Steve Archibald > Garth Crooks

 

[Stanthemanfan]

To be fair he praised our 2nd half and said we deserved a point but then went on about Chelsea's young team havin to grow up

 

[Blade in Cordoba]

He’s one of the dinosaurs who refuse to accept that anyone outside of the top 6 or 7 should be allowed in the top division. He’s also one of those southern cunts who look down their noses at anything outside London.
Fuck off Crooks, you ceased to be relevant about 25 years ago.

^ This, this and thrice this.
Another lazy spaffmong bleeding the beeb dry.
Pundit privileges revoked.

 

[Tom Bott]

My worry is we seem to be struggling worse than Norwich, who have not spent a bean!

Not according to the league table.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Garth Crooks is a 3 O Level Stokie who found a way to put a plum in his mouth

 

[Paulus]

Whatever you're thinking about Crooks, there're a number of posters at the top of the thread who seem to agree with him - better off having some belief in the team rather than putting the boot in the second the going gets tough.

 

[DI36O]

So we've got Crooks, Mills, Durham and Nicol. Any other twats showing themselves up in the media?

 

[The Hobott]

He and 'teeth & tits' Alex Scott should stick to 'Strictly'.

I like teeth and tits. Tits more than teeth.

 

[bigbirdblade]

Alex Scott was pretty complimentary to us to be far

Add Tony Gayle, he criticised every end to every attacking move we had. It was clear that Robbo should’ve been much more clinical, final decisions were wrong and yes we missed somethings.

However, our build up play was excellent throughout. We played some beautiful balls into the strikers in the channels and overloaded them when they were backing off. He didn’t mention that, just shit shot.

Contrast that with Chelsea, he was fawning over Will.i.an’s ability to run with the ball, never really knocked their decisions...

It was all about Chelsea and Lampard.

 

[Old Programme seller]

Garth Crooks only likes the top teams because as it goes they win more and therefore makes his predictions look good as for a footballing man he has no relevance because he adds nothing to the table that a fantasy league manager does because he’s running on previous seasons statistics, easy money punditry.

 

[metalblade]

The only team to make goals today was Sheffield United unfortunately all four of them.

 

[10-0 win]

spot on

Chelsea lucky to escape as Sheffield United leave with only a draw

Chelsea 2-2 Sheffield United: Frank Lampard’s side were fortunate to take even a point despite Abraham’s double after failing to cope with the visitor’s second-half onslaught

Was he the guy on Bein Sports? I didn't think he was that bad.

He was on the American stream I watched - NBC?

 

[FinchleyBlade]

tbf based on the first half he did have a point!

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Liverpool blade]

It made me laugh listening to crooks having to eat his words when we equalised.
His views on football are just so prehistoric in general.
He couldn’t bring himself to say anything nice about us and just kept harping on about Chelsea and lampard being a work in progress. He’s just a bellend.

 

[trevorhockey]

What a cunt crooks is utb frank this frank that chelsea this lol love it

 

[KeyffSmyff]

I thought Tony Galyle was OK as well. I like the fact he calls us Sheffield, because there is only one team in Sheffield.

And he called us 'Sheffield' at every opportunity. Prick.

I don't.

 

[BritishSteel]

Why exactly do wee need to listen to the opinion of someone who last played a football match nearly 30 years ago ?

It`s like asking Woolworth`s for retail advice.

 

[SwissBlade]

Ha ha yeah I ignored that as he didn’t call us big physical Sheffield

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Believe it or not, Crooks was once used by my employer to provide staff with an “inspirational” talk. I recall losing count of how many times he mentioned he was black (surely the only reason he is on tv). He was absolutely thick and made no sense at all. He’s not changed.

Bell end.

The day I take any notice of what that useless tosser says is the day I pack up watching Utd,a fucking know nowt past his sell by date wanker........

 

[MightyBlades]

Good player in his day, but has always been an awful pundit.

The only reason he has a job these days is so that the BBC can up their black/inclusive/minority quota. Simple as!

As an organization, the BBC are really starting to fucking grate with me. Their left-leaning political bias stinks to high heaven! Political neutrality my arse!

Another southern wanker who refuses to acknowledge that actually there are some talented teams and managers outside the traditional 'heavyweights'. Its almost as though its a god given right for these teams to finish in the top 6 and everyone else should be grateful that they are allowed to breath the same air.
I would fucking love for one of the 'big' London clubs to slide down the league like Sunderland, Portsmouth (us!) and teeter on the brink of going bust.
Makes my piss stink.

Because the BBC is obsessed with box-ticking?

The last time it nearly happened (West Ham), The Establishment wouldn't let it happen. Gifted them a new stadium as well, to keep us Northern oiks in our place.

He’s a fucking clown
