Unfortunately he's not a WUM, and he's doubling down on his opinion with a big long essay about it tooYeah the "spursy" bit makes me think WUM. That said we do have our share of idiot fans like all clubs do.

This club....Unfortunately he's not a WUM, and he's doubling down on his opinion with a big long essay about it too![]()
Would have been nice of him to turn up for 30mins at WHL before he fucked off to the darts!
Yes... I agreeGreat response tbf.
Yes... and darts is pretty harmless... that's why I like the response from MaddersRegular people have a bad day at work and go somewhere to blow off steam, why can't footballers do it? They're still human at the end of the day.
Good lad, of course he can go and enjoy the dartsMaddison snaps back at fan criticism after darts appearance
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has snapped back at a fan who branded him "unacceptable" for attending the World Darts Championships shortly after the draw with Wolves.
Just hours after Ange Postecoglou's side conceded a late Jorgen Strand Larsen equaliser in the 87th minute to make it 2-2, Maddison was spotted with team-mate Brennan Johnson at Alexandra Palace.
After images emerged of the England international watching the likes of Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright in action, one fan commented on the situation in anger.
"The form we're in and you go the darts? Unacceptable,' the fan wrote on Maddison's Instagram account.
To which the Tottenham man replied: "Shut up you wally," with a laughing emoji attached to it.

Madders is quality
We’ve got more than our fair share.Yeah the "spursy" bit makes me think WUM. That said we do have our share of idiot fans like all clubs do.
Yep. Players should hide away after a poor result/performance. Purely to save fans who have less emotional intelligence than a blancmange.Can't go out.
Can't be seen to be smiling.
Can't play 3 games per week.
Can't have a bad game.
Can't share their opinions.
They dont have a personality
Yes. Footballers get paid a lot but if some fans had it their way, players would be shells of humans.
It's not just fans though. I saw this sort of non story on my news feed this morning. It's typical of today's media. Said something along the lines of "Maddison and Johnson seen smiling at darts just hours after draw that left Ange fuming". Then you get these stupid fans who go along with it too.We've got some stupid idiots as fans in all honesty.
How dare Maddison and Johnson enjoy their free time enjoying something they have an interest in.
I can see both sides here.It's not just fans though. I saw this sort of non story on my news feed this morning. It's typical of today's media.

Perhaps Maddison (and Johnson) used the darts as an escape for one evening considering the current poor run of form?I can see both sides here.
A lot of fans are more heavily invested in a team's results than the players. For the players it's just a job, which is not to say they don't care about wins and losses - but they tend to be more pragmatic about it. Many fans don't understand that.
Conversely, many players don't understand the deep emotional impacts the teams have on fans.
Fans should not be targeting players on social media or out in public, and, honestly, Maddison should have not responded to this one. Just enjoy the darts.
Still can’t get my head around the level he was playing at before the Chelsea injury and the level he’s played at this season. Mind-boggling.
I’ve never really liked the term inconsistent as an analysis. It just fails to look at the issue or cause for the weakness.I still think he's has produced more for us this season than the vast majority of the squad. I suppose though that is what we expect of him too.
I don't buy the narrative about him not turning up in big or away games but I do think there is something in questioning his consistency.
I think that slight lack of consistency and sometimes having very quiet games at times is something that is more noticeable when he has really really good games in betweeen them.
