I listened to both interviews and both spoke well, both have a real belief in their abilities, Am hoping for a classic of a final, close and high scoring plenty 180s and high pegouts , hopefully a 9 darter by one off them, and a 7-6 scorline.
Going to be a very interesting final, on stats you’d always point to littler but I don’t think anyone can write MVG off. I definitely think he’s still got it in him to produce a top quality performance
Was never a fan of MVG...but really warming to him. Not sure how popular he is on the Circuit but nothing wrong in backing yourself. His prediction for the Littler-Bunting Semi was spot on. He knows his stuff!! Really looking forward to tonight's Final...the World Championships at Ally Pally have been the best thing on the telly over this Christmas!😂 Back in the 80s my husband played a lot of County Darts for Kent. We remember George Noble, one of the callers, as a kid. His Dad (George Snr) owned our local pub. He held Darts Competitions every Sunday night. Also Andy Fordham had a Pub (believe in Overy St, Dartford). Darts was very big even back then. Largely thanks to the likes of Eric Bristow, Jockey Wilson, John Lowe etc. Not sure who'll win tonight. Liking watching Littler but l can't call it. Just hope it's an explosive Final...mind you for £500k for the winner, l'd give it my best shot too!😉
I think it will be down to doubles, ...both MVG and the Nuke are consistently scorers,...so doubles will be the deciding factor...hope Littler does it, it would be great for darts
Luke littler is now provisionally ranked 2ND IN THE WORLD 🌎 thats all need to know who is going to win this the bookmakrrs has had him favorite from the start of the tournament LITTLER, if he plays like he has in the last 12 months he will be lifting the trophy 🏆
If Van Gerwen plays his best he'll win, I mean do people forget how good this man is, 114 average in a semi final against Barney who averaged 109 and beat Gary Anderson with a 108 average in the final, Littler has played no one, all too easy nowadays
@iainfitzpatrick10 how long ago Was that ? Has MVG won a major this last 12 months they are same players LITTLER has played and he manages to win trophies 🏆 in 2024 how many trophies 🏆 did MVG win 2024 ?
@@stevenholden5517Remind me what happened after the last year he went without a major? ;) There’s no doubt Luke is favorite but only a fool would count the green machine out.
How many titles has Van Gerwen won? Littler won two majors Honestly, i hope the real Van Gerwen shows up, I like Littler but he's been very lucky, that smith, anderson, Van Gerwen, Barney, Lewis, Wright, Taylor have either retired or just haven't played to their usual standards
@@ghsense2626people say this as if he’s bad on doubles. He certainly doesn’t stand out on them like other players but he’s still good at finishing and he can afford to miss when he out scores everyone he plays
Still a lot of pressure . More than last year because he is now the favorite . Still a kid. We will see how he handles the pressure. I think playing against mvg gives more pressure than an aspinall who smiles at him like it’s his boyfriend
How can the interviewer even ask Michael do you think you will win ?. Every player has to think they will win or it would be pointless turning up. Really can’t wait for the Final, MVG 7 Littler 4
Well forecast by MVG and all the ingredients for a great final with both dominating their matches though I think MVG might need to find the standard he found against Callan Rydz to match Luke Littler's current form.
Don't believe a word from Michael and Luke about they are not nervous ..... Now come on Luke but it won't be easy I for one I've never wrote off Michael van gerwen the same as Ronnie O'Sullivan... Never write those guys off ..💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍🏿
All wsy thro in diff rounds I've seen every player suffer badly from pressure/nerves .this should be a good pressure. Enjoy it so many people would love to be in u r positions
3:00 "Stephen is not playing his A-Game" He wasnt far off , he average over 100 ; MVG was desperate for Stephen to win, he knows he aint beating Luke...
Its all about the Doubles, If MvG makes over 60 percent , No worries about IT. Littler is better in scoring, but should be nervous. Lot more experience should Michael bring over the line.
7-6 either way with a nine darter and a 170 checkout in the match it's gonna have everything the final we all wanted littler was 4-2 up last year and lost 5 sets on the spin let's see if he's got the minerals to get over the line this time
The only moment MvG will not be behind is if they start and the score is 0-0. From that moment on Luke will go in one straight line to his first title. Nothing MvG can do to stop him.
All that have played fatty so far have played dog 💩. Bunting was awful and him and Apsinall fist pumping Littler is 🤮. MVG is playing the best darts and will not buckle in doubles. Even if Luke loses the final it won't stop his arrogance. U see why most on tour don't like him and I have never personally met him but what he shows on stage is enough to know Luke is fake.
Why say MVG is youngest world champ? We count Taylor's 2 BDO world championships in his 16 wins. But not Deller or Bristow's wins? both who were younger than MVG when they first won it.
@petermeyer9982 MVG doesn't have the game to beat him??? If there's one player out there that has the game to beat him, it's MVG. Van Gerwen was the one breaking all these new records and setting new standards on the PDC from the age of 18. People also saying he's old or past his prime, but he's still only 35.. which is young for a darts player. Littler might win, but he won't destroy Van Gerwen like everybody keeps saying.
You guys do know that you are putting words in people's mouth. MVG never said Little will only have a sniff. He said little had a sniff and he (MVG) would like it to be that way. This is not right.
He's right. England get behind their hero's and that's how it should be. And Holland should get behind their heroes too, like MVG. But they don't . They get behind a Belgian born F1 driver in Verstappen that races for an Austrian team and claim him as their own. Shame on them. MVG is a dutch great and should be supported and celebrated there over that self-entitled, ego-driven Verstappen family. ...and by the way, Did you hear Michael predicting a 6-1 result in the fourth set? He reads the game as well as he plays it.
It's fine that you stand behind your man, it's jury weird the English are always such bad losers and are very unsportsmanlike, not the athletes; mostly the fans. Same for F1, Verstappen has a Dutch father and is Dutch; hoe about Lewis Hamilton, not very English and you don't hear anybody raising an issue. Or how about Badr Hari, Gokan Saki, Tyrone Spong, etc etc, all Dutch born and choosing to fight under different nationalities.. Crickets. I for one really appreciate MvG's career and will be rooting for him against Littler who I think has the momentum and probably will win but hopefully in a tight match.
It’s a pick um , they are both playing great darts , does youth beat experience is Luke ready for the next level who knows , whatever going to be a great contest 👍🫣
Lol MVG is so self-confident and blunt. "I've got balls of steel!" I love that 😂
That's the mind set of a winner. See it in all sports.
As arrogant as arrogant precks can be
@@BlueHopi144top 2 players to ever throw a dart so it’s warranted 😂
He got his mouth full of steel!
If his balls were that hard he would have won more than 3 world titles in 17 years
MVG predicted the final score of the littler match lol
They had only played 1 set at that point. He already knew 😂
He's a master of darts so not too surprising
@Wppsamsung2024🤦🏻

