PIC 1: GETTY IMAGES, Wade worry after missed doubles.

Hopes of the play-offs

James Wade wants to turn the disappointment that he had to enjour during the World Championships into success at the upcoming Premier League due to start in 3 weeks. The 8-time major champion spoke to the blogging website darts.tv and spoke about the 5-1 thrashing to Anderson and the recent new deal that ‘The Machine’ has recently signed with Unicorn Darts.

He said “Losing badly to Gary Anderson in the World Championship was a huge disappointment, because I simply didn’t turn up for the biggest match of the year,”

“But that defeat will spur me on. I have the Premier League in my sights.

“I know it will be tough because it is arguably the most competitive field ever assembled with the top 10 in the world taking part, but I am good enough to reach the play-offs.

“Unicorn has provided me with superb darts to do my job. Now it is up to me to repay them with more big TV titles.

“The dream of being World Champion drives me on. I have a big year coming up.”

Bristow Influence

The Aldershot ace has been having mentoring by non other than the five times World Champion Eric Bristow. ‘The crafty cockney’ according to Wade has been boosting his mentality both on and off the oche.

The Machine added:

“Eric is great, He doesn’t muck about. He tells it how it is and the partnership works for me. 

“My scoring power is appreciably better and the words of wisdom mean a great deal. I now have to put it all into practice consistently in tournament play.”

“Eric is great,” added Wade. “He doesn’t muck about. He tells it how it is and the partnership works for me. 

“My scoring power is appreciably better and the words of wisdom mean a great deal. I now have to put it all into practice consistently in tournament play.”
