Tazio Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Nice wee moment when he walked past his step-daughter who was standing on her own and realised and went back and gave her a wee kiss on the head. Sign of a decent bloke to remember her in the biggest moment of his life when he could be forgiven for getting wrapped up in it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam-Tart Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Humphries was left out of the Premier League after having such a dominant season in European comps, Rob Cross got the place in the World Cup alongside Michael Smith last year, rightly Humphries got his head down and has played phenomenal darts all year, pure determination has got him to No.1 in the world and now World Champion. Hats off to the laddie he's earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think Littler's already there, can't see Hearn's or the PDC ignoring the media frenzy over Littler or the fact he's a top notch darts player, him playing I think would almost certainly increase viewing figures and that means money and that's what it's all about for them.

He's proved at 16 he can live with the best, and sure at 16 going into the Premier League could be detrimental to his darts career, but I very much doubt it, quite the opposite tbh. Not only will it give SKY & the PDC more viewers & money, but will also give Littler the exposure to advance his career up to another level, he I believe before the World's was ranked around the 190's He's now ranked No.32 in the world, that's some jump. Him playing in the Premier League benefits all involved and keeps him in the public eye. If he's offered a wild card I can't see him refusing.

Worked when he was an up and comer as it got him attention and what not. But now he is a 2 time world champ in his 50's and well established, it seems a bit naff.

You have to wonder how the schedule - PL/Pro Tour/Euro Tour (potentially) will work out for Littler. Sky and PDC will see him as a money making enterprise they couldn't afford not to cash in on you'd have to presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that Wright has only dropped to no. 8 in order of merit. Given he was defending £500k from his WC win. European Championship win in Oct must've gained him decent points. Some major changes in the order of merit post WC. Littler and Williams inside top 32. Guys like Mervyn King and Ian White just about managing to remain inside the top 64. Very much has the feeling of a changing of the guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don't see him going for A school when he eventually loses his card. White seems to have went totally off the boil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
