As me and others have said its was competitive final and Van Veen average was just short of 100 overall but in the first few sets he average was better. He has 4 or 5 ton plus finishers. 

For reason, you again are just Downplaying just how good Littler especially when he gets that momentum he is unstoppable just like Phil Taylor or Van Gerwan was. 

Great tournament with some great matches and some shocks in results

 

Littler hitting 170 finish to win the third set, how is that boring to watch RF99? 

That's was the key moment in the game and completely change the game in Littler favour and he just keep in going with no drop off in scoring or competitive 

I am definitely not downplaying how good Littler is. If you read my posts you'd see I am doing the opposite. He is so good it is making the games uncompetitive. 

Aside from an initial dodgy set, he cruised to an easy victory because he was so much better and the game was not very competitive.

Yet you got bored of watching Littler being so good and actually performing when it matters? 

The key moment that changed momentum was 170 finish in the 4th leg in the 3rd set to go 2-1 up set. That's why Littler is good cos he can produce when it matters.

Yes, because the game wasnt competitive. One player was obviously levels above and was going to and subsequently did cruise to victory.

If I am watching darts similar to football as a neutral then I dont want one overpowering force levels above the rest.

The problem with the Premier League is Van Veen could meet and beat Littler in several weeks in it, but it means very little to either player. It’s has little importance. Results  feel generally irrelevant until the finals night. It’s a glorified exhibition for selected players whose participants previously were based partly on popularity than whether they deserve to be there. 
 

20 years ago Taylor V Barney only happened on TV two or three times a year. It was an event. Nowadays it would happen every other week in the Premier League. It just loses the uniqueness. It’s a great cash cow and marketing tool for the PDC, but it’s very samey. I just can’t think of a better “format” to make it more interesting.

If you were bored watching that then probably watching Darts is for you when Littler is playing. 

Littler and Van Veen have meet 6 times before and it was 3-3 in results. 

Well I wasn't a neutral last night, I was in Luke Littler's camp and he delivered again
