Garth Crooks' Team of the Week

[Chris in London]

You could play that same card with mental health.

Until I know for a fact that the state of his head and gut aren't purely down to decades of overindulgence by both himself and the BBC, then I'm inclined to call him a fat embarrassing ****.

The facts speak for themselves.

If you wrote the shite he comes out with you'd be embarrassed. Anyone would.
You'd be even more embarrassed to be paid for delivering that shite. Anyone would.
The fact that he is paid large amounts of public money to produce utter bilge goes beyond humiliation, to the point where he obviously has self-loathing issues.

This clearly results in an excess of comfort eating.

I repeat: calling this embarrassing **** a fat embarrassing **** seems to me to be harsh.

His medical condition is that his mouth is bigger than his arse hole

There you go. My point exactly.

120 an hour plus vat I charge, which is about a third of your rate, my learned friend

Jordan Pickford: It is with some hesitation that I find myself selecting Jordan Pickford for my team of the week.

It was Pickford who put Virgil van Dijk out of the previous Merseyside derby with an awful challenge that went unpunished

Outrageous statement from Mr Crooks

It is & it's also got fuck all to do with the team of THIS week.

Imagine if that criteria was used for rags/dips players....they'd never have anyone in ever.

He [Crooks] wrote: "He survived one or two scary moments but did enough against Spurs to help seal the win and then played a major role in Liverpool's emphatic victory over Crystal Palace."

And although he did feature in the 7-0 thrashing of Palace, Matip wasn't even part of the Liverpool squad to play Tottenham through injury.

The BBC edited his comments after they were published but not before eagle-eyed fans took to Twitter.

One wrote: "I always suspected Garth Crooks didn’t really watch any of the matches and just picked players from a certain few teams that were doing well, kind of confirms my suspicions when he picks a player for his team of the week that didn’t even play."

Another added: "Garth Crooks has had a mare."

These arguments were not being advanced as alternatives. His fatness was advanced as an integral component of the description 'fat embarrassing ****.' Your point that he is fat was not presented as being severable from the accepted position that he is an embarrassing ****.

Application dismissed with costs.

It was your application!
