Sizzling Scouser Stephen Bunting insists he couldn’t care less what anyone else is doing as he’s charging along like Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

The Bullet soared into a last 16 tie of the Worlds against Luke Woodhouse with a 100 average. Bunting was given an incredible reception by his fan base and says he’ll use his Army to drive him on. Slot’s side have laser focus at the top of the English Premier League. Bunting wants to emulate as he said: “I couldn’t care less what the others are doing, to be honest with you. It’s all about me, isn’t it? The Bunting Bandwagon.

“You look at the fan base, it’s unbelievable, my social media’s just flying up and when you listen to that crowd. I was crying on the walk-on, it was that emotional, so maybe I need to rein in it a tiny bit, maybe not get so invested in the walk-on, But it’s a special place to play here in the Ally Pally.

“Listen, when you’re up on that stage, there’s no hiding, it’s a lonely place, if things don’t go right, there’s only you to blame. But when you’re up there and you’ve got 3,000, 4,000, whatever it may be in the venue all shouting your name, you know for a fact that your opponent must be hearing that and maybe it affects them.

“I literally just ride on that crest of a wave and I just kept on and I’m so happy that. Listen, the Bunting Bandwagon goes on. Coming into this tournament I’m playing the best I’ve ever played in my life, so I feel like the confidence is there. With that fan base, who knows where I can go, but I’m reaching for the top.”

Asked if others are paying to attention to him, Bunting continued: “I don’t care. If they are, then happy days, I’m doing something right, aren’t I?

“It doesn’t matter what anyone else does, it’s all about me. Same at Liverpool Football Club. Why worry about all the others because we’re 27 points ahead!”
