Garth Crooks

So Mr Crooks thinks we are basic but Mr Souness thinks we are Barcelona truth is no one can work us out.. Long may it continue
 

Devil's advocate here but Garth is just playing the panto villain because that's how he can keep his bbc paypacket. Sky are hardly beating down his door, he cant even get on the sub bench for MOTD2 most of the time. Without fail each week he churns something out on final score or in his column that's contentious, ludicrous or just straight up goads a set of fans. It's promptly clipped, copied and then retweeted by the bbc sport twitter account. Go back and see how often they use a rant of his. It's no coincidence Garth's statements so often come in a neat little soundbite form.

Sure he looks like an idiot most of the time and gets roundly ridiculed buts that's what his bosses want. Shearer or Wright are hardly going to lower themselves to it because they have a brand to protect whereas sounding like the dick everyone loves to disagree with IS Garth's brand. The other week he was ranting that Pochettino was shit because he's not won any trophies and goading City fans saying they're "whinging because the title is going down the M56"

He's latched on to us because early on he probably realised that some of our fanbase can get particularly touchy if they feel we aren't getting enough plaudits. He'll stick at saying we're shit or giving back handed compliments because it gets more of a reaction than joining in with everyone else. We could beat Liverpool 6 nil at Anfield using overhead kicks only and he'd still call us basic at this point.

Danny Mills on the other hand is genuinely a lazy pundit and a bit of prick though.

Unbelievable. I really wanna smack this Twat.

Writing in his week 'Team of the Week' piece for BBC Sport - in which John Fleck was afforded a place after scoring both goals in Saturday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa - the former Stoke City forward claimed: "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."

Crooks concluded: "Their approach is proving to be simple but very effective. They are making the Premier League look ordinary."
 
What this reveals is that Crooks is stealing a living as a football pundit with a deserved poor reputation. Clearly in a minority within a minority, Garth has no idea it's obvious to say, he's as uninformed and as unable to recognise a good team as the very worst football commentators there's been.

The sooner he's removed and replaced, the better for football in general.

Like Lawro and Mills - too big of an ego to retract. Jenas on the other hand says he thought we would be rock bottom come Christmas but now says we are his favourite team to watch. They aren't all cunts.

That’s going to turn out bad for us. I can just feel it
 
Garth Crooks owes the mystifying longevity of his 30 year punditry career to Geoff Hurst. Inadvertently, but it's made him unsackable.

I realise that might be sound strange to those who don't know what the feck I'm talking about, but there's a youtube video if you'd like to know.

Jeans bloody loves us at the minute
 
I don't have a problem with most of the pundits but Crookes, on the rare occasions I have seen him is crap, he sits and expects everyone around him to be quite and hang on to his every word as though he is the one who everyone listens to and respects, he absolutely loves himself, I understand his house is full of mirrors so he can talk to himself, bet Christmas is really exciting at his house,feel for the family, poor buggers.

Tony, is this your car??Screenshot_20191222-195311_Google.jpg
Just wondering, as it will help some of us understand
 

I find it strange that he calls our football basic .

I'd love to challenge him to explain the detail behind his thinking, assuming that there is some.

I'm assuming he is referring to our play with the ball and basic does not describe it to me.
