Garth Crooks is the worse ex Spurs player pundit imo. Rarely complimentary towards us and seems to have an axe to grind or even a grudge towards us.

haha, yeah, watching the build up from the morning onwards was a ritual when I was a kid.

As for pundits, they say things I disagree with and things I agree with. Much like anyone and anything else, it's how it is and how it's always been. You're right, it's waffle and the choice on watching it or not is clear.

They used to follow the team coaches in a fucking helicopter!
They were on the teams coaches before the final on a number of years, including one of the Spurs finals. I remember them doing an interview with Micky Hazard before the game on the coach.

I think I’ve told this story before but my mate asked Crooks for an autograph when he saw him at a World Cup 20 odd years ago. He said Crooks didn’t even look at him, waved his arm in the air as if to say ‘away with ye, commoner’ and didn’t even answer him. He’s hated him since. 😄

I like both Neville and Caragher as pundits, but you’re both spot on, they shouldn’t be doing the games of their own team.
I’ve been saying this for years though, they can still have a ‘neutral’ on comms and in the box but they just need representation from both clubs.
There are enough ex pros and managers out there who are working the media circuit who could do it. From our perspective though just don’t let O’Hara within a five mile radius…

Off the top of my head (not including Bent and Jenas): Souness, Redknapp (J), Hoddle, Crouch, Lineker, Murphy, Dawson, Robinson, O'Hara. And Ginola on occasion...
Also Defoe and Keane. They've been on a few of our games in the past.

I don't like Crooks punditry at all and I agree he has an axe to grind/seems biased against us.....but come on. Worse than Jamie Redknapp?? Worse than Darren Bent (??!!!)
