Is Garth Crooks the most annoying pundit EVER

[Publius Ovidius]

He can't even speak English with the correct inflection. He makes Robert Peston sound like the Queen

Get off my screen you bufoon

 

[Ninja Elephant]

He's still better than Claridge.

 

[Trigger]

I find Andy Townsend REALLY F**king annoying!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Garth Crooks is just weird. Self-important windbag asking faux-intellectual questions to thick millionaires that neither understand nor care.

 

[goldstone]

He's right up there among the most annoying of all time.

What possible reason is there why he keeps his job?

I used to work for the Beeb briefly. About the only thing you can get sacked for is skipping paying your TV licence. Fact.

.....and f*** RIGHT OFF Claridge

......and relax

This.

Yep crooks is the most annoying by a country mile IMO.

 

[beorhthelm]

yes, very annoying. Claridge is a bit man in the pub view, i dont find him annoying just a bit unnecessary.

Andy Townsend is just a cock of a pundit.

Adebayor in the world cup was by far the worst pundit given the fact you couldn't understand what he was saying.

I view Crooks as a modern day Stuart Hall.

 

[grummitts gloves]

Crooks attempts to make himself look and sound intelligent, but isn't. Claridge and Lawrenson are just dull. Neither of them look or sound like as if they are really interested. Hansen just loves himself. Shearer is ok. Jeff and the boys on Soccer Saturday are probably the most entertaining. Just a shame Rodney Marsh got the boot.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

bit racist like.....

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

cant stand him

 

[Beach Hut]

I find Andy Townsend REALLY F**king annoying!

So do I he is a complete fuckwit

 

[Publius Ovidius]

bit racist like.....

what is?

 

[Durlston]

Garth Crooks just doesn't bring much to the table with his insight. I'm sure the BBC could find someone better although he seems like a nice bloke.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Yes he is. He does make me turn the tv over.

Whilst I agree with most of what you say, you've really let yourself down with the 'Shearer is ok' line. Alan Shearer is probably the least insightful, most ill informed (no one knows who Hatem Ben Arfa is...) and thoroughly bland pundits I've ever seen. The worst thing about him is that it truly represents a complete dumbing down - he is not on Match of the Day because he has anything worthwhile to say, he is on there because he is a 'name'. Rubbish.
