What's happened to him putting 2 stoke players in  "Jese needs somewhere to play, not to mention an environment where he will be loved. The Stoke fans will bring the best out of him - all he has to do is acknowledge it and let them know he cares." link |

Why does everyone think the goal was onside? Yes, it was tight but it was still offside!

'his performance was outstanding against an Arsenal side who were denied two penalties and a perfectly good goal' IT WAS NOT A GOAL GARTH !

It beggars belief doesn't it. Thought he was supposed to be commenting on Jack but took the opportunity to come out with that drivel. He seems to argue that he doesn't like the rule and therefore will ignore it. What a moron.
What's more, why is Butland form "good news for Stoke, and even better news for England"? I'd say it was great news for both if not more for us (and not just because I couldn't give a shit about England).

Why does everyone think the goal was onside? Yes, it was tight but it was still offside! In a few days time the accepted narrative will be that he was clearly onside and it was the worst call a linesman has made this century. "Post-truth" - it's all the rage don't you know? |

Crooks - what a gormless twit. A toe is part of the foot (as in "foot"-ball) - the foot was in an indisputable offside position when the ball was played what don't you understand about it - it was close indeed (as many are) but the correct call of offside......get over it you sychophantic Gooner apologist tool...

I thought he was very generous giving us 2 players in team of the week
Not bad for a team that had just over 20% possession in a game.
I always think Garth is overly self-conscious about giving us too much praise because his job requires him to be impartial. Something many other pundits fail at spectacularly.
He's not the most articulate or insightful pundit but the criticism of him on here is way OTT imho.

Obviously you never saw him play for Stoke You are correct. The clue is in my username I don't expect his punditry to fit in with my own views every week. I just thought there might be a little bit more respect for one of our own, a local lad who has worked hard to hold down a career in national media and one who made a significant contribution to our club. His alleged lack of acknowledgment of all things Stoke has been debunked on here many, many times . |

Growing up in the shadow of the Vic. we used to play footy on the old practice pitches (the team used to leave us a couple or three Mitre casies to play with). I remember one time, I must've been about six or seven, seeing Crooks on there packing stuff into a holdall and preparing to leave. He saw us sneaking through the hole in the fence and came across for a quick kick about with us. Conna fault the chap really.

Had the strength of character and the bottle to make his way in football despite being hindered by racism. Astounding footballer. Intelligent and articulate, he was formerly the chairman of the PFA (the players union) in which position he did a lot to improve the situation of black players. Done loads for the kick it out campaign, still does. An accomplished journalist, broadcaster and pundit (yep, he maintains a sense of professional neutrality better than most - jug ears? Keown anyone?).
And oh, he didn't turn his back on us he was pushed - fell out big time with durban after being hung out to dry on the wing, handed in transfer request as situation untenable. He was disappointed to have to leave his beloved Stoke City who he spent his boyhood supporting, stood on the boothen with the rest of us.
If I've got some of that wrong, or made assumptions, whatever, can't be as bad as some of the unbelievable stuff posted on this and other threads.
And bulging eyes? Funny accent? Ffs how fucking shallow and superfuckingficial is that?? (Ok I did say jug ears actually, I'll let you off the bug eyes :/ )
We're all entitled to our opinions, so crack on I suppose, but fuckin ell its a bit weird tbh.
I'm sticking up for Garth obviously. It's more for the principle than anything. I'm sure our Garth inna losing any sleep over the oatcake forum. Though then again, who knows?

Well said People also forget that despite winning 2 FA Cup and 1 UEFA Cup winning medals with Spurs in a great team and playing for Man Utd, he still cites running out at the Victoria Ground for his debut as his greatest moment in football and cites Gordon Banks and Denis Smith as his footballing heroes. This from someone who supposedly (according the great misinformed on here) doesn't want to be associated with Stoke! He was also treated appallingly by Durban when he was our leading goalscorer. Why would you play your top scorer on the wing?!?! |

Why would you play your top scorer on the wing?!?! Cheers, you as well mate, needs saying, there's a fair few misunderstandings about. Reading up the thread, it was you gave me the idea of (ahem) jug ears and keown and people moaning about them not being neutral, it's a good point. Plus Garth does say good things about us anyway... like what he says about his first match, says it all. And the look on his face as he stared up at the boothen end that day said more than words, I remember it well. And good question; modern managers get proper wingers, like Fuller, Diouf! ... good question though. |
