Garth Crooks didn’t hold back on the BBC after Chelsea beat nine-man Arsenal.
He wasn’t having a pop at Arsene Wenger or Gabriel or even Diego Costa. Oh no, he was tearing referee Mike Dean a new one.
The pundit accused the official of wanting to be the star of the show and said he ruined the game with an unnecessary red card for Gabriel after an incident with Costa.
“It’s really getting on my nerves because he’s spoiling good games,” Crooks said. “It’s not about you, Mike.”
Garth Crooks is not a man to hold back, beware Mike Dean! http://t.co/eVBRiXPTBB, #bbcfootballhttps://t.co/6bxzprC9xZ

Naturally though, Jose Mourinho – who hailed Costa as man of the match – was delighted after the game.
He was even smiling and fooling around. Jose Mourinho. Smiling.
Jose has got his smile back… #CHEARS https://t.co/5kGgaxr3S6
