'I can't do right for doing wrong: I play well, I get criticised. I say the wrong thing, I get criticised. I try so hard to stick two fingers up at the keyboard warriors - why am I bothered?'

Nathan Aspinall produced an almost perfect whitewash over Ricardo Pietreczko to book his place in the quarter-finals of the World Darts Championship.

The 33-year-old dropped just two legs in a 4-0 demolition of the German, whose average of 78.46 and just two 180s told its own story.
