Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton)​

His penalty strike was emphatic and his performance continually upset West Ham all afternoon. The Argentine international has been in sparkling form since his return from a successful World Cup. However, West Ham look in bad shape based on this display.

This was their heaviest defeat of the season and they weren't much better in the FA Cup tie against Manchester United in midweek either. If the Hammers had beaten United it would have given them access to a quarter-final tie at home against Fulham and their fans the prospect of a possible semi-final and something to look forward to.

This latest defeat only serves to make life even more excruciating for David Moyes while hearing their fans chanting "you're getting sacked in the morning" puts the writing clearly on the wall. At least he knows where he stands.

Girth Crooked thread is a lot like the MOTD threads. I open it in the vain hope that they will contain some measure of our footballing genius.

But ever am I disappointed that the fat tw@t and jug eared prat give us due acknowledgement rather than how crap the other team are.

But still, I live in hope.

Or fantasyland.

 

[The Mole]

How predictable… have to pick a Brighton player because they scored four… and let’s choose the world cup winner

on another matter he chose Allison because he had nothing to do!!

 

[pb21]

I’d also add that I doubt he watched the match…probably about three minutes of highlights if that

Also, not convinced he has been in sparkling form since the WC, has he watched any matches?

What a pathetic piece of 'journalism' that is!

 

[The Optimist]

You can almost make the entire XI out of Albion players this week.

Liverpool beat Man Utd 7-0 and not a single one of their forwards makes the team of the week?

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

The man is a f***ing clown.
It's a mystery to me how he manages to keep stealing a living from the BBC.

 

[The Optimist]

I thought it seemed unprofessional for him to be saying Chelsea should sack Potter in such direct terms.

 

[brighton_tom]

This is meant to be an article about the best players in the league, an opportunity to praise someone, the soul purpose of this article is to analyse why someone was good, and STILL its all about how bad the opposition were.

 

[Motogull]

The prat has overlooked that the round of fixtures has not finished. There's a game tonight.

I give up.

'The Argentine international has been in sparkling form since his return from a successful World Cup.'

He really hasn't, Garth...

Is Salah not a forward, then?

The whole column is unprofessional week in week out, shirley?

Assuming Steele, Webster and Ferguson weren't available choices

I think it's his raison d'etre (oooh posh phrase on a Monday morning)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bien sûre.

 

[5Ways Gull]

How can he publish his team of the week when the week isn't over? I'd be pissed of if I was a Fulham or Brentford fan who took any notice of his nonsensical drivel.

 

[Bombardier]

I put that comment in a BBC HYS chat a a while ago and received a snotty email. I then complained to official sources and was threatened with a full removal. I touched a nerve.
Crook's is merely stealing a living and always has been.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

His job is to select a random team of big 6 players on a Sunday afternoon with a token other team player or two thrown in. He nails it pretty much every week and keeps the plastics happily returning to the BBC website.

If it really was his job to select the best possible team he would have been sacked a long, long time ago.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Absolute tit. How can he give it to Alisson in goal. He made a cock up not dissimilar to the one that got Sanchez dropped although just about got away with it. Beggars belief. Hammers keeper probably deserves it more after that stop from Enciso.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I think it speaks volumes that his role within the BBC is limited to this fiasco of blindfolded darts (and maybe he does the channel's equivalent to Soccer Saturday, I'm not sure?) as opposed to an actual pundit for games. Even if you agree with the choices, the feature almost always features content that has nothing to do player in questions (Ali Mac's one is the latest line of Albion players alone to have that), which makes no sense. I think the Trossard one the other day was similar.

Surely there are better candidates for the job. And if it's ghost-written, that's even worse! I know there have been big cutbacks at the BBC, but surely there must be someone a bit more qualified than him/them?

 

[The Optimist]

Is Salah not a forward, then?

I was commenting on another poster’s suggested team of the week that included only Brighton forwards.
