Definitely deserved that. Great standard final.

Imagine being 16 and having a couple thousands pissed farts chanting your name like you’re the most important person in their life. What a sport
Cracking final.
Strong vibes of this:
And the hairy chest being on full view. Rapey
He comes across as very far from a wanker as far as I can see anyway.
He seems more like super boring snooker club guy, which isn't a brand of person that it is easy to get behind, even if he is quite inoffensive.
Ballon Dart ffs
Be careful mentioning Balloons when Mahow is in the thread. He gets all excited.
I'm fine with "ballon's" though.
What are those weird cage things around the boards at Luke Littler's club? Are they automatic scoring things?
3.71m viewers. Luke Littler is a bigger draw than John Cena.
I do laugh when I see all the stuff about how much this is going to 'do for the game of darts'. Like, what could it do? Will bowling alleys start being converted to darts warehouses with sixty oches laid out in bright colours, stuffed to the brim with children's parties? Pubs are closing hand over fist and no communal spaces are replacing them, the game of darts is doomed, just like all similar such sports. This is just a thing people latched onto during the post Christmas hangover because there was nothing else going on, and Littler is a giant child freak, the sort which has always attracted crowds since the days of Ripley's.
He's been included in the Darts Premier League too. Lads minted before he reaches 17.
Not a flash in the pan then
Just fired in a casual 170 to go ahead of Price in the semis too
Doug Barrowman putting in a call as we speak to help the kid out with his tax affairs.
Littler v MVG final now
Got a bit scrappy at the end there but fair play.
Those 3 misses at tops could have been fatal.
I never click a dodgy link here because Baz, is this on telly?
Littler doing his thing again tonight. Quarter vs Humphries went down to the last darts of the 11th leg. Other quarters on ITV3 now with Littler vs Price the first semi a bit later. Could be a good ride.
Ok, Littler is 16. I can just about buy that.
But Bunting is 38?
This guy?
38?
Fuck off.
Look at those youthful cheeks.
He's looking both good and terrible here, anyway.
9 darter in the final Littler. One of the best finals I’ve ever seen
Littler's definitely special isn't he? Whether we want to admit it or not.
People make all the comparisons to when Rooney first arrived in the Premier League, and you can see why.
Nobody has come into the darts scene so young, with such self belief, natural ability and the mental strength to compete against the established players.
van Gerwen is the youngest ever darts player to win a major title at 23 yrs. Littler has 6 years to beat that......

lol, what a twat.
I think Littler might be the greatest there will be. Wait until he starts drinking alcohol, it’s over for the competition.
Doesn’t even practice
Master of the jinx.
All the 'greatest ever' calls are pretty bold in a sport where there is a SIXTEEN TIME world champion who has really only just retired, so you can't even put it down to olden days. Surely it's almost certain that Littler will absolutely not be the greatest ever.
Littler has probably what 30/35 years at the top to go though so he has a decent chance.
As for Taylor he was he without a doubt the best darts player ever(and a nonce) but the standard is much higher now than when he was in his pomp and there are generally 7/8 players who could win the world title when he was at his best it was him and maybe 1/2 who could actually beat him.
Littler’s talent is above when MVG came roaring back into the scene looking like a leukaemia victim.
This Luke v Luke rivalry might go on for years and years.
Littler casually hitting another 9 darter in the PL final. Think that’s his 4th in a final this year
That was insanely good.
