Did that make you take Clattenburg’s poster off your wall for a week?

Posters are so last century...Tom has Clattenburg as a screensaver.
Garth Crook's team of the week a joke as usual. Is he seriously saying only one Saints player was the best in his position this week?! McCarthy didn't even make the GK spot.

To be fair, he gave us a good write up under his reasoning behind picking Stephens. We did a great deal of last ditch stuff ...exciting and made us proud, but perhaps he picked players who snuffed the threat out earlier.
As you say, he's a joke.
Sure, a keeper does need to maintain concentration for the entire match, because it might not be until the 90th minute when they're called into action. Correct. But that doesn't automatically equate to them therefore being the best performing keeper of the weekend.
At least Garth is constant. Be annoying if he just suddenly changed into someone knowledgeable overnight. But also raises the question, just how does he have that job?
I guess he must have plenty of friends in football and in the media. Don’t forget he was the first black chairman of the PFA, in which role I seem to remember him doing rather well. He has had many strange jobs on the BBC, the strangest of which must be presenting Top of the Pops, and he has become a bit of a BBC institution, rather like Mark Lawrenson, his closest rival for blind ineptitude.

I felt at the time he had started to show some signs of decline at Liverpool. He just seemed to be losing a bit of confidence. It fell off a cliff then at Chelsea. Pity as I really thought he was a classy player. Agree on Iwobi, bar a couple of decent early games he always looked poor. Read another article recently about the influence of a 'super agent' possibly in that transfer. My Arsenal supporting mate backed up my assertion that he thought Iwobi was useless. He also hated Walcott especially in his last few years at Arsenal. Thought this was a bit harsh or maybe I was looking with Southampton tinted glasses on
Nothing will be decided this week, of course. But Watford have a huge opportunity here to go a long way to putting the relegation battle to bed. The game vs Norwich is surely the biggest game down the bottom since lockdown. It's a golden opportunity for Watford to take three points, and in the same round of matches where Bmouth and Villa take on Spurs and Man Utd.
Particularly given the ineptitude of Villa and Bmouth, a four point gap with four games to go would be huge.
