It's stopping him from being elite. It's cool to be a good sport but it costs him his concentration at times and then he loses.

Why do you love a loser 😂

Stopfordian’s rule the sporting world 😉

Good for you aspinall fan

Will go down as one of the best personalities in darts. Class

The Asp is pure class, always celebrating his opponents when they do well and an incredible player himself. Credit to Littler for trying to shush the boos, I know he's got a huge following but the lad remains so humble.

​@@powermaulerStanding with your back turned to your opponent that just beat ya is not humble at all. I hope he is working on that because I love watchin the kid play.

Get ur facts right at least, thats not what happened. @@I3AcKP4cK

@@I3AcKP4cK True, Littler is a sore loser atm, but he is also just 17 and teenagers can easily be classy when thing go well but unhinged when it does not. I think both Heta and another guys that beat him, gave him a talking to about it, so eventually he should learn that he can't win every time.

@@powermauler hard to find in any sport nowadays

I love how his goes from Littlers best friend and life mentor to "match mode" so visually, like you can see it so clearly.

Innit was crazy

What would picachu have thought if he done it against him

oh please...its the darts we all want to see...let it happen gods of darts..let it happen.@@shauntaylor9251

​@@shauntaylor9251He would have evolved into Raichu and Electrocuted Littler

I had to skip back and watch it again 👌

Absolute tart, have to be ruthless in sport that’s why he’ll always be the bridesmaid

@@MrLewbaahNo reason you can’t show your opponent respect. And anyone else you speak to tbf.

@@MrLewbaah Ruthless in terms of your own play, sure. Doesn't mean you can't still cheer on everyone else.

​@@MrLewbaah watch the end of the 2019 Wimbledon final. Federer better player all game and should have won, yet you can see a genuine smile on his face at the end. Undisputed greatest grass court player of all time but still happy for his opponent when he wins. Unfortunately most people aren't like Asp and Federer, but there are a few of us who can feel genuine happiness for some else's success.

Totally agree, a true gentleman.

Like 2 mates playing down the pub together egging each other on wanting to do well 💯

Have the same management team

I don't know. I wonder if he'd be even better if he was more stable and kept his head still.

Couldn't agree more breath of fresh air for darts

It's mad how the younger talents are doing so far. Seeing price so low is also so unpredictable!

The table doesn't lie the top 3 are in that order for a reason.

@@martinlaird9712the points each have one is the reason.

Crazy 😧 that price is so low on 7 points that unheard of. Hate is match attitude, but whatta lovely guy.

@@gooders8855 fair point

This was a phenomenal final and what great showmanship.These 2 are going to get become good...but surely Litler is the new Phil Taylor

He wasn't "thrown in", its not like he was a wild card or something, and it was some mad decision or gamble, he EARNED his place by reaching the World final! Didn't just drop out the sky like! 🤦‍♂️

@@tallpaul7130 reaching a world final isn't in an of itself worthy of a premier league place, especially given his age. Many players have been chewed up by playing in it. He's still a kid let's remember, however talented. Many people within darts were questioning whether it was the right decision

​@@tallpaul7130 this isn't true.

@@tallpaul7130 He quite literally was a wild card, since he is not part of the top 4 in the Order of Merit. Reaching a world championship final does not earn you a premier league spot right away (Kerk Shepherd for example), and I can guarantee you they will have talked about this with Luke beforehand, since the premier league has burnt out a fair amount of players. If it was a good decision or not remains to be seen. Yes, he has won the world youth championship before his appearance in the final of the world darts championship, and he was always going to be a contender for a spot, but giving a spot to a seventeen-year-old is still a big thing that should not be taken lightly. It puts a lot of stress on him, whether or not he can handle that, maybe even likes it, or if it does harm in the long run, is yet to be seen.

​@@tallpaul7130The PDC hand World Championship runner-up Luke Littler one of four wildcard spots for the 2024 Premier League. Chris Dobey believed to be the one who missed out. This was reported on the 4th January

Some of the crowd were booing Asp at the end though on his doubles.

Nathan is awesome like that, when Luke got the Bull-25-bull he smiled big and went up for a low 5. Sport doesn't get much better than that IMO.

lollll

Should have had price and wright😂😂😂

@@user-lo5qm5tu8mthat's a good add on. 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣👌

😂😂 didn’t realise that

whos pikachu wtf🤣😂

@@Emzy17Do you even watch darts to ask that

Is it ?

But its always 1 of the 2 in the thumbnail who in the end wins. So when Luke Litler won u can already tell he won it all :(

Аналогичная ситуация в России: уровень снукера и дартса никакой.

Same in Canada. Not one sports channel covers darts or ever shows any highlights.

Yes, we know, but i wouldn't call darts a sport, it's just an over-hyped pub game.

Why were you all booing Asp at the end?

​@@matmul4850Probably wanting Luke to win the night

​@@matmul4850 as if 1 guy can speak on behalf of 9000 😂 flip me

Littler is on the thumbnail so it is spoiler...

Just needs to work on the sore-losing. But I guess as long as he keeps winning he won’t have to worry about that Happy for the young lad

Dont wanna call u out but just last week u said hes not in the top 4 anymore hes not good enough. Make ur mind up mate.

@@yusufluhar5881 I hold my hands up mate he's well and truly proved me wrong

Every game with him in it seems like a final, a big deal

@@yusufluhar5881 Not sure why UKposts removed my comment but I originally said I hold my hands up and admit I was wrong

They could win it for many years if they keep playing at that level. A SMITH - Humphries pair should be lethal in May or June .

NED > ENG

@BlueHopi144 Would rather see Humphries/Littler. Smith great to watch but blows hot and cold

I think he is the new Phil Taylor...what a Legend Litler allready is at this young age

Keep Aspinall right along with them. All 3 of them are just great for the game and entertainment. Amazing night of darts

@@lefty9419 Aspinall needs to take the Humphries route in my opinion and become more ruthless and locked in on stage. He's too friendly and then he loses concentration. Just my opinion.

Everyone said the same about Gerwen v Taylor 10-12 years ago, then came Ando, Wright&Price to the oche and rocked their places on it too. No one thought 3 years ago that every single bit of victory would be a lifeline for Wright, yet here we are. I think it's unwise to make preconceptions that long of time.

@tamaskiss-polgardi4408 yeah I don't disagree mate. Even when Wright was world champion he changed darts every set that's just not sustainable imo What I admire most about Luke's (Humphries more to be fair) is that the release from H just looks so repeatable every time that his scoring will always be there Littler making some changes but he already has a pedigree about him. I do proceed with some caution with Littler because only 3 years ago everyone thought Josh Rock was going to be the next big thing and it ruined him. Humphries will dominate for a long time now I think because he's already won everything so the pressure valve is already lifted.

@@emmitttraynor8939 The pressure was off from MvG in '14 too and he was an even more clinical thrower back then than Humphries, still he had to wait three years to get back on top. Predictions like this are not really aging well in the last decade

That's good to know.

Makes a pleasant change.

Just watch it on Twitch for free lol

I know they are more friends than littler is with any other players.

'Great personalities', that's hilarious.

@@simonlevett4776 The two of them seem like genuinel lads who love darts, cheering each other on and having a laugh. You obviously have no personality which is why you can't identify one in another person ya dope

@@simonlevett4776 Work on your own personality, if you have one

​@@simonlevett4776do you do anything other than leave miserable comments?

What a big gut.

You're right, he now stops right before initiating his pulling-back motion, but it seems to work out well for him!

he said he had been slightly modifying his throw in practice .

Especially how he threw that...with such grace...Bullseye...single bull....bullseye...BAF!!!What an amazing final

It can't get any better
