"I've literally won two of the last four majors you wally": Luke Humphries claps back after being told his prime has 'been and gone'
PDC
Luke Humphries was defeated 6-1 in the final of Night Eight in the Premier League Darts. Afterwards had to wrangle with a fan on Facebook who accused the World No.1 of being past his prime and that he will fall down the rankings when he loses the World No.1 spot.
The fan in question wrote on Facebook group All things darts: "Humphries prime has truly been and gone, when he loses World Number One spot I reckon we're gonna see him slowly but gradually fall down the rankings."
This of course was an opinion which was widely slammed including by Humphries who replied in a comment which got mixed reaction due to him being the top darting star. "I've literally won two of the last four majors you wally! Couple of bad weeks don't define you. Remember this happened last year the start of the year and look how it ended."
Despite losing to Luke Littler in just over 10 minutes in Newcastle, he still reached the final and is still second in the Premier League Darts. He is way ahead with two nightly wins with 18 points ahead of Michael van Gerwen in third with 13 points.
Gerwyn Price currently completes the top four with two nightly wins also on 12 points. Humphries won the World Masters in January and also sealed the World Championship, World Matchplay and finally Players Championship Finals in 2024. As well as the World Cup of Darts and various European Tour events.
Albeit he is under no illusion at his recent big stage struggles. “It’s frustrating for myself, I come up here feeling really good but it’s just not happening," he said in Gottingen.
“I’ve only won one big stage title this year [so far], the last few years it’s been going better than that.
“Losing in the first-round last week or two weeks ago was a little bit disappointing. I want to prove something for myself.”

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
