World Darts

I love that darts is still so popular, this year's finals are rocking already. Wright always manages to rise to the occasion... although I'd love to see Littler win it.

As an American who sees clips on TikTok. I will never skip a video. I love hearing, "onnnnnnnnnneeeeee hunnnnnndreeeeed EEIIIIIIGGGGGHT". Inject those 9-darters into my fucking veins.

Littler has been made to work really hard this year, so much pressure on the lad and he's still fighting through which is great to see. Averaged 103 last night in his 4-3 over Joyce.

 

Outside of Littler I think many would love to see Stephen Bunting to win it. He's become a fantastic at socials and has a naive positive innocence to him that is brilliant. Imagine the commentator saying 'Let's go Bunting Mental!' as he hits the winning darts. Would be great to see. He demolished his Last 16 opponent last night.

 

Peter Wright did fantastic to beat reigning champ Humphries but I can't see him getting past Bunting tomorrow.

I'm sorry, but you will refer to him as Mister Titanium.

Respect to Littler, when you watch him you forget he's only 17...

Littler played fantastic, didn’t miss many doubles and chose some fun checkouts as well which was entertaining.

[GazzaGarratt 11,095]

He is ridiculous and fantastic for the sport and in general how he handles himself too. He tries things that usually used to be for exhibitions but it works on this stage because its how he's been brought up and not meaning it to be from a cocky point of view.

 

Shame Bunting could only reach Semis due to the draw. For me he was the star shining just below Littler for this year's Worlds.

A few surprises in the Premier League this year. I don't know why they don't do two leagues system so they could have 16 players involved. The top 4 automatically qualify but as the other 4 spots are purely down to the PDC to decide, it feels a little off there isn't any other criteria to make it. Michael Smith had an awful year but it does seem strange not to see him in this. No Scottish player either for the first time in about 10 years with no Gary Anderson or Peter Wright.

Is it not based from world ranking?

Top 4 in the World automatically qualify. The other 4 are purely down to who the PDC thinks will do well (basically bring the crowds in and get the best atmosphere).

I can’t stand Price so I wish he was off the list.
