On Friday night at the Ally Pally 17 year old Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history, and he made it look easy. Given his youth, popularity and alcohol-free path to greatness, has he changed the sport forever?

We chat to long time darts fan and darts journalist for The Guardian, Jonathan Liew, about the sport's moment in the sun, darts parents, Littler's talent, the historical link between pubs and darts, the "no excuses" sport, and what's with all the double 10's?

We discover the “no reindeer suits in the press box” rule, and Murph is back from his holidays in New Zealand - did he meet any All Blacks while he was over there? Funny you should ask…

Three weeks ago we hailed the Amad-inspired win at Manchester City as the moment when Ruben Amorim truly became the manager of Manchester United. United promptly lost the next four games in a row. Today we hail another new dawn. Amorim really is getting his feet under the table now...

We also talk about the meteoric rise of a Premier League chairman of days gone by, sifting through current social media posts, AI slop and legacy media lies in search of a clear picture of the elusive Rupert Lowe.

Dion Fanning and Lars Sivertsen join us to analyse the weekend's football. We need to talk about Trent (again) obviously - but we also talk about Amorim's interesting reaction to United's much-improved performance, the latest refereeing injustices visited upon Arsenal Football Club, and just what this Savinho guy thinks he is doing out there with Erling Haaland.
