‘Sick of talking about him’ – Nathan Aspinall reacts after coming off social media following questions about darts rival
NATHAN ASPINALL has hit back after critics slammed his inclusion in the Premier League.
The competition starts in Belfast tomorrow with Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross, Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey and The Asp chosen as the eight players this year.
Nathan Aspinall has fired back at claims he should not be in the Premier League[/caption] Aspinall has had enough of speaking about Mike De Decker[/caption]Many thought Aspinall would drop out after an underwhelming 2024.
Despite making the quarter-final of the World Championships, the likes of Mike De Decker, Dave Chisnall, Damon Heta and Dimitri Van den Bergh were all tipped to replace him.
De Decker, who won the Grand Prix last year, slammed the decision as “scandalous” and “s***”.
He also claimed that Price and Aspinall did not deserve their spots, with the latter only chosen because of his fan’s favourite walk-on to Mr Brightside by The Killers.
Chisnall added fuel to the fire, saying: “It should be about the darts, and not your walk-on.”
Aspinall has now hit back ahead of Prem night one, telling Sky Sports: “I came off social media for a start. I said it recently, the only opinion that matters is the PDC’s.
“People are entitled to their opinion, people are entitled to favourites.
“But for me, the only opinions that matter are Matt Porter’s and the PDC’s and they put me in so I am in.

“I don’t need to prove anything. I am really good friends with Chizzy and it isn’t Dave who would have written that. I have no issues with Dave because he won’t have written that.
“That is a separate issue that I will deal with and I am not going to talk about Mike De Decker. I am sick of talking about Mike De Decker.”
There are just two changes to last year’s line-up as Bunting and Dobey are in for two ex-world champs Michael Smith and Peter Wright.

‘Looks like he’s about to hit a 9-darter’ – Lewis Hamilton models new Ferrari gear but fans notice ‘hideous’ issue
FANS have noticed a “hideous” issue with Ferrari’s new gear after it was modelled by Lewis Hamilton.
The British F1 star will be racing for the Italian team this year after his move from Mercedes.
Hamilton, 40, has worn the team’s new polo shirt for a photoshoot ahead of the new season.
The fans were not keen on the shirt and the logos splattered all over it.
Some had a particular issue with the HP logo that appeared to be larger than the Ferrari one.
They flooded social media with their reactions to Hamilton’s new gear.
One posted: “Looks like he’s about to hit a nine-darter.”
A second commented: “The HP logo bigger than the Ferrari logo.”
A third wrote: “Those logos make the kit look hideous.”
A fourth said: “The HP logo is bigger than anything else there. It stands out and not in a good way.”

Another added: “Sorry, Ferrari, this isn’t it.”
Hamilton has already been behind the wheel of a Ferrari but crashed during his second test run at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
But it could be a good omen as he has won titles at his two previous teams after crashing in pre-season testing.
Elsewhere, fans have been left convinced that Hamilton rival Max Verstappen will quit F1.
The speculation has come after Ford announced it would be returning to the World Endurance Championship.

‘It’s ruining the game’ – Shaun Murphy swipes at snooker gamesmanship tactic that is ‘blight on our sport’
SHAUN MURPHY has claimed that toilet breaks are “ruining the game” of snooker.
The 42-year-old has called out his fellow snooker stars for “gamesmanship” that is a “blight on our sport”.
Shaun Murphy is sick of waiting around for other players to use the toilet[/caption]Murphy, who won the Masters last month, has suggested that most toilet breaks taken in snooker these days are purely tactical and have nothing to do with needing a comfort break.
Snooker players are obviously allowed to use the bathroom when needed given how long a match can take in high-stakes tournaments.
However, the Magician thinks that the breaks are becoming more of a problem than anything.
Speaking on the onefourseven podcast, Murphy said: “Toilet breaks. We have to talk about the epidemic of toilet breaks that are spoiling snooker action.
“It is now getting ridiculous, guys. It is getting totally out of hand. It is ridiculous how many times players are leaving the arena to go to the loo.
“And here’s where it gets spicy, because most of these exits from the arena have got nothing to do with players needing to go for a wee, it’s good old fashioned gamesmanship.
“My opponent last week went to the toilet after the first frame of the match, then after the fifth frame after the interval.
“You’ve had 20-odd minutes to be ready to play. What’s going on? It’s getting ridiculous. It’s a joke.”

He continued: “Remember the old days when the BBC used to take absolute pelters for the amount of afternoon sessions that had to go off from live and onto the red button?
“I spoke to someone very high up about this and they said the biggest contributing factor was the amount of unscheduled breaks the players took.
“I think it’s ruining the game, I’ve got to be honest, I think it’s one of the biggest blights on our sport.
“I go to the theatre quite a lot, imagine if you went to see a show and 15 minutes in the lead said, ‘Sorry guys I’m just going to nip off.’
“It can’t happen in any other form of entertainment. It’s totally ridiculous!”
It would be hard to put a rule in place forbidding players from using the facilities during games, given the circumstances for which they are asking to take a break.
However, pace of play has become an issue recently with Stephen Hendry blasting that “snooker isn’t fun to watch anymore” due to slow play on the baize.

