‘He’s right… I’m lazy’ – Luke Littler’s honest verdict after Wade criticism as world No2 crashes out of World Masters

LUKE LITTLER confessed that he is lazy after James Wade levied an accusation at his fellow darts stars.

The Nuke gave an honest verdict of himself after crashing out of the World Masters, losing 4-2 to Jonny Clayton.

Littler, 18, played well but was no match for The Ferret, who booked a meeting with Dimitri van den Bergh in the semi-final.

After the match Littler responded to claims made by Wade that darts players can be quite lazy.

He said: “I didn’t see it at the time but he’s right – I am lazy in the practice room.

“I don’t have to practice for hours and hours. You know yourself as a player when you’ve practised for that long, you are warmed up and ready to go.”

Wade actually picked out Littler as an exception to his claim, suggesting he and Luke Humphries are “amazing”.

The 2014 World Masters champion said: “I don’t believe anyone is amazing, apart from probably the Lukes (Littler and Humphries), and after that they can be quite lazy.

“They are not Phil Taylors and not Michael van Gerwens at their best, but they are phenomenal players and there are gaps in the market.”

Littler reached the quarter-final of the World Masters by thrashing Wade 4-0.

‘So terrible even Pep’s disappointed’ – Fans react to Havertz’s shocking sitter miss after Man City’s kamikaze defending

FANS joked that Pep Guardiola was disappointed after Kai Havertz’s shocking miss against his Manchester City side.

Havertz missed an absolute sitter to double Arsenal‘s lead during their Premier League clash at the Emirates.

Pep Guardiola had his head in his hands after Havertz missed the chance to put Arsenal 2-0 up against his side

Martin Odegaard punished a Man City mix-up to put Mikel Arteta’s side 1-0 up inside two minutes.

And more kamikaze defending from the Citizens saw calamity at the back just over 20 minutes later.

Stefan Ortega fed Maeteo Kovacic on the edge of his own box but Declan Rice brilliantly pressed and won the ball away from the Croatian.

A loose ball fell to Havertz in acres of space but the German international fluffed his lines after taking a touch and lining himself up.

The 25-year-old somehow rolled it wide from 15 yards, with the goal gaping and covered his face with his shirt in shame.

And fans have had a field day online.

One joked: “Even Guardiola is angry that Havertz missed the open goal!”

A second said: “Even Pep can’t believe Havertz missed that.”

A third added: “Havertz’s miss so terrible even Guardiola was disappointed 😂😂.”

Arsenal’s need for an out-and-out goalscoring striker has been well documented this season.

Arteta is desperate to bring in a forward before Monday’s deadline, after having a £60m bid for Ollie Watkins rejected by Aston Villa.

The Spaniard needs to bolster a squad that has suffered big injuries in attacking areas to the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.

Last month, Havertz was subjected to vile abuse from a selection of Arsenal fans after missing several chances in their FA Cup third round defeat to Manchester United.

Legendary Mercedes driven by five-time F1 champion sold for £42.7MILLION – more than double previous record

AN ICONIC Mercedes Formula One car has made history by doubling the record for the most expensive Grand Prix car ever sold.

The striking silver Mercedes W196 R Stromlinienwage, chassis number 00009/54, was sold for a staggering £42.7million (€52.92m) by an unnamed buyer.

One of only four complete versions ever built, it is only one of the most famous racing cars ever made having been driven by five-time F1 champion Juan Manuel Fangio and British icon Sir Stirling Moss.

Boasting a top speed of 186mph, the remarkable machine that typifies the “Silver Arrows” nickname claimed victory on its debut in 1955 at the Buenos Aires Grand Prix, but with a cigar shaped open-wheel design.

It won five more races that season to win both the driver’s and constructors’ championship.

The car was sold by RM Sotheby’s on behalf of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

The previous record for the most expensive grand prix car sold also belongs to a Fangio-driven Mercedes, the 1954 Mercedes W196 which sold at Goodwood, England for £19.6m ($29.6m) in 2013.

However, it pales in comparison to the most expensive sports car ever sold.

That title belongs to 300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, which was sold in May 2022 for £113m ($140m).

The W196 R was donated to the IMS by Mercedes in 1965, and was held for almost 60 years before being auctioned off to raise funds for the museum’s restoration efforts.

IMS curator, Jason Vansickle, said: “It’s a beautiful car, it’s a very historic car, it’s just a little bit outside our scope window.

“We’ve been fortunate to be stewards of this vehicle for nearly 60 years and it has been a great piece in the museum but with this auction and the proceeds raised, it really will allow us… to be better in the future.”

Mercedes withdrew from the motorsport in 1955 following a Le Mans 24 Hours disaster which tragically killed 84 people.

They eventually returned in 2010, where they have since won eight constructors titles and seven drivers titles – six with Lewis Hamilton and one with Nico Rosberg.

Sky customers urged to claim three perks worth over £105 that you’re already paying for including free Netflix

SKY telly comes with hundreds of channels but that’s not all you’re paying for.

There are a few easy-to-miss perks that might be included in your plan – and they could be worth over £105.

Sky has a long partnership with Netflix that includes free subscriptions[/caption]

Here’s what to look out for…

FREE NETFLIX

First up is the free Netflix perk.

It’s available if you have the Sky Essential TV package (which is £15 a month) or the Sky Ultimate TV plan (£22 a month).

You’ll also get it as part of your Sky Glass or Sky Stream plans – just boot up the app and follow the instructions to link your account.

Both of these subscriptions comes with Netflix’s Standard with Ads plan.

This usually costs £4.99 a month, working out at £59.88 over the course of a year.

It features almost all of the TV shows and movies as a regular plan, as well as unlimited access to mobile games.

As the name suggests, you’ll be shown ads while you watch telly – so prepare for some interruptions.

You can watch on two supported devices at one time, and resolution is capped at Full HD 1080p.

On top of that, you can download content on two supported devices at a time.

It’s worth noting that if you’d rather have a pricier ad-free Netflix plan, you can still upgrade by paying the price difference.

FREE DISCOVERY+

Similarly, you’ll also be able to claim a free membership to Discovery+.

Like Netflix, Discovery+ is available with both the Sky Essential TV and Sky Ultimate TV packages.

Discovery+ is packed with tens of thousands of episodes of telly.

It claims to to be the “home of real-life entertainment”, and serves up content across food, nature, animals, science, technology, and more.

With Sky, you’ll get access to the Discovery+ Basic plan.

This would normally cost you £3.99 a month, which is £47.88 if you pay over 12 months.

SKY GO

Another freebie that you might have ignored previously is Sky Go.

SKY ESSENTIAL TV VS ULTIMATE TV

Here's how the plans differ...

Sky Essential TV

Price: £15 a month (for 24 months)

  • Includes 90 free-to-air channels
  • Sky Atlantic
  • Netflix
  • Discovery+

Sky Ultimate TV

You can download the Sky Go app, sign in with your Sky account, and then enjoy live and on-demand TV.

It works over mobile internet or Wi-Fi – no need for a satellite dish.

And if you’re a Sky Mobile customer, your Sky Go viewing won’t use up your data allowance.