I wish you listened in grade 1, when they were teaching basic grammar.
I love how he had a quick look at the little bunting game as well like if bunting keeps missing his doubles it will be 6 - 1 too 😂
Try proofreading.
@user-vg5mung5764hgftj try being less of a wet blanket.. yaa wolly!
7-3 enough said

13:25 great answer and 100% understandable. Like a knight on a mission
I noticed his eyes teared up when he mentioned his family.
Think that's what is warming me to him
Luke will be beating this dutch melt 100%
Something about MVG says " im a big baby" but he's a beast on the board! Welcome back
@@andrewreid749 big Gouda cheese 🧀
MVG has incredible patience as the questions are shockingly banal
they always are
His answers are terrible banal!
For example: balls of steel!
And he forgot to mention:
Head full of Gouda only!

MVG has walk the talk so many times already..i think he has what it takes to neat littler.
just a few times in the past 4 years
well played mvg should be a belting final v littler
Has anyone ever asked him to say 'Yarp' before?
Lol
Naarp
9:32 would love to see van Gerwen play some darts on Mars or Jupiter 🪐
Gravity? 🤣🤣
"Balls of steel"😂
Well forecast by MVG and all the ingredients for a great final with both dominating their matches though I think MVG might need to find the standard he found against Callan Rydz to match Luke Littler's current form.
Love how mvg still gives it to the power. “Made him retire”
Age made the power retire not mvg
The peanut who said he will destroy Luke tomorrow has no sense. This kid, which he still is will be one the goat of this game
People who use "goat" can never write a correct sentence. Child's vocabulary, child's mind.
Are the questions coming from the left or the right side of the room ?
People think people forget that peak MVG outscores peak Littler. Should be a great final. Can see MVG experience giving him the edge.
Maybe so but their head to head is 6:6 - Litter is 17 MVG should have the advantage pn paper but . . .
Peak mvg is in the past. Luke is 17, he hasn’t peaked yet my guy. Never seen mvg throw a 140 set btw.
past is irrelevant
He dont like the fact a young star is rising
He was one. What's he going to say? "Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to lose." Think before you post.

