Considering the controversy regarding Littler's inclusion in the league, he's certainly showing everyone else how it's done!

Wright is in shocking form still.

I see Cross beat MVG in the quarters, and then Humphries in the semi's to get the final against Littler, yet only now has an outside chance of making the top 4 and play-offs.

Wright has had a couple of good QF matches where he has lost out narrowly but at other times has been very poor, Rob Cross was on great form at the start faded and is coming back strong, he and Nathan Aspinall seem to be able to win without having the higher 110+ averages. Michael Smith generally good throughout, MVG great start and then poor and now really having to scrap and fight to gain additional points, last night those outshots in the 160+ region almost hitting bull everytime must have hurt. Price has genuinely played well, but been very inconsistent in checking out, I seem to remember one match against Wright where Wright was 100% on checkout but still lost because Price wasn't giving him a chance. Either way it's clear Humpries and Littler are a class above, but not by very much and anyone can win any match on their day, well except for Wright. Littler tanking Smith 6-1 was a shock I think for everyone.

We have watched every week and agree with most of the the above. Wright has improved week on week and been unlucky in a number of games not to win. He hasn't been consistent on his scoring throughout the matches.

Littler and Humpries are head and shoulders above everyone else, and just seem to heavily out score the other players. I think there two will fight it out in the final.

That’s the correct way to go with 3 darts in your hand.

Just incase anyone was still doubting if Littler was the real deal or not !!
Unreal performance and what an absolute class act Humphries is, his reaction to LL’s 9 and then him winning, a real top gent for sure

But according to our resident expert, he can only throw pub darts!
Our resident expert appears to be a bit of a tit!

When he appeared in the World Darts I was wondering if he would be a bit of a flash in the pan. Shows I know naff all, as he has got better and better as it goes long. Defiantly wants to give the fans something to cheer about with double doubles, and unconventional finishes.

I think he put a few players noses out of joint this year, but Mardle made a good point last night. Whether they like him or not he is putting more money in their pocket as he will attract more viewers, and more sponsors.

Loving the unconventional finishes and the camera zooming in on the board waiting for the dart to land, and you then hear a thud and the camera quickly repositioning to where the dart actually landed

The camera operator and tv directors can't keep up with Littler,they zoom in on a treble they expect him to go for and he's gone elsewhere on the board lol
