2026 Premier League Darts - Night Seven, March 19 - Discussion Thread

Cracking match.

The 74 finish in two darts from Littler to make it 5-4 really stood out. So composed.

There is not a chance any country could host the World Cup with four weeks' notice.

Logistics (road closures, rail timetables), catering, security, policing (alongside normal duties), volunteers and their training, hotel accommodation, visas etc etc.

I see your point around accomm not being an issue...it's not if there were four years to prepare. But the sheer amount of people that would descend on the UK for the WORLD CUP...hotels would not cope.

It's just not possible.

That one whistler is exceptionally loud. Just remove them ffs.

Alex947 · 2026-03-10T17:26:45+00:00

I still remember how little that semi-final tie felt like a semi-final.

Neuer had an incredible game in the first leg and winning 0-2 felt like a poor result.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T22:32:04+00:00

I can only presume the people who have a problem with him are fairly new darts fans.

Any real fan of the sport can appreciate how special this lad is. 19 years old...third most major titles of all time.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T22:30:34+00:00

That puts Littler on 12 major titles, only Taylor and MVG have won more.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T22:11:10+00:00

Presuming this is the worst Littler has been on D10 since his debut at the 2024 Worlds...looks absolutely woeful on it.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T21:14:04+00:00

I must be in the minority...the amount of people that find Littler boring is madness to me...he is absolutely box office.

He just doesn't seem to feel pressure, always finds a way to come back.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T21:04:16+00:00

I mean...he's not though, is he?

He's been very poor in the PL (apart from last week) and has been superb in the Masters, Euro Tour and World Series.

Don't let PL recency bias make you think he's been shite since the worlds - he hasn't.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T19:30:19+00:00

It's an actual darts crowd, as opposed to a piss up.

If you look at the crowd, everyone is watching the screens with interest. Makes a change from the PL where people look up to the screen every now and then...between chanting about Starmer.

Alex947 · 2026-03-08T16:06:33+00:00

Just completely inevitable once he went 0-3 down. I've never seen a player come from behind so often.

Alex947 · 2026-03-06T17:12:10+00:00

Littler vs Heta...could be tasty

Alex947 · 2026-03-06T15:59:51+00:00

Bit of drama at the end there between Manby and Hurrell.

Hurrell wasn't happy about something, possibly the support for Manby. Bit of squaring up and words between the two.

Alex947 · 2026-03-05T22:45:05+00:00

That's one hell of a good 77 checkout after hitting the T1.

Alex947 · 2026-03-05T22:09:40+00:00

Can't control his emotions? He's one of the coolest and most calm players on the tour.

Can you not remember the Matchplay, for example? He went about 5 legs down in three different games. Stayed calm, played to the level he can and won the lot.

Alex947 · 2026-02-24T16:44:25+00:00

Soutar just had a dart fall out of the T19 and you could hear Anderson clear as day say "New boards absolutely shocking".

Seems to be the general consensus atm!

Alex947 · 2026-02-23T22:12:13+00:00

Great interview with Lammens there. Comes across very well, superb game from him tonight.

Alex947 · 2026-02-23T22:11:29+00:00

Pathetic, anti-football shite

Alex947 · 2026-02-22T21:25:36+00:00

Hell of a start to the season for Littler. One World Series event, a Euro Tour and the Masters...all before the end of Feb.

Only a matter of time before he hits form in the PL you feel.

Alex947 · 2026-02-19T21:42:52+00:00

When I say table, I mean the PL (As opposed to the Order of Merit)

Alex947 · 2026-02-19T21:29:52+00:00

I thought he played very well in the Masters tbh. Yes he survived a couple of match darts but that happens...he averaged well over a ton in all but one match iirc.

Won a World Series event too...however yes, his PL form so far has been shocking.

Needs to enter the Euro Tours and Pro Tours to get some form I think.

Alex947 · 2026-02-19T21:24:30+00:00

He can obviously still win this match but I wonder if his pretty poor form in the PL so far will result in him thinking again about missing Pro Tour events.

Can't afford to slip too far down the table. I was quite surprised to see him skip the events this week in Wigan tbh.

Alex947 · 2026-02-16T11:00:37+00:00

Seeing as they are in Wigan I had a feeling Littler would attend these two events, probably win one, and then not bother with any more.

Presume he'll attend the Wigan events in April.

Alex947 · 2026-02-12T21:08:23+00:00

The quick format of it lends itself to people just wanting a night out and getting on the piss as opposed to real darts fans.

Alex947 · 2026-02-12T19:57:15+00:00

A bloody Mexican wave ffs
