What did Coleman say?

We had no choice in letting him go Dave man.

He's a Lib Dem voter,loves Vince Cable.

Andy Carroll is wearing his favourite court suit.

Is he one for the neutral to watch.Will he give a positive impression?If so will it be easy to bring him back to Earth?

No need to pile on the puns lads.

Hasn't been any good for years tbh.

I don't see how anyone could say Carroll is in the top 5 Newcastle strikers ever. I'm not sure he even gets in the top 5 of the last 20 years. Shearer Ferdinand Cole Beardsley Bellamy Etc.

We've signed some bird from the Wrens?

Time to look ahead now lads.

Zamora?

We've had 2 good AC9's but why has nobody mentioned the 3rd. Anthony Cunningham

The best number 24 we've ever had.

And if the dog didn't stop for a shit,he'd have caught the rabbit. All conjecture.

I've never dreamed of you playing for Newcastle.

Ince was more than just a holding player, man.Batty was a modern day Nobby Stiles,won the ball and knocked the ball 10 yards to a more creative player...was superb at it.

The players who stay at one club forever,like Giggs,Tony Adams etc,used to be commonplace years ago.Players bought into the loyal to the club ethic,but even before Bosman,players were getting more powerful and since, loyal players are a rarity. Of course this has a knock-on effect to the fans whose idols move on for a greater bank balance,and the fans' emotional attachment is eroded. It's made the game of football half the game it used to be.

21 England caps say otherwise. A criminally low amount for such a talented player. Batty got 42 and was inferior in every way. Neil Webb, Kieron Dyer, Nicky Butt, Gareth Barry, Phil Neville and SWP all have more. I rest my case. Batty was a better defensive midfielder than Lee,and every other holding midfielder in England ,hence 42 caps.

I'll bet Nolan's glad to get rid of him,Carroll seems to have benefitted from Nolan's friendship than the other way round.

Terrific player,and Keegan's best signing imo.

To be fair I know about half a dozen Chelsea supporters and all of them have been supporting them for years.My next door neighbour used to be a season ticket holder there,but stopped when Roman bought it because he didn't agree with the blanket buying of success.Manchester United and Liverpool are the pld school glory hunting twats tbh. I'm from near nuneaton billy loads of em there. disgusting. That said few toon supporters about because of mining and that too. Whereabouts mate?I'm pretty close to you by the sounds. Atherstone upon tyne...I always have to default to Cov though because nee bugger has heard of it. Full of placker mancs. There's a Cov city bus that pulls up on a saturday and no-one gets on it whilst the pub nearest is full of red shirts of the worst kinds. horrid. Yeah,you ain't far from me at all.It's like that in Coventry as well mate tbh.There are a lot of Mags about mind but also a few Mackems.

My Chelsea mates go back before Ken Bates tbh.

Why on earth is that relevant at all? Indeed.Though hometown clubs mean fuck all to certain players.
