He just beat MVG in the final as well.

Carry on like this and one of two things will happen. Either his popularity takes darts to heights it has never seen before, or it just becomes a boring parody because he'll be winning everything all the time.

Fair play to the kid. His first masters event he hits 170 out, a nine darter, and beats MVG in the final.

Got to laugh at his belly shaking, go on my son, lap it all up. Awesome.

I struggle to see him as a child but there really is something about overweight and obese children that just makes me sad.

A 16 year old shouldn't have a gut like that.

Same, it's hard to see him and believe he's 16 but give it a couple of years, few tattoos, big gold chain round his wrist and a sponsorship deal for a popular brand of tabs, and a very high chance he'll be the face of some brand of draught bitter, he'll be coasting...

Yeah, sorry, darts never left the 80s for me. I know it's changed a lot but let me be stuck here, laughing at that time the producer of Top of the Pops revealed he knew literally nothing about classic rock n roll but might be a darts fan.

Just caught up on what happened in the first night of the Premier League - those idiots whistling while opponents are throwing at doubles will ultimately turn crowds against Littler in my opinion. He’s not responsible but fans like me will want to see him lose just to shut those fuckwits up.

Well done to Bully Boy.

They seemed to be targetting the English players , other than Littler (but they would of if he'd met Price in the final)
How the security can't identify & eject the ****s is beyond me. A few players got riled by it, it's a liberty, absolute ****s anyone who does that

After many MANY years of not giving a shit about it (and trying to wrestle the remote off the old man over many a Xmas/New Year period), I have to say, I am loving the Darts. And not just me, our whole household are into it. What reignited it? Luke Littler. A 16 year old (at the time) prodigy mixing it with the big boys, stunning TV.

We have a board in the spare room which me and my boy are on for an hour a few times a week; he's yet to beat me because he refuses to practice doubles (boring apparently!), but he got his 1st 180 last night...followed by a score of 15.
Even the wife gets involved, though she is less than impressed by the holes in the spare room wall and window blind (how?!). Brilliant fun, loving it.

Yea I'm a little bit obsessed with the Premier League, the Littler love-in has reminded me how enjoyable it is.

This Thursday evening could be a pinch point in the household...

The boy will want to watch the Darts
The wife will want to watch Liverpool vs Atalanta
I will be all over the Masters :inpain:

Yup, he seems so relaxed and calm on stage and seems to rattle legs off so quickly. His scoring is unbelievable.
I think when he won his first PL night it lifted a lot of pressure in his mind. He’s now playing freely and I’ve not seen anyone play this well since peak MVG and peak Phil Taylor, Humpries is also incredible altho personally I find him really boring but at times Littler has made Humphries look distinctly average!

Final going to be epic tonight make it 3 in a row Lukey

So angry, my youngest turned 9 the other day and he’s had a plastic dart board in his room for about 18 months, decided to Amazon it and upgrade to an electric board with finer tips.
Five days in and all the tips have bent in beyond repair and keep bouncing out, should have just got him a proper board and let him put holes in his bedroom wall!
