We only need 10 more points, so no. We've been without Carroll for the last 5 games - won 2, drawn 2, lost 1 (FA Cup) Get a grip!

Thank fuck we've already got 30 points. Ameobi and Best for the rest of the season. "shudder"

If that's true, it makes the situation even more ludicrous

"dinged"? Yeah, dinged. Keep up!

Obafemi Martins has dinged for Birmingham City according to Graeme Bailey

What's the point of the 25 man squad rule if the F.A are going to dish out punishments for using all of your squad members? Of all the ridiculous, jobsworth shite peddled by the F.A, this must be the worst. It's sheer fucking lunacy!!

Isn't he actively being used in Chelsea's squad? Can't see it happening like. If the reported move for Aguero proves to be true I doubt Sturridge will get much game time

Possible loan move for Daniel Sturridge according to Sky Sports transfer centre

He hasn't got a bad rep for being troublesome though, it's just for being a proper weirdo isn't it? On his day he's a very good player and I believe we have the kind of team spirit and togetherness that could bring the best out of him. In fact, given the bond between our players and the spirit in the camp, I reckon coming here would be the best thing he could do right now. It'd be like the football equivalent of group therapy.

Oh Andy Gray, how I will miss your constant bumming of Alex Ferguson and your shite views on everything football-related.

Such a dignified fella. I really wish he'd spill the beans on how he really feels about Ashley and Llambias though

They weren't talking about the incident though, so you look like an even bigger... Genius?

The best thing about this is that the decision they were talking about was absolutely spot on by the lineswoman. It was a split-second decision that, in real time, looked offside but when slowed down was about a yard on. Really tough one to call but she nailed it, which makes Gray and Keys look like an even bigger pair of wankers!

I think £20m would buy a decent striker, maybe 2 but if we keep him for a few years and he continues to develop, he'll be worth double or maybe treble that. More importantly, if we keep him, he might fire us into Europe.

Carrick is past his best. No thanks!

I guess this game highlights the difference in standards between the Premier League and the Championship. Routledge looks very average in the Premier League but very good in the Championship (just as I type this, he treads on the ball and loses it) I still think Taarabt could be decent in the Premier League but he'd be frustrating as fuck and I don't think he'd be great for team spirit - good to watch though

Carroll doesn't want to leave this club, he's leaving his dream of playing for Newcastle United and has just become an England international. The only thing he could get elsewhere that he isn't getting here is European football but there's plenty of time for that. No doubt Fergy and Arry will try and get their players to turn his head but I reckon they'll be wasting their time.

If that's true, it's a total no-brainer.

I get the feeling now that this is a club that players can and will thrive at. In the past we were the club where once-decent footballers came to die, but now our team spirit and collective mental strength seems so good that I wouldn't worry about signing the likes of Ireland.

To be fair there aren't that many midfielders who do score 15 goals per season.

He blocked me after I called him an insufferable cunt in response to some of his Carroll bullshit.

Well ... Get him to ask what he's doing. He didn't mention his cousin is female and she's now being Pardewed in the toilets. My cousin is female as it happens and she's a season ticket holder so I doubt she'd pass up the opportunity if it was on offer

My cousin is sat next to Alan Pardew on a flight to Heathrow right now.

Not such a bad move if we get Taarabt in return
