Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Luke vs Luke final again.

Now that Littler is No.4, they're in the same half, so no possible final.

 

[Kelt]

Littler made that competitive thanks to completely changing his throw, but his second throw is not enough to beat an in form Humphries in a final. I bet Littler is back to his old throw next time around.

I hope he doesn't become the next snakebite and keep tinkering with his throw and darts.

That way lies madness.

 

[Kelt]

Just caught up, Littler was probably better throughout the tournament Humphries was having abit of a stinker up until the final.

The nuke didnt have the best of semi and the final he started way to slow scoring low im sure he will be back.

Fair play to Humphries though definitely raised his game when required in the final.

So whens the next tournament?

World Championship at the Ally Pally, starts Dec 15th on Sky Sports.

Talking of darting legends, who remembers Booby George's 180 celebration!

 

[Kelt]

I sincerely hope that typo was intentional

OMG, it wasn't, lmao!

Kinda wish it was now!

 

[Kelt]

Time for them to pick a different career.

 

[Kelt]

Only a week to go until the World Championship...

 

[Kelt]

Nah, it's all good!

No darts < any darts!

 

[Kelt]

Littler now being sponsored by Xbox...free consoles for life!

 

[Kelt]

Not long to go now lads...

I think Littler will win...if, big if, he doesn't have to face the other Luke.

Humpo has him in his back pocket at the moment.

 

[Kelt]

Yeh, you know it's Christmas when the World's is on!

 

[Kelt]

Almost time to get the stout out.

 

[Kelt]

Emma looking particularly tasty tonight.

 

[Kelt]

That's a sad way to start the worlds season

Sad news indeed.

 

[Kelt]

Thing about these...lesser matches, makes you appreciate just how good the top players are.

 

[Kelt]

Think it's fair to say Humps won't be losing any sleep about playing the winner of this!

 

[Kelt]

Wattimena plays this game for the sweaty hugs.

 

[Kelt]

Cracking match between Huybrechts and Barry.

 

[Kelt]

The chap who said The world dont gets better until after Xmas, I was like what the hell I'm now starting to see it

I really struggle to enjoy this early format the World championship should be the top 20-30 players imo.

I only started watching darts again after the Worlds last year on the Littler bandwagon.

Even more players next year, Barry Hearn wants those extra pay days.
