I CAN'T SPAKE. I CAN'T SPAKE.

Feels like I've been waiting for this day for half my life. So proud of my boy! It's hard to explain to those who don't watch darts all year round just how many agonising disappointments this man has gone through to get to this point. Given that to my mind he is probably one of the top 3 most naturally talented darts players to ever live, his career, while still very good, has been a series of calamitous near misses which unfortunately came to define him and weigh upon him. Many of us always said that if he finally got over the line in a big one, as he did in the grand slam two months ago, the floodgates would open.

Well... here comes the flood.

I couldn't work out why he was saying Spake unless he was joking saying it jokingly because he couldn't Speak out of shock . Still a weird thing to say.

that’s simple: it’s because he couldn’t spake.
