I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Crookes was terrible, but ripping apart his picks and bizarre explanation was an enjoyable sport.

Yet he was stealing a living.

Hmmmmmmm.

Just read the article….seems Deeney is going to play it rather bland and obvious. Bring back Garth!

I read it yesterday and thought the same. Apart from anything else, he was full of praise for what Garth did and said how well respected he was, when as far as i am aware not many took him seriously.

Garth's team of the week had cult status and was a bit of fun and, at times, it was ridiculous. This was the joy really. So, Harlaand upfront every week then.

I'll miss stuff like this. The classic formation with no midfielders whatsoever.

We will miss you Garth.
