Well that's that then. Thank fuck. (But in all seriousness, this has not reached its conclusion just yet... )

Struggling to think of examples, he;lp. Well this Carroll thing for one.

I can sense a transfer request coming...

Whilst I do understand (and appreciate) the reasons behind this hard business approach, there does come a point when it's the wrong approach to adopt. For the sake of saving an extra million pounds, we could lose out on a really good player and that would be really annoying especially when more often or not, our plan B is virtually non-existent or just plain silly. Btw, I think it's a good thing that we're no longer in a position where we're spending silly money on players.

Ah feck, forgot about him. My bad.

Namely Lawrenson, Pearce, Mowbray. Dixon is no big loss.

This Friday's game is live on BBC1 btw.

I got sent a link to a statistical report which proved that Lucas is better than Tiote. Apparently, Lucas would outmuscle Tiote rather easily

Bientôt, mes amis, bientôt...

Pretty much what my workmates said today...

So that's David to add to the oldtype Hall of Fame.

Tbf, some people on here and a few of my mates (unjustifiably) wrote him off last season...

I was really wound up They basically said that if the likes of Cabaye, Ben Arfa were given a choice to go to Liverpool, they would say yes immediately.

Already Giggsed out.

Oh, so Carroll actually wants to come back? Well that's nothing new really, it was clear very early on that he made a mistake in moving. The way I see it though is that we definitely won't meet Liverpool's demands/valuation. £15-17 million? Nah, f*** off.

Had a somewhat heated discussion with two of my workmates today. Unfortunately, they went into "Liverpool fan mode" and said the following: - If given the choice, a player would choose Liverpool over us any time - Lucas is a better DM than Tiote - Cabaye/Ben Arfa swap for Carroll would be a good deal The arrogance of it all man!

Ah, well a win's a win Must have been a decent enough workout.

Harper back to his number 12/13 maybe?

Ah, I missed this! Good game?

2010 was when Carroll was at his best. Some of the stuff he played was almost Shearer-esque, that's how good his potential was back then. He hasn't progressed at all in the last two years though and that's really down to him. His attitude has been poor - he's still somewhat immature. The many times he'd been called out for his off-field antics (ie. his boozing) and not doing anything about just epitomised the level of his attitude. You could put that down to him being homesick or you could put that down to Dalglish's shitness but one thing's for sure imo, he simply hasn't been professional. The back end of last season saw glimpses of the Carroll of old but his decent form came too little, too late in terms of doing anything to justify his £35 million price tag. Definitely don't want him back here as I see it as a step in the wrong direction. We've moved on and he made his choice so I would rather we concentrate on bringing in other targets.

Didn't see everybody laughing at Spurs when they took Robbie Keane back. No one really cares tbh. Good example. That one worked out well No it didn't but my point is this 'oh we will be a laughing stock' , who outside Newcastle actually cares if we take Carroll back on a loan. I repeat, a loan. The media would go on a frenzy. They're expecting us to do something daft because we're "Mike Ashley's Newcastle United".

my frienddddddddddd

Good.
