Virgil van Dijk

[Liverpool]

You only have to be half paying attention to anything Virg has said in the last 18 months to know that's utter nonsense

Garth Crooks you ****ing whopper

Virgil van Dijk: I have almost run out of superlatives to describe Virgil van Dijk's performances this season - he has featured in my team of the week more than any other player.

What the Dutch international has brought to Liverpool's defence is almost unquantifiable. I do feel however, that if Liverpool fail to win the Champions League, and that is by no means certain, it may hasten Van Dijk's departure. Players of his class need to be playing for the best team in the world.

Who do you suppose is this best team in the world he's referring to?

Is it City? Who Virge turned down to join us.
or
Is it Barca? who we just turned over to make the final.
or
Does he mean Spurs as by virtue of being European Champions become said team? Who would have to sell half their squad to be able to afford him.
I can almost hear the wheels turning in what Garth loosely calls his mind.

How does that guy (Crooks) get paid to give his views on football?

I cant think of anyone stealing a living more than him, he's definitely got some dirt on the establishment or something

I had to look at my calendar to check I've not woken from a 3 week sleep.

Thank **** we're still in with a chance of taking the title of best team in the world

I liked the time Crooks was wet with excitement over the pass VVD made and included him in team of the week only to be widely ridiculed it wasn't VVD that made the pass.

That’s like someone on the verge of a breakdown.

What is the context? what is he being asked?

[Shaggy]

Was it not something do with Hodgson when he said 'feed to monkey' about Andros Townsend?

seems a reasonable response then doesn't it?

It certainly seems to go down a treat and be well received by his fellow pundits Though I am sure they sense a conversational minefield.

Reminds me of my favourite ever bit of punditry.
