Just seen the Suarez goal... the way the ball ended up going in

... yeah, that should probably have woken me up there and then!

Surprising we're not all sterile.

Had a dream the other week that he would make his comeback vs Everton. We were 3-1 up, he came on with 15 minutes to go and scored. 4-1 win.

It's too simplistic to talk about him turning his back on the club.  It's a short career, and if he's to be believed he's being told he's not wanted by his current employer, and there's a prospective employer prepared to pay £35m for him and almost treble his wage.  £14m over 5 years.  He knows that contract negotiations at Mike Ashley's Newcastle are going to be few and far between, and that if he scored 25 goals a season for the next 4 year, he'd still not get £80k a week out of Ashley.  Which makes his decision a no brainer, once they told him they wouldn't open up negotiations with him.

 

And whether he was told he was not wanted is up for debate, but having seen Lambias's crack in the paper today, it wouldn't surprise me at all.  These blokes are despicable cunts and I don't understand how ANY Newcastle fan can give them the time of day.

Whilst all that obviously is true, people are still entitled to be upset about the manner/timing of him leaving. And it's far too simplistic to just assume that means support for the board.

The poll on this thread tells a story though.

 

Same old story then... laying any blame on Carroll = support for the owners

 

Laying the blame exclusively on Carroll, as 44% have done, shows an inability to assess the situation at best.  Support for the owner at worst.

Carroll could be on the end of more aggro because we all know the owners are cunts (Carroll included), yet he still turned his back on the club.

There isn't any question of who gets 'support' here and it doesn't mean they are trusted.

hows that not a foul on barton

Got there late, Fulham player got the ball. If anything Barton was out of order for giving up and staying down.

Wow, one of the best first time crosses he's ever managed from Jonas... even Best was surprised.

... Williamson should try playing the actual ball more often, just an idea

Not very impressive from Williamson that....

Nothing new. Been doing it all season.

This is quite possibly the worst game I've ever seen

Similar to this same fixture under Allardyce so far... let's hope for the same result.

Lucky boy there Enrique.

Probably broken. A month or two out and then a mask?

Shola in a mask!

That must happen!

Duff to SCORE with a deflected shot... yeah that's all we need.

Shola displaying his great brain skills again, very necessary foul.

used to hate when Tevez scored for Andy's sake...

Yeah I remember that too.

Feeling sick again.

Once a Scouser, always a Scouser. You welcome him into your home, treat him like a member of your family. He wins you over with his chirpy smile and sense of humour, all the while sizing your place up for valuables for his mates to come and steal later.

Fits perfectly

Anyone else still feel absolutely gutted, regardless of who was to blame? :-[

Yes. The set of circumstances that saw him grow into becoming our number 9 won't be replicated any time soon.

He shouldn't be telling LFCtv anything.

£80,000 a week and he goes out wearing an umbro jacket.

He's been pictured in Liverpool's Adidas gear so much in all of this, Umbro probably wanted a look in... bet he was 'forced' into wearing that too.

Its quite ironic that Nolans get out clause in all of this is that he's a Liverpool fan, and yet it's the very same thing that should have prompted Carroll to stay.

Yes! Shame Carroll couldn't share Nolan's passion for a supposed favourite club.

He's being supportive of a mate who's moved clubs, and is offering to help him settle in. I fail to see any crime in that..

Why do a public interview? Talk to Carroll directly ffs.

Ahh we had a good thing going there for a while with the fans, the players, the trust, the camaraderie, the love...

I just know he'll score against us aswell, probably the winner.

And celebrate and kiss the badge.
