Superior Acuña Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 England's play now looks set to be dictated by a 6'3" 21-year-old from Gateshead. I wonder what that's supposed to mean. I know, that seems like an inexplicable implied criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 You only have to look at the headlines and what Capello has been saying to see that Carroll is the future for England regardless if he plays tonight or not. As much as I want to see him play tonight, Newcastle comes first. If there are ANY doubts, he shouldnt be playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Doesn't sound like he should be playing, tbh. He'll have other chances. This is key. It's not an important game either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 as much as watching him crush a few French defenders would make my evening more entertaining, I'd rather he didn't play and was definitely fit for Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He's training so he's probably ok. Highly doubt he's even injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antec Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He will score a goal, put the "hush finger" towards the french bastards, go straight out on the piss, hump a couple of London WAGs and then come home safe and sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LJA0210 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 if they stop him playing tonight if i was andy id be slapping a transfer request in tomorrow like after the support we have given him recently and after the Taylor incident?? yes even after that this is a big chance for him to establish himself as a class centre forward and if he is fit he should play. As much as we need him he will probs only play 45 minutes anyway. its the clubs fault for not investing in another striker of quality and instead spending money to turn the gallowgate stand into a giant sportsdirect carrier bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 club before country. We pay his wages. It should be our medical staff to assess whether he's fit or not. I don't think that should be the case like - otherwise every player ever called up to international duty would pull out with an injury. Plus it sounds like he's the one pushing this - he sounds desperate to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 'Late fitness test' - can't believe that. What is that tonight? A world cup semi-finale? Or at least a qualifier? No, it's a fucking friendly, he shouldn't be involved if he's not 100 % fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Presumably a fitness test assesses whether he's fit, so if he passes it he's OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Presumably a fitness test assesses whether he's fit, so if he passes it he's OK. He won't be, this is the same England fitness team that said M Owen was fit to play in the 2006 world cup when he clearly wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a fucking friendly, he shouldn't be involved if he's not 100 % fit. If this weren't potentially his first cap he would've been pulled out of the squad a while ago. Not to mention how short England are on strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The thing is: I'm sure Derek Wright who is our physio is also your NT's physio. If Carroll gets injured on his watch then he should be sacked the moment he gets back to Newcastle. Carroll should also realise that he'll have plenty more opportunities to play for England. He doesn't have to be Superman and play in a fucking friendly today to prove how committed to the cause he is. Let's be honest, you're not exactly loaded up front so he'll get his chance sooner rather than later and there's still two years until the Euros for him to earn his place up front.
