What a wanker he is. (Crooks of course. Lunny is currently the new Woody/Brown.)

Namechecks Bean as well. Why not do the Full Monty, flat caps and whippets too, you dismal prick?

He would be an even bigger idiot if he refused to acknowledge where we are in the table and putting Burnley to the sword.
Maybe he will do some research in the future before writing teams off ! or maybe not !
 

I was surprised that Enda Stevens wasn't in it. He was involved in all three goals and kept a clean sheet.

Mousset was also unlucky to be excluded. Three assists in one match but Mane and King scored a goal each and got included. Mane shouldn't be in any team of the week after getting booked for diving.

Garth actually calling us impressive and had Lunny in his team of the week.. is hell freezing over??

"Lundstram: This was an impressive performance by Sheffield United. The Blades seemed to cut through Burnley like a knife through butter. While it was the performance of John Lundstram that stood out, I could have selected any number of United players on this performance. I don't know if actor Sean Bean still gets time to go and watch his cherished United, but if he does he must be loving this"

Sean Bean replies "F**K OFF Garth"
 
Garth Crooks is just giving us the same “tough love” in much the same way as Chrissie gave to Hendo.
 
So he’s including Bash on the left side of a three..
 
What boils my piss, is that my taxes pay the wages of this fucking plonker!

It’s actually sad that he’s clearly only being kept on in any capacity in the BBC to tick a box, because there’s no way he’s there for his insightful or intelligent musings of the game!
Infuriating, why can’t they just hire people and journos who are good at their jobs...send some of these ex footballers back to school to learn how to do the jobs they are employed in. Must really piss off those folk who go to uni at great expense to study but get nowhere near the big jobs.
Crooks shouldn’t be employed, simple as that. He’s a joke. He could be compared to a certain useless MP, but then the argument would be turned to race rather than their equal lack of ability, intellect, knowledge or common sense. (In fact all MPs tick those boxes, but you get my point)
 
Blimey, a bit of credit this week from our Garth. Our excellent 'midfielder' George Baldock in his team of the week.


Midfielders - George Baldock (Sheffield United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester City), Son Heung-min (Tottenham)
George Baldock, Jordan Henderson, James Maddison and Son Heung-min
George Baldock: I wasn't sure if it was George Baldock or George Best!
I thought I was seeing things when I saw Baldock drag the ball back, pirouette and strike a glorious shot past Tim Krul. The finish - not to mention the skill - was superb along with Sheffield United's performance.
Blades fans have been telling me I've been a little hard on their team recently and not giving them the credit they deserve. How many players do they expect in my team of the week?

I can answer that for him...none. I couldn't give a toss whether any Blades player ever features in his "team of the week", because he has no credibility as a pundit, so his team of the week is an irrelevance. He's brought this on himself by being lazy and not researching the team, his opinion on us was based on stereotypes formed decades ago under previous managers.

He can put all 11 of our players in his team of the week as far as I care - it means zero. What would perhaps have meant something is if he'd had the honesty to admit that he based his original assessment of us on no objective evidence at all. But he's not going to do that, because that would be an admission that he's not doing his job properly. So he's drip-feeding us little compliments here and there now - but it's too late. He's been found out for the lazy amateur pundit that he is.

Career's are short in football. They ought to be even shorter in football punditry if people can't be arsed to do their job properly.

The Pinnacle of any players career eh?

Been a little hard on them? There's a world of difference between being a bit hard to please and being downright condescending referring to us as basic.

Bang on Pal. He's stealing a living.
 
I much prefer listening to Alan Shearer, Tim Cahill and Jamie Carraher than bothering with Garth Crooks' team of the week or Lawro's predictions.

I've no doubt Lawro will have us down for a draw against Villa. Not because we're inconsistent at home, but because they are Villa, and reputation and history mean more than form, place in the table and results.

If I may, I would like to precis your post.

Garth is the end of a bell.

Does that cover everything?
 
The funniest thing is that he seems to be trying to appease the Blades for previous comments, and in doing so he has justified all the accusations of piss poor research and basic knowledge of our team. What a clown.
 
Okay Garth, hear are today's fixtures for you to consider. Manchester United vs.....

Garth: "Man Utd win."

We haven't told you who they're playing yet.

Garth: "It doesn't matter, they won everything under Fergie, so Man Utd win."

Okay, next, Burnley vs Newcastle.

Garth: "Newcastle win."

You do know Newcastle are in the relegation zone and haven't won a match in seven games? Burnley have won their last three and are undefeated in five.

Garth: "It doesn't matter, Newcastle are a massive club with a huge fanbase. Newcastle win."

You're a moron!

Garth: "Win."

What?

Garth: "Mourinho has won trophies everywhere he's gone and I used to play for Spurs. Spurs win."

I said moron, not Mourinho ffs!



You can substitute Garth with Lawro for an identical mindset.
 
Darren Fletcher irritated me after our Man Utd game as he was so biased towards them and refused to acknowledge how well we did. That said, last night on MOTD2 he made references to last season, so he's not as ill informed as I first thought.

I still miss Colin Murray and Benjamin Bloom. Two amazingly well informed, well researched, balanced and unbiased pundits.

Glad you mentioned him.

The other night he said ‘Bournemouth have received over £600m in TV money since they got promoted and I bet they’ve got two thirds of that left’.

Their wage bill for last season alone was £100m. He’s ill informed and far too stupid to get away with it.
 
BushBlade I agree entirely with you mate these pundits are allowed to spout any old shite and, expect everyone accepts it as gospel. He has a real problem with us as in 06 and last year we beat his Weeds to automatic promotion mate.
 
Latest team of the week
John Fleck: Twenty five points after 17 league games? Every time I watch Sheffield United I'm left scratching my head wondering how a team playing such basic football can be fifth in the table. Players like Chris Basham, John Lundstram and John Fleck, all of whom have now made my team of the week at some stage, are clearly the reasons why.

Apart from the fact the Blades are very difficult to beat and wear you down, like any decent puncher they can deliver a knockout blow. Their approach is proving to be simple but very effective. They are making the Premier League look ordinary.

I'm starting to think he's doing it on purpose now. 😆
