O/T Luke Littler wins World Darts Championship again

I don't think he was hiting set averages like they're have been in recent years.

I was shopping today during the afternoon session so didn't see it, sounds like Cullen wasn't happy with the way Mensur played against him?

Gerwyn Price is out!

Beaten by Wesley Plaisier.

Jonny Clayton remains as the Welsh number one.

Ding Dong Price gone

It serves Price right for being way too arrogant when he said the other day "I'm winning it."

Littler and Humphries can say that because they can back it up, he can't.

To nobody's surprise, Littler will be back after Christmas.

He had a bad first set but Davies didn't take advantage.

Littler wins 3-0 and will play Mensur Suljovic after Christmas.

Love how Litler was deliberately trying to leave himself 170 finishes

I'm devastated about Price. I fancied him this year; he's been ticking along nicely.

Two more upsets today.

Nijman beaten by Clemens.

Wade beaten by Evans in an epic match - game of the tournament so far.

What a match that was. Got to.love Ricky Evans. Proper character.
Very natural players. You'd never tell him to change the way his plays as it works for him but you'd also never coach someone to play like that

I watch him and think it's madness how he throws that quick, but like you say it works for him. Wayne Mardle said a few months ago that Evans tried in practice to throw slower and he struggled so he's obviously better sticking to that way.

Humphries is the big name in tonight's session. He's up against the legend that is Paul Lim.

Then tomorrow is the last day before the Christmas break.

Would love to see Lim win it. What a lovely story that would be. Cant see it and also to keep it competitive would be better if Humpries won. He also seems like a really nice bloke too

I've felt sorry for Humphries. He was world champion and world number one for a while but everyone was talking about Littler (for obvious reasons).

Agree about Lim, the bloke is a legend. Hope this isn't his last WC but it could well be, a great man.

It's just the Luke Litler story now isn't it? Lol

He's just total box office. Like O'sullivan is in snooker

I guess the difference is that Ronnie is clearly the best ever in snooker, even Hendry says that.

Yet to be proven if Littler is better than Taylor.

Don't think he has to match Taylor's titles to prove it because it's more competitive now, but getting to double figures would confirm it.

I do think Littler will get his second this year.

Agee. Don't think he'll match Taylor but mainly because of how good the standard these days.

For me Ronnie in snooker is as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Pele are to football, probably better.

I don't know whether we will ever see anyone as good as Ronnie. You never know though.
For me snooker and golf are probably the 2 most technically difficult sports to master. So for Ronnie to be aa good as he is means that in my opinion he is the only player that can truly be called a genius

Trust me no one will beat Taylor’s record,the amount of young talent coming through is absolutely incredible and with the ever increasing popularity of darts it’s here to stay.

Some decent games on paper today for the last day before the Christmas break.

Afternoon session:


Jonny Tata v Ryan Meikle

Daryl Gurney v Callan Rydz

Jermaine Wattimena v Scott Williams

Peter Wright v Arno Merk



Evening session:

Danny Noppert v Justin Hood

Gary Anderson v Connor Scutt

Michael Van Gerwen v William O'Connor

Josh Rock v Joe Comito

Very good line ups today. Looking forward to that

I think I'd have beaten Peter Wright there!! That was a hard watch. Well done Merk

I often wonder how long Wright will keep going, he's been on a downward spiral for a while now.

A possibility that him and Michael Smith will be out of the top 32 after this tournament.

Also wouldn't shock me if MVG loses tonight, he's another that's going backwards. Has the odd good tournament these days but that's it.

Noppert v Hood.

Wow.

What a match.

Gary Anderson rolling back the years tonight with a 105 average.

Brilliant to see.

Very sad to see Peter Wright playing as poorly as he did tonight. Of of the games greats.

Fantastic match Noppert vs Wood. Can't ask much more than that for entertainment.

Lovely to see Anderson back to his best. Got to love old Gary.

Happy that MVG is through. Keeps things interesting

Also brilliant to have Wayne Mardle back with us after what happend to his wife last year. Comes across as a throughly decent bloke.
Also he's looking better now than he did when he was playing !

That completes the pre-Christmas part of the tournament.

Quarter One

Luke Littler v Mensur Suljovic

Damon Heta v Rob Cross

Andrew Gilding v Luke Woodhouse

What a match to open Round Three.

Ratajski beats Plaisier 4-3.

Gilding v Woodhouse up next.

Woodhouse beats Gilding 4-1. Not the highest quality game.

Clayton v Zonneveld is the last game of the afternoon session.

Clayton wins 4-3 in another brilliant match.

He'll play Harrysson or Pietreczko, who play tonight.