@@user-vg5mung5764hgftjlol
MVG was sniffing the burning smell of Littlers darts flying ahead to that trophy..
The players need to start calling these reporters out on their dumb questions
Interesting character this Dutchman MVG, it'll be a cracking final. Gotta to watch it!
Its on the night with darts 50/50 in the final.Both are good enough to win.
Van gerwin will love the underdog status I think littler wins 7-4
Does MVG ever let the interviewers finish their questions? People say he's not arrogant , smh
Bro just predicted the score, wat a goat. He is definitely going to win.
MVG is one kool Kat😅
Don't believe a word from Michael and Luke about they are not nervous ..... Now come on Luke but it won't be easy I for one I've never wrote off Michael van gerwen the same as Ronnie O'Sullivan... Never write those guys off ..💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍🏿
Wow this is going to be epic!
I thought.MVG would win the title versus bunting, but littler played better than his previous match. I wonder which littler shows up to the final
Like listening to the Gypsy Queen
what a game
All wsy thro in diff rounds I've seen every player suffer badly from pressure/nerves .this should be a good pressure. Enjoy it so many people would love to be in u r positions

Nah MVG predicted a 6-1 aswel for Luke just by looking at his warm up throws :)
Here's the cold hard facts - the head to head is 6:6 - Littler is 17! He's living rent free in his head lol
he is locked in
you need couple of 9 darter to win the title
Yes correct. You can only win the title by getting 2 nine darters.
@@hupekyserdamn, I can only hit one
They'll both bring their A game tonight.
i admire his self confidents but reality is another thing
He’s entitled to his opinion as Littler is to his. Like everyone is 😎👍🏻
He's spot on - with the bookies he'll be the underdog but with the fans he won't be. There's a difference between dart fans and Littler fans.
let's go 4 time wc
I think it's Littler's time, finally.
Wow what a prediction that was from mvg about how bunting gonna lose 6-1
MVG has been sniffing something if he thinks he can’t be beaten
As much as i want Littler to win i think MVG will dismantle and do a number on him.
I don’t think so. It’s Luke Littler‘s world. MVG doesn’t have the game to beat Littler. There’s a new sheriff.
littler is unstoppable and MVG is past his prime
@petermeyer9982

There's literally no chance MvG can dismantle his game, if he's not at his best, it'll be the other way round.
@barkermush7147 if vam gerwyn falls behind and is under pressure he will fall apart.
The hills have eyes
I reckon it goes by on night regards form who wins . I tip Littler to win it , and prefer him to win it for the UK. PLUS HE IS THE REAL COOL HAND LUKE
Luke Littler wants the world title so badly .He will definitely win xx
"I made Taylor retire" lmao 😂😂
Littler is doing great things but until he dominates like a in form MVG Michael will be the best in my humble opinion.
The questions are shocking, same things over and over again, it must drive the players insane
been like this for 3 weeks
11.34 "Luke Litteler" - is that journalist taking the rise?
You guys do know that you are putting words in people's mouth. MVG never said Little will only have a sniff. He said little had a sniff and he (MVG) would like it to be that way. This is not right.
A sniff??????
Luke gonna hold that smell in front of you then rip it away.
too arrogant ...i hope he never wins a 4th title , beginning tomorrow by a 7-4 defeat
Im staggard mvg is only 35😮😮
quote in the title is wrong, this is not a MvG quote
Can u seriously blame Cullen from walking out of the interview? These questions are stupid to the core!
Not sure if Littler will be greater than Phil Taylor, but very likely he will easily top van Gerwen. Even if he doesn't win it this year.
MGV is too confident to beat the Nuke
Arrogant as well.
Michael Gan Verwen?
Michael van gerwyn price
I backed littler but mvg is no pushover
the man vs a boy..❤❤❤
the boy has more maturity than Schrek and by miles
These questions need to be better. If you ask boring and predictable questions, you’ll get boring and predictable answers
