James Maddison tells Tottenham fan to 'shut up' over World Darts Championship trip

James Maddison has clapped back at a Tottenham fan who questioned his trip to Alexandra Palace to watch the darts after Sunday's draw with Wolves. Spurs conceded in the 87th minute to draw 2-2 with relegation-threatened Wolves on another difficult afternoon for Ange Postecoglou & Co., which left the club sitting in 11th place in the Premier League heading into 2025.
Postecoglou has given the squad Monday and Tuesday off ahead of the visit of Newcastle at the weekend, confirming to reporters: "It was always planned. We kind of knew this is the first week where we don't have a midweek game, so I think the whole group probably needs a couple of days just to get away from everything and recover.
"It's been fairly intense for a real small core group of players, particularly over the last four or five weeks and I think it'll do them good to have a couple of days to themselves, with their families, and give them a chance to recover mentally as much as physically.".
Maddison and Johnson took the opportunity to join the thousands at Ally Pally for a thrilling Sunday evening of action, which saw world no1, and top seed, Luke Humphries knocked out by veteran Peter Wright. The official Instagram account of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) posted a photo of Maddison and Johnson at Ally Pally in the hours after the loss to Wolves, and some Spurs fans took exception.
