He speculates whether larger clubs could come in for Unai, because he may become a "victim of his own success".

GlobalVillan Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Garth Crooks using his team of the week to attack Villa I see. Including only one player from a team that beat the top 2 over said week, and using that paragraph to make a snide remark belittling us. Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s an essay for someone to write in this whole fiasco. Reminds me of this: Such a relevant clip- thanks for sharing. Even if VAR has removed the point about them only taking decisions in 5 seconds, it’s done nothing to remove the pressure that they face or the risk that if something goes wrong their names will be trashed in the media - arguably it’s made that worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted December 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2023 I cant believe anybody still takes Garth Crooks football opinion serious, its a joke column for me. I would rather punditry from Garth Brooks 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if manure or Chelshit come calling Unai will be off... Just puts less pressure on the squad and all the snide comments from these 'pundits' just make great motivation! We have never been media darlings to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that seems completely reasonable, not worth getting upset about at all. He could have mentioned the deal with Emery's Spanish club, though perhaps that's a bit 'in the weeds' for this audience. Otherwise, it seems a completely reasonable survey of what's happened so far and what one of the potential risks is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Ahh I get it now, Man City are one of the best teams in rhe world and play fantastic football when Luton loae 2-1. But when we beat them 1-0 and play them off the park, there is a serious problem with City and the media say they are as good as falling apart this season. Although all about Spurs today.

Annoyman Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Lads Garth Crooks is a mascot, he hasn't known what day it is at any point this decade, getting angry at his team of the week is several steps ahead of "caring about Talksport bait" on the waste of energy scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Neville and Carragher taking off as pundits was what I think the watershed was for pundits attempting to at least sound impartial even if we knew they weren't. Makes me laugh reading the continued "debate" around Joey Barton's mental collapse, about meritocracy and needing the best people for the job, because pundits are some important for educating the audience. Neville, Carragher, Shearer, Dublin, Wright. Who feels like they're getting valuable insight and new and useful information from these stupid words removed? It's celebrity fanzone, I'd rather watch it with the sound muted, and frequently do. Edited December 11, 2023 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2023 There’s a lot of everything these days to argue it either way. What Villa did right coverage. What City did wrong coverage. There’s plenty to suit all requirements. You can find it out accordingly. Personally, if there was a “Yeah but Rodri is missing” angle, I would want it acknowledged by the same outlet that Nunes and Phillips are both there available to them. £100m sat on the bench, make use of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
