Garth Crooks:
"However, talk of winning the title is sheer fantasy. There's more chance of Prince William taking charge of Villa's remaining fixtures than them winning the Premier League"

If were to win the title I hope the Prince invokes royal decree and has Garth Crooks tarred, feathered and dragged through the streets of Aston by his bollocks.

I did wonder why he was so over the top dismissive to the possibility.
It's not completely out of the question and I know many here have said this guy Crooks often talks nonsense.
I actually had to look him up coming across him mentioned here on his infamous team of the week selections previously occasion.
I always thought he was a football journalist.
But he actually played from 1976 to 1990, for Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Charlton Athletic.

Since when has anyone taken a blind bit of notice of anything Pingu says?  Genuinely thought he'd retired about 5 years back.

Arsenal and Liverpool have tougher games in the next 4 than Villa and they have to play each other.

I wouldn't say we will win the league, but we'll be in the top one.

Yes, he's an ex-footballer. Which makes him a terrible pundit.

2 of our remaining 22 matches are against bottom of the table Sheff U. The other 3 serious title contenders have already played and beaten them the once. If we have any serious intentions we should be getting all 6 points.

After Man Utd and Newcastle poor showing.
Brighton West Ham and ourselves could do with wins to top the group and bring in the bonus points for the co efficients and Prem having the extra champions league spot.
