"I watched this game and thought 'Mamma mia, we are three categories over this level! We lost but we completely dominated the game'

I do love PDC conforming to national stereotypes.  I expect he was eating pizza and retreating at the same time.

If it's stereotypes we're dealing with, I think you have to recognise that Italy is a motley collection of City States thrown together by Garibaldi (and others) in the Risorgimento of the mid-19th century.

He is no more Sicilian or Venetian than I am Scottish - and I'm not.  First and foremost, Paolo is a Roman.  He kicks ass.  (Most of the time.)

this is a bit un Paolo like, you would have thought he was still targeting 100 points.
