What a great night's darts.

How you can enjoy watching football when darts is there. I just can't understand.

Darts is by far the best sporting specticle on planet Earth right now. It's not even an argument.

You just keep enjoying getting annoyed at Var whilst I enjoy true competitive sport.

New years day

Four World championships quater finals.

There's no better entertainment on the planet tomorrow (technically today)

Be there, or be square.

16 year old Luke Littler is out there representing England. Go on young man!

Fabulous thus far !!

Luke Littler on now .. he had a nervous start but has settled quickly


Asking the crowd if they wanted him to go for the bullseye to win the set was audacious !!

He looks older than 16...and a pretty mature beard and hair growth for a 16 year old.

He had a beard at 13 !!

Maybe spending all that time growing up in pubs and bars has accelerated his growth


That said he’s gonna have to watch his weight / lifestyle over the coming years imho

I’m adopting Luke Littler as a local lad as he’s from Warrington which is only about 20 likes away

For the second year running we will have an English champion.

England are back on top of the darts world.

Humphries takes the last semi-final spot

So tomorrow's semi-finals are...

Rob Cross vs Luke Littler
Scott Williams vs Luke Humphries

Good chance we'll have an all Luke final. But which one of them will have "the force?"

Humphries is the even money favourite

But that's probably due to him having the easier looking semi-final on paper.

If the two Luke's win, then Littler may go favourite again for the final.

Humphries was the favourite at the start of the tournament.

Rob Cross is on it. This should be a better.

Cross takes the first set 3-2. No brakes of throw yet.

Cross got the first break but Littler broke back straight away.

It's 1 set all.

Cross is really firing at this kid and putting him under big pressure. So far he has the answers.

Littler will be happy all square so far. Cross has been slightly the better player but Littler has gears that nobody else has.

Littler gets the break and takes set 3

This kid is amazing.

One of the greatest players I've ever seen and he's 16

Even if he doesn't win this year. He's gonna win many titles.

He's just taken out a beautiful 149 like shelling peas. With Cross sat on a double break.

Rob Cross is playing at peak and he's now 3-1 down and applauding Littler for his brilliance.

Will the way Littler throws his darts slanted not hamper him over time ?

It’s got to be better for the darts to go in true / straight ?
