The wide one has put Ali Mac in his team of the week, and yet again is asking why the Brighton player isnt playing for a big club, what is it with Crooks and his constant jibes at Brighton, he really is a a knob.

I am a supporter of the BBC and hope it can survive the current political attacks. That said, this lazy buffoon always pushes me towards the defund brigade with his every utterance.

Had this to say, following on from a Son love in (lol) errrmmm scoring and (obviously) making his weekly ‘best’ XI…
“However, Spurs won this fixture due to the referee's ineffectiveness. Almost every major decision Stuart Atwell made was wrong. Almost every major decision Stuart Attwell made was wrong. Such was the incompetence, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited has had to apologise to Brighton for Attwell missing the foul on Kaoru Mitoma by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but what about the shirt pull by Clement Lenglet on Lewis Dunk? Of course, the PGMOL will blame it on VAR but the technology is there only to assist the referee, not to take charge of the fixture.”
It was so bad, he literally wrote it twice… let’s have it again:
Almost every decision Stuart Atwell made WAS WRONG.
For once… it’s not a bad summary.

This week's researcher on work experience should go far!
Sutton can seem a bit fly, but he's generally spot on when it comes to football (and indeed batting away the sniggering twattery from the man of brown).

Having selected Enciso in his team of the week, here is Garth's astute analysis of his performance.
About the Albion
How come Brighton can find talent at a fraction of the price Chelsea pay and still produce better results? All credit to Brighton - they have three mini-superstars in the midst. Kaoru Mitoma is having a magnificent season, Evan Ferguson is a sensational prospect and now...
About the player selected
...Julio Enciso, the 19-year-old from Paraguay who ripped the heart out of Chelsea with a magnificent strike.
About 'the big club' opposition
Chelsea could complain about this fixture being played on Saturday and not Sunday because of their midweek Champions League fixture with Real Madrid, but I wouldn't advise it. They have enough international players to field three teams. Graham Potter and Frank Lampard's failure to handle the resources available to them is telling. The ability to rotate the squad while competing for European glory and keeping pace with domestic matters at the same time is key to the success for any manager at a big club. There is no doubt the defeat in Madrid took its toll, but Chelsea have the resources to cope with that.

B-right-on
Living the dream
Oh what a surprise. The Girthed One watches a highlight reel on MOTD and see's a great strike, notices the scoreline and in a fit of incredible insight and investigate journalism, selects said Brighton player.
Nothing about Dunk who was MOM, Caicedo who bossed the midfield and stopped everything their over rated millionaire players could throw at us or any of our other outstanding players.

Give the fat guy a break, FFS! He's got a difficult job to do (i.e. persuading the BBC to publish his twaddle week after week - and pay him for it). Could you or I get a gig like that, and keep it? I doubt it! I would if I could!
.......and at the end of the day, the poor tubbiness probably only gets a few thousand £ anyway. Keeps him off the streets with a sleeping bag and a bottle of Merrydown!

What an idiot! Given they are playing the return leg against Madrid on Tuesday, I think they would have complained a hell of a lot more if the game had been played on Sunday
Nothing about the player he selected!!
We have more than 3 mini-superstars!
However, I’m surprised that Garth gave us two sentences in that section when surely he had more to say about Chelsea?

È quello che è
Well...he makes a comment about us constantly finding good young talent as if it's a complete revelation, what rock has he been hiding under? In fairness to Chelsea I didn't see anything about them complaining about the timing of the fixture, but maybe I missed it. Does he think Leeds and Liverpool are playing such dross none of their players could possibly get into to TOTW?
I am worried that I agree with his rant this week re Robertson and the lino but he doesn't go far enough, no mention of an 8 game ban for Robertson!

Call me psychic but I happened to guess our only player selected would be Enciso.

The guy is absolutely clueless. He put De Gea in this week after Forest had zero shots on target .....

Surely, Kepa would have been a better choice. Could not do anything about the two he let in, but made some good saves to stop the score being truly embarrassing
