Was anybody else sort of hoping that the shocking pitch yesterday would be exactly out of phase with and thereby would somehow cancel out the natural bumpiness he seems to impart on his passes?
Crouch was the fulcrum for most of our attacking goodness in that run, too. He's like totally central to our plans and stuff? He's barred from the shagging last-chance saloon, his name's not down, anybody over 6'6" cannot enter that ride...
Passing and shooting awful, playacting and diving unimpressive. Ferocity and nuisance without the ball unparallelled, image and nickname cool. Like him.
