@@MrFirefoxI just listen to littler live on the radio just now, he said he has 30 years to win the worlds, he is happy with what he has won and wouldn't swap all that to become world champion tonight. I don't think he cares what the media thinks or say.
Yeah it was MVG , Phil Taylor was unbeatable until MVG came around , Phil Taylor just couldn't get the beating of him like all of the other players , MVG broke though from this moment then when he did everyone else knew Taylor was beatable.
@peterruff5810 MVG definitely took over from Phil. But Phil was still in his early 50's when MVG started taking over. The age gap, plus the amount of years playing takes it toll. PDC schedule is too insane for older players. Just a sign of the times.
@@stuartkane2786 Taylor was still in his prime when MVG finished him. It's a shame that MVG is now out of his prime so if Littler takes over he has done it while MVG is out of his prime so he couldn't do what MVG done to Phil.
Taylor got to the world final in his late 50’s won the matchplay that year he retired because he was exhausted and he was still beating you when he was at the end !!
Phil taylor was 53 in 2013 when MVG really burst on the scene. Taylor beat him in the final as an old man. Taylor played in 25 world championship tournaments, winning 16 of them and making 19 finals MVG has now played in 18 and won 3. They can not and will never be compared.
Taylor retired after losing to Rob Cross in the final and planned to retire. He also won the World match play so hardly went out on low. MGV everyone thinks they have a chance against him now. Could have his arse handed to him on a plate tonight.
7 finals and 9 semi finals that's 16 out of 18 he's been in the semis or final. Wouldn't call that underachieving even for mvg. He lost to quality players in a lot of then plus so far he's played 6 finals and won 3 that's a great return
@ ok then lets not mess around, 3 titles In 18 attempts is a severe underachievement. Forget finals and semis they are meaningless it’s the same as going out in the first round you’ve lost either way.
@@MrSimonson You go from saying "a bit of an underachievement" to "its a severe underachievement" LOL..... You know you're a monster when winning more PDC world titles than anyone not named Phil Taylor is "a severe underachievement."
@ aww man I hate having to deal with idiots 🙈 I’ll educate you so to begin with I was discussing his overall world championship record wins, finals, semis etc and that for mvg has been a bit of an underachievement. However only winning it 3 times out of 18 attempts for mvg considering how much else he has won is a severe underachievement. But let me get this straight it’s an underachievement for MVG because of his talent and record in other tournaments. For anyone else it would be outstanding. I hope this helps 👍
Mvg is still young enough and competitive enough to play out his skin for 12 months and win every major on offer … don’t ever write Michael van gerwen off …. I’m not his biggest fan but what I have is huge respect for what his done and what the man is capable of … mvg is very much a huge threat to anyone on the tour card holder roster
Littler vs Rydz should have been the final. Who still listens to this muppet? The amount of disrespect towards other players was unreal these past 3 weeks. And now claiming he made the GOAT retire, GTFO.
He didn’t make Taylor retire, Taylor battered him in his last World Matchplay. Taylor won a major at the age of 56/57, got to another World Final in January 2018. MvG won’t be achieving anything close to what Taylor did and won’t be winning majors in his late 50s, perhaps he knows this so he says this nonsense to make himself feel better that he won’t achieve his potential in the game with Littler around now and the likes Humphries. If Taylor said he made someone retire, people would be critical of Taylor, so it shouldn’t be different when MvG says it.
When your MVG losing in 9 semi finals is under achieving, let's face it Anderson has won 2 titles back to back lewis the same Anderson only plays for fun. This game is massive for MVG....MVG should have won a lot more. Phil Taylor taught him a lesson in 2013 at the tail end of his career. its not been a good year for MVG and this final will be one way traffic......
Getting baton and battle confused here , understandably as English is not his first language, but for the journo to say that it’s like telling someone to retire ! Nice one , MVG should have told him to piss off.
He is right , before MVG was there was a 1 man show Phil Taylor. Phil taylor played muppets for 30 years. Mickey mouse competition back then . Now the quality and level is much higher by far more dartplayers. The PDC has grown. They also should play wold finals in other country s. Nicer for non english dart players who playing against english dart player + 90 % english public , amen
The power was a legend Mvg was a quality player. Head and and shoulder above the rest.. Luke the nuke is fantastic but lets see in a few years time... atm hes Brilliant. Long live the nuke.
MVG didn't make Taylor retire. Taylor achieved more and was a better player than MVG will ever be. You should think about retiring yourself if you believe that you were the reason for Phil Taylor retiring because Luke Littler and Luke Humphreys have your measure.
16 World titles Michael. You’ve got 3 and just got your arse handed to you in the final by a 17 year old kid. The Nuke will have 3 titles before you ever had yours.
MVG believes his own nonsense, Taylor retired when he decided he was ready not because of you. It wasn’t you in his last world final, it was Cross who played fantastic to beat him in his last worlds. So stop rewriting history! Silly boy. 😂😂😂
And this is why littler a 17 year old battered him lol,made Phil Taylor retire nothing to do with he was bloody old and bored shitless of dominating darts for 20 years lol,
He's up his own ass! He didn't make phil Taylor retire, an considering he has played in 18 only to win 3 he's not exactly standing out is he! Anderson has won it multiple times an so have others! He's no where near the phil Taylor standard an now here's luke littler who's gonna crap all over your legacy
English press are going to ruin littler, just let the lads play darts.
All that hes accomplished in barely a year, winning this world title is just a bonus, he shouldnt be afraid to lose.

Tbf he's Dutch hard to know when they are being serious. His smile makes me think he wasn't
Phil was still playing pro in his late 50's. Father time made him retire, not mvg 😂.

They both talk too much crap
Up until Taylor retired he still had a winning record against mvg, and that wasn't history wins against mvg

MVG has now played in 18 and won 3. They can not and will never be compared.
phil taylor retired because hes already tired of the sport..mvg can never beat taylors dart accomplishment
😂😂😂😂 you made Taylor retire is that why at the matchplay in 2017 he absolutely smashed you jog on mvg
Taylor also won 6 of their last 9 matches in 2016/2017 when MvG was at his very peak. Made him retire my arse, it was old age which did that.
@ exactly the guys delusional
Taylor made you cry mate
One of the best moments in darts
Van gerwen making Taylor retire is one of the worst sports takes by a professional athlete of all time
I hate mvg even more after this comment
Dont know why people are getting pressed, its just good humor
Taylor was battering ya towards the end
You can smile like that after 16 world titles
MVG's first World final, MvG bottled a 2-0 set lead to lose 7-4.
Littler is going to rip you a new one egg 😂😂😂

To which he did 😂

You didn't make him retire time did 😭

Taylor retired at 58. MVG is only 35 and already passing the torch lol…..
MVG has come a long way since being chained up in a basement in The Goonies.
MVG had only brief moments at the very top. No comparison at all to Phil.
MVG didn't make Taylor retire. Taylor achieved more and was a better player than MVG will ever be. You should think about retiring yourself if you believe that you were the reason for Phil Taylor retiring because Luke Littler and Luke Humphreys have your measure.
I can see why hes so unpopular- classless comment about the greatest player that ever picked up a set of arrows
You are all taking this far too seriously
Calm down gents, he’s out 🎣 and you all swallowed the hook.
Phil retired because players like MVG brought in disrespect and hate and he didn't want to be like them.
I wanna see MVG as Pennywise in the next IT movie.
I like littler but English mecia doing their thing. Up MVG i guess💪
16 World titles Michael. You’ve got 3 and just got your arse handed to you in the final by a 17 year old kid.