I’m allergic to WATER and 39 other substances – getting caught in rain makes me want to scrape my skin off with a knife
AN ALLERGY sufferer has revealed the list of 40 things that could KILL her and one of them makes her want to “scrape” her “skin off with a knife”.
The extreme reactions can cause her throat to dangerously swell up, break her out in hives and make it feel like “ants crawling” on her skin.
Chloe Ramsay has to inject herself twice a month just to keep her allergic response at bay[/caption] Chloe first begun experiencing an allergic response at just six months old[/caption] Even rain water can cause her to react[/caption]Chloe Ramsay, 19, faces a daily struggle after being born with a whopping list of food allergies.
There are so many she even has to use a colour-coded spreadsheet to keep track of them all.
From a near endless range of fruit off limits, Chloe recently discovered she is also allergic to water.
The “invasive” reactions have caused her anxiety and even made her “look like a drug addict”.
In order to keep the allergic response at bay, Chloe has to inject herself twice a month potentially for the rest of her life.
As a child, Chloe remembers frequent trips to hospital to be handed EpiPen’s, medication and even after going into anaphylactic shock.
Having received treatments during her childhood, Chloe no longer ends up being hospitalised from her reactions but she still continues to suffer.
New allergies frequently pop up and the severity of existing ones can change too.
The carer from Havant, Hampshire, was first diagnosed with allergies when she was just six months old.
If she was given potatoes or bananas Chloe would “go blue and pass out”.
Currently she cannot eat foods like strawberries, kiwis, fruit juices or even use scented shampoos.
And from October 2022 water started causing her to break out in hives.
Chloe explained: “With the water allergy, it just came on one day – I thought I’d used a body wash I was allergic to, but it got worse.
“Whenever I washed my hands I would get massive rashes and felt like ants crawling on my skin.
“I’ll have to be giving myself injections to treat my allergies for life.”
Despite the hospital using a “microdosing” technique to slowly train her body to not go into anaphylaxis and to reduce her severe reactions, new allergies have continued to emerge.
At one point she could not eat any fruit at all.
The “invasive” reactions such as swelling lips can be experienced alongside a “scratchy” sensation when breathing.
Later diagnosed with a pollen food syndrome, she must also avoid perfumes, scented soaps and even wood-smoked meats because of the pollen in the trees used to smoke it.
She said: “At school I used to have my own little blue band so the dinner staff knew my allergies.
“They had to make my food from scratch.
“Now I’m at university, I struggle because a lot of the social stuff is based around food and I have to constantly be checking the menu.
“It makes me quite anxious to be sitting around food that I know I can’t eat.”
She has since been diagnosed with aquagenic urticaria – an allergy to water on her skin – but luckily, drinking it caused no issues.
Chloe said: “It can be itchy and painful, like having ants crawling on your skin.
“The allergy came almost suddenly. I would be fine taking showers then one day I started itching and each time was worse.
“I changed my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, flannel, scrubber, and the water temperature – nothing helped.”
The condition worsened over time and became debilitating for her.
She said: “Once I got stuck in the rain waiting for a train and by the time I got inside, I couldn’t stop scratching – I looked like a drug addict.
“I felt like I wanted to scrape my skin off with a knife. I told even told my mum ‘I can’t do this any more’.”
Last year, she was introduced to a medication injected monthly to treat her allergies – after a medical board approved the strong drug because of her severe situation.
With the drug, her water allergy is “almost completely gone” but she still needs to be careful around perfumes and eating pollen-derived substances when on the medication.
She has to keep track of whatever foods she reacts to, and how severely, using a traffic-light colour coded system on an Excel spreadsheet.
She said: “So far, nobody has been on that injection for life.
“Apparently I’m one of the unlucky three per cent that wasn’t completely cured by it.
“I’m so unlucky – I used to get quite upset, but I just have to laugh it off now.
“I’m allergic to so many things that my parents joke ‘what will you be allergic to next, oxygen?’.”

The signs of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis + what to do
SYMPTOMS of an allergy usually occur within minutes of contact with with the offending food or trigger, but they can also come on up to one hour later.
Most allergic reactions are mild but they can also be moderate or severe.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction which can be life threatening.
In some cases, anaphylaxis symptoms lead to collapse and unconsciousness and, on rare occasions, can be fatal so it’s important to know how to recognise them and act quickly.
Mild to moderate symptoms include:
- Itchy mouth, tongue and throat
- Swelling of lips, around the eyes or face
- Red raised itchy rash (often called nettle rash, hives or urticaria)
- Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea
- Runny nose and sneezing
Severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
- Swelling of your throat and tongue
- Difficulty breathing or breathing very fast
- Difficulty swallowing, tightness in your throat or a hoarse voice
- Wheezing, coughing or noisy breathing
- Feeling tired or confused
- Feeling faint, dizzy or fainting
- Skin that feels cold to the touch
- Blue, grey or pale skin, lips or tongue – if you have brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet
Anaphylaxis and its symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency.
Follow these steps if you think you or someone you’re with is having an anaphylactic reaction:
- Use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) if you have one – instructions are included on the side of the injector.
- Call 999 for an ambulance and say that you think you’re having an anaphylactic reaction.
- Lie down – you can raise your legs, and if you’re struggling to breathe, raise your shoulders or sit up slowly (if you’re pregnant, lie on your left side).
- If you have been stung by an insect, try to remove the sting if it’s still in the skin.
- If your symptoms have not improved after 5 minutes, use a second adrenaline auto-injector.
Do not stand or walk at any time, even if you feel better.

