What’s he meant to say just give littler the title now he’s too good! You’re forgetting after Taylor he’s been the best darter ever. Someone will knock littler off his perch at some point but mvg was consistent for over a decade
Seriously Michael you still on top? Stop with the deluded statements don't think you've won a major this year and Luke Humphreys would have something to say about this he is currently world number 1 Gary Anderson has beat you twice in majors and you got battered this week at Butlins so have a day off
Michael Smith was the “ Littler “ of 5 years ago . Humphries has been on the circuit for nearly a decade , he’s just hit a rich vein of form that could vanish at any time .
They dominate now but the competition is very strong and the purple patches will be much shorter in the future as mvg suggests the landscape will be different in 15 years and a lot less than that, 5 years even
He’s got a point though everyone thinks Littler is the next best thing but phases come and go, Look at Adrian Lewis he won 2 worlds then fizzled after a few years and that’s more than Littler has done so far
This is why,, i cant stand mvg lasst few years was my fav player for about 5 years last few years he thinks hes better then he is disrespectful to players arrogant and cocky
Poor MVG There's a 17 year old playing now who is better than he was at 17 and is better than him now.🤣🤣 MVG has had his period of domination, but it's been over a while. He is insanely jealous of Littler.
Do you expect him to say. ‘Yh I’m finished it’s up to the lukes to dominate now’ He’s elite in his profession for a reason and has the mentality to comeback from setbacks. You have the mentality that’s led you to be elite at TH-cam mediocrity
Maybe illness , and becoming a father has a little to do with that . If you can comprehend his point , he’s saying he’s had a decade at the top , Littler even though his special with unlimited potential , has only just started . As for MVG being jealous , give your head a wobble . As he says , we’ll talk in 5 years .
You say Littler buttcracks, but Littler has built a massive fan base so quickly because of how he conducts himself. There’s no salt, ego, mind games or cheating tactics. It’s just great darts and humility in his wins, with honesty and no excuses in his losses.
@ did you know in that time he had major oral surgery , and became a father for the first time ?And what does that mean , he can’t have an opinion on Littler and other opponents ?
That’s the pressure Luke littler give to all top top player in the world. MVG can say what he wants to say cause he really the best player besides of Phil. Let’s the time prove Luke Littler is the best in the planet. Remember that Luke gets 7years to break NVG youngest world champ record 😊
MvG was a great champion and undisputed number 1 for a good spell, but those days are gone. Officially he still sits just above Littler on the rankings, but most people would now rate Littler as the better player. MvG's throw looks different to how it looked when he was dominant and I doubt MvG will ever get back to his old form whilst Littler is likely to only get better. MvG's arrogance isn't serving him well when he makes a statement like that, although tbf he does praise him a bit later.
Mvg used to say all the time,, People feared him,, cause they mentioned him,, Well all he mentions is littler,… so micheals own words He most fear littler then…
There he goes again. He has no respect for others. Always talking in a negative way about opponents. And if MVG loses a game he can neveradmit his opponent was better that particular game.
Exactly, most of the other players are saying how good Littler is, and how good for the game he is. He always tears down other players rather than building them and the sport up. MVG has won it all, you would think he would be in a place where he could say how good Littler and Humphries have been for the game.
No one will dominate the sport every again. Too many good players all over the place now. Considering he hasnt one a major since premiere league 23 and a ranking major since 22. Number 3 in the world is still pretty impressive. It would be great if he could turn it on and win 1 more championship! MvG 💚
@Paulhanratty885 if they're dominating why have 3 other people won majors this year.. why have there been a ton of different people winning the pro tours, 6 different euro tour winners? 🤔
Peoples memories are fickle. Yes MvG hasn't won anything for a while. But to just say "he'll never do it again" is a bit bold. Phil Taylor is the GOAT, but MvG in his prime was unrivalled. Littler is a fantastic player and could top some of MvG's achievements. But as of yet, the greatest games of darts I've ever witnessed in terms of 123 avgs, 17 perfect darts etc. all go to this man. His A game, no one gets near, it's that simple. Numbers don't lie.
I saw MVG beat Bully Boy some years ago with the world record average - which should have been higher. Both Lukes haven't done that yet. Great battles to come!
@@Raemondo1 I wasn't saying that a high average means winning a game, just that when MVG was on-song and won his average was a record. Now, everyone is saying that the two Lukes will average 120 a game often... and that was my point. High average and losing games? Look at that young guy young, forget his name, who often gets beaten with a 110 average.
Mvg has done well for himself.. but seriously now, after the terrible year he's had, I wouldn't spout the rubbish he has. Wouldn't surprise me if he loses his 1st round in the worlds, the spotlight is not on him anymore and the two Luke's deserve everything they get, nobody else comes close to those two now and it's up to the rest to prove this wrong
to many people who only started watching darts last december think they know it all i would not put it past mvg to return to form sooner rather than later and if he does littler and humphries stand no chance against him
Yep MVG is still coming back from injuries , i would not right him off anything can happen at the worlds. Could throw a total surprise as winner it is a long tornement and you have to hold that level one dip in form nowadays and you can be out. Good luck to big Weseley as well i hope he goes far.
@@stevenbrophy5203 i'd love to see mvg back in form for the worlds but i have a feeling it might come to soon for him but i think he will be back in form for the premier league and i agree it could throw a total surprise if anderson shows up like he did in the grand slam he could go far and i wouldn't right de decker or van den bergh off either i think they could go far this year gutted whitlock wont be there always been a fan of him
Littler has had a fantastic year no doubt about that but let's not get too giddy, let's se what littler is like in 10 yrs time. It's all about consistency at the end of the day, ronnie o'sullivan been the prime example.
I think littler could go on to be the greatest ever dart player no doubt but what i was trying to say is there's a long long way to go to mention him in the same league as taylor or van gerwen yet.
This guy is utterly incapable of saying anything nice or even remotely intellectual about his opponents or even admitting that he’s been surpassed now. 🤣 The guy seems to still think he lives in 2014. 🤣 Long may his barren run continue. Cannot stand his lack of class and attitude towards his fellow players. Luke Littler is 17 and he has more professionalism and nobility in his little finger than MVG has in his whole body. It’s actually embarrassing listening to a grown man talk the way he does. 🥴
It's NADA to do way being English: Littler's sheer youth and the capacity within it has ensured he's been elevated in the press and by certain pundits !!! Soy escocesa = So my view holds NO BIAS 😮

