Saints v Pompey surely should have made the top 10. Im guessing the pundits forgot about it, due to one half of the game living in the lower reaches of the football pyramid.

Agreed.
It's a shame as I liked him as a player but now he's just embarrassing. It's not just the team of the week selections, which are almost childlike, but he seems to take himself very seriously and is also very boring! I can't understand how he stays in his role. |
This is true, the BBC and others have spent a while now getting rid of older, supposedly boring “dead wood” so why not Crooks who is widely ridiculed? |  |

Could it be because he's a person of colour? | | | |

Bolton v Wigan has been known to be a bit tasty as a derby, grounds 5 miles apart. | | | |

I looked up “why is Garth crooks still employed by the BBC” and some posts on a Brentford site say he has the BBC over a barrel due to threatening to take them to the cleaners about racism if they got rid of him. | |

Garth Crookes is an imbecile of the first order. His excuse for omitting Salisu was that "He's inconsistent and liable to make a massive error at any time." or something similar. On that basis, he couldn't pick more than half of the players in the PL and certainly should never pick De Gea, McGuire, Stones, Jones, Mings, Cash and Walker, to name a few that he has picked in recent seasons. I thought team of the week was supposed to be about this weeks performances, the dolt. Salisu was absolutely the defender of the week by just about everyone else's reckoning. |
I gave up reading his TOTW ages ago, as his selections always favoured players from the bigger clubs etc. I initially thought that he did this to get click bait reaction from fans of other clubs, but then things dawned on me.....
1. He probably doesn't watch all the games
2. He is probably putting his name to articles that someone else writes
3. He has massive bias towards certain teams and players
4. Like Lawro, he is past it
5. He is a tw@t
The biggest decider of whether a player got in his team or not, was if they scored that weekend. He would pick formations to allow him to fit in all the defenders and midfielders who scored and if there was a week when there was loads to choose from, he would go with the big clubs. Hence why the Laporte was picked over Salisu - plain and simple, a CB who scored. You have a look, that was his selection criteria when I used to read his TOTW and I'm sure it hasn't changed !!
Like Lawro's predictions, it is just one person's opinion, so who really gives a fvck what they think ? |  |

Tim - you are spot on! To me it is a reflection of just how sh!t BBC football coverage is!
The problem for me is that the BBC fails to realise that they are a bit part of the problem - be it media coverage of politics, sport etc. I think the only solution is changing the model to a subscription model and no longer pandering to lowest common denominator.
Maybe I'm just an old git! | | | |
