Luke Littler has labelled Arsenal fans as ‘bottle jobs’ while also jokingly trolling Tottenham and Chelsea ahead of his return to London.
It was at London’s Alexandra Palace where the 17-year-old burst onto the scene, with the youngster finishing as runner-up to Luke Humphries in the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship.
And the Runcorn-born star will be hoping for better luck in the capital on Thursday night in the Premier League Darts playoffs.
Manchester United fan Littler faces Michael Smith in the semi-final, with a win to see him play either Humphries or Michael van Gerwen in the final.
Ahead of Finals night, Littler – known for engaging in banter with rival fans – has given supporters of London’s biggest trio of clubs reason to give him plenty of stick.
Speaking to SPORTbible, Littler was asked whether he is expecting any jeers from the crowd following the Red Devils’ disappointing season.

To which he said: “I’m not really thinking about London.
“If there’s any Arsenal fans, they’re bottle jobs.”
He then turned his attention to Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham – who spent New Year’s Eve at the club’s stadium in James Maddison’s box.
Littler also mocked the Blues after they parted ways with boss Mauricio Pochettino after just one season.
Littler added: “Spurs, they just can’t talk. And then Chelsea have just lost their manager.
“Maybe [Crystal] Palace fans, they can say 4-0, I’ll allow that.
“But not the other three.”
Littler was then pressed as to whether he is in any position to give stick to supporters after his beloved United ended up in eighth spot – their lowest Premier League finish.
Through laughter, the teenager simply stated: “Myself I can, not the club.”
Littler is currently the second favourite behind Humphries to scoop the Premier League Darts title.
But should he emerge victorious, he would secure his first Triple Crown honour.
