Superb that from both of them.

Good advert for darts.

Hitting a T18 killed Littler winning this.
That was one unlucky deflection

Great game and top drawer from both players. Enjoyed that! Must get myself back to the darts. Haven’t been since it was at the Circus Tavern!

Scary that the young kid made so many mistakes and treble-less visits, which he will iron out in the next year or two, yet still got 4 sets, nearly 6 if he finished better, in a world final. His ceiling is definitely at peak Taylor level, whether he can maintain it for two decades is the question, once money starts to flow and fame rises.

But it is the new champ’s day, he has a family, has put in the hard yards, and deserves both the money and limelight.

There seems to be so many more events than a few years ago, all around the world too. I reckon it's almost impossible to maintain such a high standard month after month, year after year now.

Another person obsessed with peoples weight! Put a pic of yourself on so we can discover how perfect you look!
Nothing to do with obsession at all, it's a simple fact that this young man risks serious changes to his health if he continues with this lifestyle. I'm nearly 69 so have been through various phases of body change in my lifetime so probably have a decent grasp of how things work.

Can see Peter Wright getting battered every week looking at that PL line-up.

Really hope he can rediscover his old form and settle on one set of ruddy darts.

Luke Littler just won his first title against MVG. What a player that lad is.

An absolute gem of a player. I just hope he looks after himself and that the PDC look after him too.

Literally all of the current roster are going to have to up their game to be able to live with him.

Look out for a huge upturn in form from Peter Wright as the year goes on. He’s showing promising signs.

Delighted for Dimi VdB last week 👍🏻

It would've been hard for Wright's form to have gotten worse, in fairness. Fingers crossed for him though, one of my favourite players.

Some incredible players floating around in the PDC at the moment, has seldom been so competitive.
