I fully understand the lad is over the moon having scored the crucial goal to secure 4th place.
However he is talking too much to the media and feeding them with ammunition to take us down if something does not pan out our way.
I hope he will be told to shut up from now on.

The guy is media friendly, people like him, journos like him. He will be asked questions because of this. He will not be going out of his way to give inteerviews, but if he asked for one, he will give one, that is what he is like.

He so is. There's no way he should talk up our achievements at all, he's certainly not allowed to enjoy it.

"Oh no, the meeeeeja could say something nasty about us after this"

Get a grip.

Just scored our most important goal for years, did you expect him to hermit it up until the world cup?

Gordon Bennett give the fella a break. He has just scored the goal to put us into the Champs League and you are moaning because he is talking to the press? Let him have his moment in the spotlight and enjoy it.

He has the right to express his delights of course. However, he should not come across as gloating. Messi is an example of a humble lad. Be please but be careful with what one says.

Spurs fans talk too much. And that's from a bloke with 33,000+ posts :)

Stupidest thread ever (in SC terms that means in the last 24 hrs).

Oh god not another one of these ridiculous fucking threads.

My biggest pet peeve with Spurs Community = fans that have a go at players for "talking to much"

Never known anything quite so stupid in all my life.

I like people with actual personalities. Modern footballers are media trained to hide their eccentricities which is boring. I've actually come to like David Bentley because he makes Robocop sounds when Bale walks by and he pours water on Redknapp wearing his shorts like an idiot.

And Messi should be careful what he says. Him talking about how Fabregas is going to join Barcelona sooner or later ("it's in his blood" and so on...) makes Redknapp look professional. That's one of the things players should not talk about, players under contract at other clubs.

Harry always has something to say - why shouldn't Crouchie when he gets the chance.

His agent is doing a good job for him too in raising his image - in a lot of TV adverts at the mo.

oh calm down sunshine, we are lucky to have Crouchy give interviews because unlike some players he can string a sentence or two together!
Also add in the fact that Crouch is a genuine nice guy, if anything it makes us look better.

he isn't one to gloat either.

What a fucking shit thread. Our own player has just scored potentially the most important goal for fuck knows how long and then gets accused of gloating!

Fuck me with a fucking fish fork.

He was talking us up all week before the City game and look what happened there. He even talked us up before the Arsenal and Chelsea matches, probably knowing he would be sub. I like Crouchy talking, it usually means good things, even though I think he said we can win the CL. And when I see him talking, I think of his bird, and that makes me happy.

So keep on talking Crouchy. Talk until your cock falls off.
