positivepete Posted 9 November, 2015 Share Posted 9 November, 2015 Gareth Crooks thinks very highly of the set up at Southampton. I have sat down with him a couple of times for lengthy chats about football in general and the first thing that struck me was how different (and much better) he comes across one to one than he does on the telly.

Pilchards Posted 21 January, 2019 Share Posted 21 January, 2019 Who pays this guy to say such rubbish? Oh and no Bednarek either. Gareth Crooks on Saints right now after saying JWP was in his team of the week. ’What a transformation at Southampton, who look a very different football team from the one I saw under Mark Hughes, although I can't put my finger on why. The Saints seem to benefit from the departure of one manager and profit from the arrival of another.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 21 January, 2019 Share Posted 21 January, 2019 although I can't put my finger on why. Ha ha, Well Gareth it’s pretty obvious the guys look fitter plus they have clear instructions to follow on the pitch, Tutt Tutt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Lej Posted 21 January, 2019 Share Posted 21 January, 2019 He clearly doesn't do any research, gets numerous facts wrong, and even admits he hasn't bothered finding out why we are doing so much better now. He simply watches MOTD and that's it, just like the rest of the general public. Literally anyone who has an interest in football could do what he does. Stealing a living and knows he's untouchable. Other than that he's bang on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Wan-Bissaka ‘He was superb yet again against Newcastle. This fabulous talent has not looked back since his Premier League debut at Fulham at the start of the season. This kid is a must for Manchester United.’All our football pundits are squealing, ball-tugging cheerleaders for either United or Liverpool. Until Carrigher's obnoxious fanboying the other night, the worst example this season was Gary Neville's co-commentary stint on Everton 2-6 Tottenham. It wasn't like it was a game devoid of talking points, but Man United had just sacked Mourinho and paper talk had it that Pochettino was top of their shortlist of one to replace him. Neville spent the whole game talking only about Poch joining United. Every good thing Spurs did on the pitch was followed by effusive praise for the manager and some variation on "that's why he'd be perfect for Man United". It was absolutely pathetic, the level of distain he had for Spurs and their supporters. It was a 90 minute masturbatory ode to a team not even playing.

Mario Lemina is an Arsenal player if ever I have seen one. Lemina is wasted at St Mary’s. Sorry, Southampton fans, but you just do not have the class of player to bring the best out of this lad.
