He said this years CL, they played Auxerre.

I like how the official site says he's 'back in contention'

Surely the only positive thing is that it's signed? Anything else just adds to the delay. Pardew's gone and bought got some pens on loan from WH Smith so Barton can sign the contract. I think he might have just nicked one from the Post Office upstairs actually.

We can pretend he's from Gateshead can't we? Everything's fine again.

Carroll apparently. Shows how far in advance this transfer was sorted out.

He's just showing how no-one else has a moral compass and are hypocrites.

Where does it say 'based purely on games for us'? I'm surprised by the poll results so far, Ginola was class, but HBA is a class above again. A class above? Ginola was amazing man.

Good deal with Shola now out.

Raphael Honigstein who writes for the Guardian (I think?) seems to think a deal was agreed on Friday.

Liverpool are a shit club. Couldn't even sort out a press conference. There's translator for Suarez but not for Carroll.

Arsenal at home is must win?

I don't think Liverpool's or Man U's fans did much tbh. Just were luckier/more attrative propositions.

I think this is what I'd do. I don't have loads of faith in Ranger but I'd rather have him as a lone striker than Best or Lovenkrands.

No

5-0 (Best 2, Ranger 2, Tiote)

Yup. Exactly and it's not like the club stuck by him with court cases hanging over his head or anything like that.

Carroll didn't have to go regardless of the owner's stance. I hate Ashley and now I hate Carroll. Hope his career nosedives.

Played on the wings most of his career though tbf. He surely can't be much worse as a striker than what we've currently got? He will improve as well. Nasri wasn't much of a goalscorer before he came to England.

I think I've got my wires crossed, who's this young kid?

When he was warming up at HT in the cup game his touch looked amazing. Easier to do with no opposition/pressure on you but still...was mightily impressive.

AC9 2.0 on.

Ah. Can't remember anything from the Spurs game which was serious either.

Man City he was holding his leg, dunno if its the same injury though.

Carroll looked knackered against Man City and should have been dragged off. If we're relying on him to say when he's injured he'll never come off.
