I don't usually get as wound up as some over these things but I'd be genuinely interested to hear his explanation on what makes us basic and other teams not.

Equally I understand why some tipped us to struggle in the summer even though they knew little about us. That said I'd be interested to know what Frankie Boyle tribute act Steve Nicol thinks about us too at present.
 

Lord Lunny made his team of the week again! Just wtf. He's made a slight "oops I've probably been a bellend" comment at the end;

When Sheffield United got promotion, they aroused my curiosity. Sitting fifth in the table, they now have my attention.

He really does come across as a pompous prick doesn't he?

He's an irrelevant little fart who clearly has little to no talent in his field of work. If you hired the fella to do your electrics, it's a safe bet that you would be putting your frozen food into your neighbours fridgefreezer within the hour. I think the BBC must only keep him around for his pantomime villainy or out of a sense of caring in the community. Garth tries way too hard to have something interesting to say, and fails miserably - mainly because he isn't very bright.

That made me lol
 
Lundstram had the highest passing accuracy in the attacking half (92.9% - or 18 passed completed out of 22 attempted).

He’s not very good at maths either.

He's definitely setting himself up to start talking about how great we are in a few weeks time, and pretend he thought that all along.

Yeah you can just see it now:

"I've been saying for a long time now that Sheffield City are a great team, play complicated football and will definitely Win the Champions League next season"
 
Any guesses for how many Blades make his team of the week this time round?
 
He can't help himself, even in praise:

Basham: What was he doing there? Chris Basham in open play receives the ball in the box with his back to goal, flicks it over Kenny McLean's head and takes a touch before he put his effort over the bar. His reaction indicated he felt he should have put Sheffield United 2-0 up. Now, Basham is a central defender and does not have a reputation for scoring goals so I want to know what he thinks he's playing at? Basham has been outstanding this season for the Blades. I'm still not mad about their style of play but they have unbelievable spirit.

Did you know? Only James Tarkowski (81) has made more headed clearances than Basham (80) in the Premier League this season.

Oh he does at Sheffield United, there was this one last season I'm sure it didn't have much bearing on things in the end but it was against leeds United...

Retired in 1990. Before the Premier League even existed. THIRTY YEARS AGO. Has never coached or managed, as far as I can see from my brief look at his history. No actual involvement in the game for THIRTY YEARS.

If he was a mechanic in the 80’s who had jacked it in and since spent 30 years looking at cars on telly and in magazines, but hadn't actually touched one for for 30 years, would he get a job as an NVQ assessor for mechanics in 2020, based on his past motor mechanics career? Would he bollocks. He’d be considered THIRTY YEARS out of date, totally bypassed by technology/trends and completely unqualified.

So; what exactly is Garth Crooks relevance to football in 2020? What “expertise” does he have to offer? Fuck all.

Car mechanic or football pundit. He's still referring to the (Johnny) Haynes Manual.
 
"I want to know what he thinks he's playing at?"

This just proves that he has no idea of how we play, and just uses the soundbite of overlapping centre backs without understanding what Bash and JO'C are expected to do.
 
What do you get if both Steve Nicol and Garth Crooks are on a show at the same time?

Click 'Play' for the answer :)

On Garth Crook's survival hopes: "He's going to struggle. He lacks potency at the front and this style of punditry ls quite basic for the Premier League. He's going to work hard and really frustrate teams and have a go but I can't see him surviving with this quality of punditry........mm

Twice running actually. It just goes to show that an SUFC defender has to add goals to a great defensive performance to get noticed by the pseudo-erudite thunderpundit.

It's long been a running joke that a goalscoring defender will get into Garth's team of the week. At least he is consistent.