Newcastle fans deserve a trophy and this is the year they’ll get it thanks to ‘Playstation-like’ Alexander Isak
GET THE BEERS on ice because Tyneside is set for the mother of all parties next month.
That is at least according to Newcastle legend Shay Given as he confidently declared: “This is the year!”
Shay Given (right) has backed Eddie Howe (left) to deliver a trophy at Newcastle[/caption] Newcastle are hoping Alexander Isak can fire them to Wembley[/caption]The 1955 FA Cup is the last piece of major silverware that the Magpies lifted, however, that long-wait for more is about to end with “Playstation-like” Alexander Isak firing them to glory.
Having seen them blow it several times over the past seven decades, few of the Toon Army are allowing themselves to dream just yet.
That is even despite them going into tonight’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg on home turf with a 2-0 lead over Arsenal.
Though Given, who spent 12 years as No1 at Newcastle, has no splinters in his backside as he nailed his black and white colours firmly to the cup.
He believes that after coming so close to winning it two years ago when they were beaten by Man Utd, the former Irish star insists they’ll go one better this time around.
And that is despite them losing their last two matches on home turf.
Given said: “Look, it’s been 70 years. Even if you’re a neutral fan that doesn’t even support Newcastle it must be getting to the stage where you just wish that their fans could do it.
“We’re talking about generations of fans that have just never seen it before. You know, it’s so long. It’s crazy when you think about it.
Most Read in Sport
“I just hope they can get the job done with Arsenal and then of course get to the final.
“A lot of players will have played in that final as well, which is a good thing I think, because they can use that experience to help them as well.
“So yeah, let’s go with it. This is the year, man. This is the year.”
Given is one of those that have come agonisingly close to delivering glory to the long-suffering Toon Army.
He was part of the Newcastle squad that suffered two-successive FA Cup Final defeats in the late 90s.
That side even included the club’s all-time top scorer Alan Shearer in its ranks.
But Given believes the Magpies now possess another great leading the line in Isak.
He said: “The goal against Southampton recently, if you slow it down and look at the angle and his run. His first touch made the goal, just the way he touches with his left away from the defender and then placed it in the corner. It’s nearly like PlayStation stuff.
“It was the perfect movement from a forward. We see many forwards in the Premier League and snatching at stuff when they get through on goal, he seems to go the opposite.
“He seems to just go into sort of ice cold mode in the head and everything just seems to be in slow motion for him.
“I just think he’s a real deal. I really do. There’s a lot of clubs who wish they could have him.”
As Given knows full well himself, nothing is ever straightforward when it comes to Newcastle United Football Club.
And after a 4-1 stuffing at home to Bournemouth was followed by a 2-1 loss to Fulham on Saturday, nerves are jangling that Arsenal could make it an unwanted hat-trick of setbacks at St James’.
Given, though, has other thoughts regarding the recent setbacks on Tyneside, saying: “Maybe it was the perfect tonic leading into the semi.
“The psychology of the Newcastle players and I suppose the crowd as well will be like this is not over yet and I’m sure that’s the message that Eddie will have. He was sending that straight after the game.
“You know, if Arsenal get an early goal, then it’s an anxious night, isn’t it? So there’s so much to do yet in the tie.
“Newcastle never seem to do it the easy way but to earn something like this, it’s never easy, is it? So they’ve got a lot of work still to do but they’re in a good position and have to use what they’ve done.
“I wouldn’t want to see too much of a defensive sort of job. I’d like to see Newcastle on the front foot again and try and get a goal themselves, you know, rather than trying to defend the 2-0 lead.
“You have to go with a nil nil mentality. That’s why I think that you start the game on the front foot, especially at home. The last thing the crowd and Eddie will want is a nervy start.
“There’s a big prize at stake, a place at Wembley. That’ll be all on everyone’s mind, players and fans.
“I think Eddie Howe’s teams, and credit to Eddie and his staff, that’s how he’s always went about his business, home and away.”

How 'big angel' Joelinton rescued boss after he fainted in Subway
NEWCASTLE cult hero Joelinton rescued his old boss after he fainted in Subway.
And coach Pellegrino Matarazzo still calls the Brazilian his ‘angel’.
Matarazzo was Joelinton assistant manager during the midfielder’s spell in Germany with Hoffenheim.
Recalling the scary incident, the Matarazzo revealed: “I was standing in the queue and I wasn’t feeling well.
“I tried to go over to the Coca-Cola machine to quickly get a drink.
“I realised I was about to faint, and I did faint.
“When I opened my eyes I saw Joelinton! ‘Rino, Rino, are you okay?’
“He was like a small, no a big, angel – Joelinton, what are you doing here?”
