No Stoke players in his team of the week, has he got some vendetta against us or is he just an knob?.Surely Arnie & Nzonzi should have been in it at least.

Yawn. Think I'll add to the boredom though. Garth was a young revelation who helped greatly to get us back to the top flight after the relegation in 1976. The best of a group of hone grown players, he left for Spurs where he went on to win two FA Cups and a EUFA Cup winners medals. He retired through injury with a very respectable scoring record to become the first black player to be appointed chairman of the PFA and was awarded OBE for services to football. He seems to be hated by many Stokies because, unlike every other ex player pundit who Never stop talking about their grass roots Garth doesn't. And, shock horror, only 35 years after leaving the Potteries he's lost his accent the treacherous traitor. Garth you are a legend.

Gareth was a very good player for Stoke and as stated above, why the need to slag him off? I used to enjoy watching him play, racing from our box, down the line, turn in, shoot, score.GARTH CROOOOOKS. I also lost my very hard core Potteries accent, it comes back and can be picked out amongst my mongrel tones..unlike Garth, who now works for the BBC and is a broadcaster. His voice is his job. I've not looked at his team of the week yet, but who would I put in? Maybe Arnie or nFonzie, but it's no big deal and who would these players have to replace? P.S. Was it just my view or was Garth prone to falling down to much in the rain?

A Spurs legend would that be ?, he appears to have eradicated his playing career prior to joining Spurs from his tiny mind, met him a few times when he played for Stoke at the Hope & Anchor and the Highwayman with his minder what an arrogant cock still is, Stoke gave him his break (Waddo) he seems to have forgotten what the club did for him shameful.

No he's a Stoke legend in many people eyes and has done well for himself. So because he never mentions Stoke when doing punditry or never favours Stoke that makes it shameful. As I said in my other post how many other ex-player TV pundits harp on about their root club. Yes Shearer never shuts up about Southampton and Lineker is Leicester mad. FFS he's an ex local Stokie who's made a career out of football media following a successful playing career. We should be proud of and not continually slag him off.

I don't give two thirds of a shit about Garth Crooks to be honest, but there does seem to be a discrepancy here.
Garth has aligned himself closely to Spurs. It's in his best interests, they are a big club based in the right part of the world and by hook, crook or whatever he has carved himself out a comfy little niché in the media based on what at face value is a rudimentary inderstanding of the modern game and the occassional penchant for a bit of "controversy".
Danny Higginbotham barely got a fucking sniff at United but you cannot shut him up about them now. Why? Because it's in his best interests to do so. Most people outside Stoke don't give a shit about us, a fact buoyed by our frankly dreadful lack of exposure across the popular press and media outlets.
You do what you need to in order to keep the pennies rolling in. Particularly when you have the basic materials Crooks, Higginbotham & Savage have, given their peers (Gary Neville & Jamie Carragher) are currently tearing up the pundit rulebook.
In the words of Disney's frozen, stop fucking moaning.

I've not heard any of Danny Higginbotham's recent offerings, but going back some months he was on Five-Live a few times and definitely came across as an ex-Stokie, bigging-up Shawcross and slagging Arsenal players off for how they acted against us. Maybe his conversion to ex-Man U is just to help his book sales, but I definitely got the impression his heart was with the Potters.

He's entered a different phase in his life now and will have to do what's right. Personally, i think Crooks comes in for criticism simply because he's a bit of an arse wipe. Given the sheer volume of arsewipes currently plying their trade as a pundit, his constant persecution seems harsh.

I think it's because no one can quite understand why he's on TV or what he brings to the table. In 30 years time, Preston fans will be slagging off Kevin Kilbane for the same reason.

Don't believe he has a vendetta gainst Stoke (does anyone?),that's just paranoia. Mirror has Arnie & Nzonzi in their team of the week.

Well, he was a serial diver, and that trait got much worse after he went to Spurs, that is the single (only) issue I have with him

I've lived outside Stoke for all of my adult life - do I still sound like I come from Stoke? Yes. Do you have to get rid of your accent to prosper in football punditry? No. Do you have to be a smarmy little London-centric arsewipe to get on at the beeb? Maybe.