Love how salty the comments can be, good honest vintage MVG interview, loved the end bit too discussing the odds.
Taylor = goat
Undoubtedly.
Michael can’t stand to give anyone else respect letting himself down
What’s he meant to say just give littler the title now he’s too good! You’re forgetting after Taylor he’s been the best darter ever. Someone will knock littler off his perch at some point but mvg was consistent for over a decade

Great interview
This guy was better in his prime than both lukes will ever be. They wont catch him in trophies 2.
You might want to keep track of that comment. You will be disappointed. Wish we could bet now
Littler is 17. Do you think he has been playing the pdc circuit for 20 years lol. How many titles did mvg win at 17?
And this dude hasn't even got 33% of the way to Taylor
facts 🫂😎💪🏻
Seriously Michael you still on top? Stop with the deluded statements don't think you've won a major this year and Luke Humphreys would have something to say about this he is currently world number 1 Gary Anderson has beat you twice in majors and you got battered this week at Butlins so have a day off
Yeah totally agree with you he had is day I don't think he will win another world championship
He’s a winner with confidence - you need to be deluded in darts
Articulated like someone on minimum wage. Well said Craig.
MIND OF A WINNER NOT A NUMPTY.
Correct he’s never been on top 3 world titles in 20 years
Van Gerwen is finished along with Michael Smith, Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price. Littler and Humphries will dominate.
CHRIST YOU PREDICTED THE LOTTERY YET?
Until the 3 new Dutch kids come through next year .
Michael Smith was the “ Littler “ of 5 years ago . Humphries has been on the circuit for nearly a decade , he’s just hit a rich vein of form that could vanish at any time .

@@Andy-y7ysmith was never as good as littler at 17. He was arguably not even as good consistantly during his prime of about 12 months
He’s the most arrogant player ever. Humphries and Littler have something MVG will never have - and that’s class.
He’s got a point though everyone thinks Littler is the next best thing but phases come and go, Look at Adrian Lewis he won 2 worlds then fizzled after a few years and that’s more than Littler has done so far
Mvg only has 3! N he's won nothing in years. He needs to shut up
Luke Humphries is a class act on and off the board, whereas for me, MVG is not able to credit Luke Littler, in the same way
This is why,, i cant stand mvg lasst few years was my fav player for about 5 years last few years he thinks hes better then he is disrespectful to players arrogant and cocky

Have you even seen him play when he was 17? The opportunity littler has at this age is never seen.
Better than MVG who won 9 majors in 2016?
Met him in Munich, was lovely to me, but when talking about Darts... he becomes narcissistic. Great player though, dont get me wrong.
Would help if you could win a few matches to prove it then...
He doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone
@snookerstones he does if he's saying he's still the best 🤷
@@snookerstoneshe only has yo try to live up to his own hype.
MVG ON THE WIND UP PLAYING MIND GAMES AND ALL THE LITTLER BUTT CRACKS CANT STAND IT.
You say Littler buttcracks, but Littler has built a massive fan base so quickly because of how he conducts himself. There’s no salt, ego, mind games or cheating tactics. It’s just great darts and humility in his wins, with honesty and no excuses in his losses.
Maybe he should quit the mind games and get on the practice board. He's no Phil Taylor
Why is deeney there 🙄
I opened my toolbox from the van and he was in there this morning, he gets where water can't, bloody everywhere
Better than the small fella in the middle who doesn’t even appear to know what darts is
Cerebral Genius Of Course
😃
Littler has already proven he is more naturally talented, regardless of whether he wins what MVG has or not.
I’m with MVG on the Littler hype , sure he’s a special talent , with unlimited potential , but blimey give him a chance to walk through the door man .
He's kicked the door down already
MVG hasn’t won a TV major in more than two years. He changed his throwing grip.
@ did you know in that time he had major oral surgery , and became a father for the first time ?And what does that mean , he can’t have an opinion on Littler and other opponents ?

MVG was great for a handful of years, but has been a shell of himself in recent years. The Lukes are the future of darts!
All the fanboys were saying van Gerwen is the greatest, just a few years ago 😂
I’m bored of the Littler hype as well.. He’s been at the top for so long Littler could easily become another Adrian Lewis for all we know
What win 10 titles in his debut year with the PDC? Yeh ok.
MVG has changed his throwing grip. He hasn’t won a TV major in two calendar years.
Had a cigarette with Mvg once - just him and my 3 mates - I don’t even smoke just wanted to chill with him for 2 minutes
Strange comment
Does MVG smoke?
@@Gas_going_up😂
Propper fanboy.
I’m sure he was proper buzzing with some poser coughing all over with a cigarette
Littler has done more at 17 than MVG when he was 17.
