I noticed that. Also noticed that if its a 'big 6' team playing on a Monday or even Tuesday then the article isn't published until after they play!
This. I have an image of Crooks using some kind of random screen scrape software that looks for reported player's names and trying to stick the first eleven names it comes up with into some kind of senseless, frightening formation only otherwise used by a nine year old on their first FM save. Then he uploads it with the standard cover note of "will that do"?
Anyone who reads it needs to give their head a wobble, Anyone who gets outraged by it needs treatment.
As was evident in his comments about us playing Burnley off the pitch.
I read it for the comedy value.
I guess that's a valid reason, as is printing out the season's back catalogue to keep as emergency bog roll.
Eh ? He doesn't use anything. Some work-experience 17 year old doing 'media studies' at college who has never watched a football match writes it, it's then passed to Boggle-eyes who then proceeds to not read it

A different kind of pasty
Am I missing it on BBC Wesbite? Only Team of the Week I can find is still last weeks.

Morning Pasty, it is the latest team of the week.
The only way we could really ram this arrogant oversight from Crooksy is to absolutely leather Palace tonight and to share a ton of goals across the team.
“Hey Garth, you have a team of the week that left out hatrick Percy Tau and 2 goals Trossard? You’re a shit columnist mate.”

I always read it so I can be pointlessly outraged about the lack of Brighton players before I begin my Monday morning pooh.
Don't know why anybody places any credence on what Garth Crooks says, he's a self important tw*t of the highest order.

Silly old bat
Dunk picked this week, but then nobody cares what Garth thinks.

Dunky's the only one of our players that he's heard of. He's like some kid making Youtube predictions in his bedroom 'Brighton will lose, but I think they'll score. Either Dunk or Murray.'
I'd like to laugh at him for picking Milivojevic just because he scored a penalty, but after our game against West Brom, I think I would have too.
He clearly picked him for the goal he scored reading his summary, I doubt he even saw Dunk’s assist for Southampton’s equaliser!
Garth:
“Meanwhile, Fulham, Newcastle or Brighton are in great danger of joining my relegation certainties, Sheffield United and West Brom, in the Championship next season. The problem is I can't call it.”
Incredible analysis there. Sheff U and Brom are your relegation certainties? Wow. Really sticking your neck out there Crooksy. And he’s paid money for this cutting insight mind.

Garth's picking strategy:
Which keepers kept a clean sheet? Let's pick one of them.
Can I make a full team of defenders, midfielders and attackers out of all the goal scorers for teams which didn't lose?
- Yes - then pick them
- No - pick as many as possible and get the rest from my bag of regular top-six players.

A quote from Garth's latest team of the week regarding Jesse Lingard:
"He's doing fantastically for West Ham, but he really needs to leave out the dance celebrations if he wants us to take him seriously."
Yer Da! He really is a grade A moron isn't he?!
