To avoid the crushingly boring round of TV over the Christmas period I've been watching quite a lot of the World Championship Darts. Normally when the final comes around, I'll cheer on whoever's playing Phil Taylor, he's just won too many times already - but this year will be different.
His oppponent this year is Peter Manley, so I'll have to cheer on Taylor. Manley's a good player, he hit a 3-dart average of nearly 100 in his defeat of Wayne Jones. Noticably, as he was outclassing Jones he didn't have to resort to his usual backtalk. So it's not something that's just Peter Manley, it's something he brings when he's in a tough match, as against Adrian Lewis and against Dennis Smith. Muttering and swearing to an opponent about to throw is not acceptable and not the sign of a worthy champion.
So come on the Power.
Update: Phil the Power never gave Manley a sniff and won 7-0 and a prize of £100,000.
