting as a turnip.

    The BDO standard is very poor though but still ok to watch if no other darts is on!

    Players in the PDC still hit 180's and take out big finishes even when being booed that takes some doing with everyone against you I love it!!

    Well cricket is classed as a sport as is snooker we best get rid of them as well then if excitement counts!
