Garth Crooks, football "expert"

[BlueLee]

Be very interesting to hear his opinions if it was the other way round and Big Sam had become Spurs manager

And 13th in the league when he arrived.

Garth Crooks is an utter loon, talks absolute bollocks whenever he is on the BBC, that's why they don't have him on much.

We waz 5th 2 bottom wen he arrived at the West Ham game. Unsworth was made up he arrived. He even said so.

Crooks is always on footy first so you.dont ave a clue lolz

He should focus on his diet, the boggle-eyed balloon.

You looking forward to the Champions league final ya dumb RS?

No need 4 this. Just becuase i say a winning manager iz ok.

Why defend him in. Such a way you are upsetting posters not me but I noticed a spat you were having with another poster?
If you think Sam is the way forwards then fgs look at his record with other clubs and his reputation with his bung for the England team if that's the man you want God help us - end of!

To be honest mate I don't care if it upsets other posters. I am generally nice enough and discuss things with reasoned debate, I have no problem with people having differing opinions but I will defend my own. That's normal isn't it?

As for Allardyce, do I defend him? I don't think I do really. I never wanted him and I don't want him next season either. That said he has done Ok this season with a squad that I really don't rate. I think he has done an acceptable job and my preferred endgame to all this would be for him to go at the end of the season mutually with a thanks and a handshake (and massive payoff of course...)

I do feel its all gone very unsavory. That's two wins on the bounce now where we have won and the first things I have heard/read are Allardyce must go etc. We won both games and have actually been on a decent run of form on the sly. This doesn't mean I love him or anything!

I really don't like him being called all sorts of names either (You don't do that to be fair, but many do). I think I am just a bit disappointed as I always thought we were better than that. I just find the whole situation to be horrible and very Un-Everton.

The football has been dire with the money we have spent end of!
He has to go and will go!

One of life's mysteries. Why is he still on the BBC?
He is a dinosaur who should have been put out to pasture years ago.

It has been discussed on here before - and the answer for me is the same as it's always been; affirmative action by the BBC 'back in the day'. Because he's the worst pundit by a large margin, and it takes some going to out-crap Paul Merson.

Someone hacked your account or nicked your phone @Claire_everton_rules ? Cos these posts, and a few others, are very out of your usual style and content.

I'm about as impressed with Garth Crooks punditry as I am with Big Sam's management. Not very, at best!

I have said all along he will be gone in the summer. His position is untenable regardless of anything else.

The money thing can be misleading. You can spend all the money in the world, if the players are not good then it doesn't really matter. He has spent on two players, and to be fair they have done OK so far. Walcott is exactly the type of player we should be looking at. Jury is still out on Tosun but that was a lovely finish today.

Just to clarify here, I like you Joey! Just because I disagree with some things you say doesn't mean I am against you! Your posts will generally always lead me to respond which is a good thing as this place would be very boring if we all agreed on everything wouldn't it?

"Don't look at me, I didn't say it. I know nothing about soccer, but that's the only thing I have in common with this guy" - Garth Brooks' hat.

Garth doesn’t impress me...he comes across as unintelligent

Now there's an understatement

I think she's been Sammardyced.

 

[LEONARD]

Never had a good word for our club, so no surprises here.

A nasty little s**t when he played for the Spuds, and lucky now to make a living as a pundit.

Any man that can announce his TEAM OF THE WEEK on a Monday morning, before the final Premier league game on a Monday night,is a clueless Bellend.
