Jelly in the BBC team of the week

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26316995

 

Crooks usually picks players based on goals, so no surprise.

Every player in midfield and attack scored, so there's no coincidence.

 

Yeah but Garth Crooks picked it so it doesn't count.

 

Is there anything, anywhere in the sports media, that carries less weight and credibility than Garth Crooks's team of the week?

 

Lawro's predictions must be close.

 

I pay more attention to his guests.

 

Scroll forward to 2:55 for the last worthwhile thing Garth Crooks did, 33 years ago...

I did not know that and I certainly don't believe it.

 

Anything by Gwillam Lloyd followed by other clowns on RH.

 

I don't either, considering McGregor has had 6.

 

Can’t say that I’m that up on the status of Croatia, but has Jelavic a decent chance of making their World Cup squad?

 

Yeah that's complete BS.

 

Not only of making it, but he'll be starting against Brazil with their main striker suspended.

 

Mandzukic is suspended for the start so I'd expect him to start for the opening game vs Brazil.


MarkinLA is better to ask about this though.

 

Right. So Jelavic is a shoo-in for a squad place at least?

 

He must be. Olic and Eduardo are the only people who could usurp him, and Eduardo is benchwarming at Donetsk.

 

Good stuff.

Apologies to everyone for using 'shoo-in' by the way.

It was wrong and I'm sorry.

 

I wonder if the writer has missed the word consecutive?

No, wait, West Ham have just gone 4 games running without conceding. Did they change keeper during that run?

 

Don't think so.

It's just a major cockup, typical of Crooks.

 

Isn't Olic more of a left winger these days?
