Episode 2831: Transfer Tittle Tattle, Young Messi V Young Littler, XGoT > XG, Rod Studd On Darts, Ken On Captains Of The World

Early January is all about recovery, regret, false promises, the darts, and of course the Premier League transfer window opening, so lean a little closer so we can whisper a few rumours and a few truths into your ears.

There’s only one Luke Littler”, but there’s only one darts world champ in 2024 and that’s cool hand Luke Humphries. We welcome Sky Sports Darts commentator Rod Studd to the show to discuss the final, Littler’s impact, and the growth of darts.

Ken gets some XG fan mail and reviews the Netflix docuseries about the 2022 World Cup, Captains Of The World.

And we compare young Messi’s diet to young Littler’s diet.
