"All over 7-4 but well done Littler, may have lost this time around but he may be emerging as the next big thing in darts. Go home son with your head held high, have a kebab or 3!"

Humphries has shown great character in this and shown why he is the world number one. It seems like everyone wants Litler to win. What ever happens its been a great final.

Could be a big turning point that. Fatty one dart away from 5-2 but bottles it and it's now 4-3. Come on Mr Humphries.

"""The kid looks rattled as well?"" Must of had a sneaky kebab (with Mayo) on the sly as hes back to being the ice man when it comes to nerves."

"Good start by Luke Humphries there. At least he actually looks like a sports person unlike the lard arse, fat northern cսnt he's playing. Hopefully it will be a 7-0 white wash."

Yeah! Let's see him handle giving a POWERPOINT presentation! THAT takes real skill and a proper education.

Have heard a lot of sportsmen say they suffered more from nerves when they were older and understood the consequences of what they were doing and what could happen. At 16 people are bit like Rooney when he started for Everton. Just think they are better than everyone else and its just fun. That said I suspect the kid was born in a pub and has only left it to pick up a kebab

As mentioned. It's the incredible nerve (or lack of nerves) and maturity he shows for his age. Just no inkling of the pressure of what he's doing. And darts is one of those games where a lot of it is pressure and nerves and in the mind. Kid was playing at 18 months. Absolute prodigy. And if it were chess instead of darts there would be a lot less snobbery about it. And maybe he has evolved the game a little bit with the way he plays the 19s and 18s. You wondered where it could go from MVG et al. Maybe this is it. Be very interesting to see if he's a flash in the pan or the dominant force for the next 5-10 years. He could smash Taylor's records if this is his standard. By the way Rob Cross was really classy in defeat yesterday. Will he feel the pressure today? Who knows. It'll be a cracking final. Humphries is playing lights out as well. Bizarre to have two almost unknowns in the final.

"I agree with everything Manuel said there, but this: ""It's also not just talent it's how he handles the pressure"" ...is particularly pertinent. I would turn to jelly in his position and I'm almost twice his age (*cough*)"
