And what really annoys me is that members of his site criticise Crooks and yet to me he is very fair, openly fair to us, which from a BBC standpoint is unheard of.
I don't know if he's every been criticised for being unfair, more for his habit of picking midfielders and defenders based on whether they scored or not. Fer was, admittedly, a refreshing departure from that policy. He also tends to pick sides that would never work on the pitch, I remember seeing something like a 3-5-2 with only attacking midfielders, and two full-backs picked.
people don't rate pundits by how they judge norwich city and it's players - they rate them for their knowledge of football and the reason most people hate garth crooks is because he is appalling at his job. i'm afraid i don't have the vocabulary to fully describe how hopeless he is
