The rumour is that he was in The Birdcage which is a drag queen show come nightclub mainly for lasses.

 

It's most likely bollocks.

 

 

 

Wednesday night is rehab, big student night and nothing to do with drag queens!

Andy Carroll: City axe only made me stronger

 

Dec 24 2010 by Steve Brown, Evening Chronicle

 

ANDY CARROLL admits he was “devastated” when he was dropped against Manchester City earlier in the season.

 

But the Newcastle United hotshot insists that the disappointment only strengthened his resolve to succeed . . .

 

And left the 21-year-old – who already has 10 goals this season – determined to make his mark on the Boxing Day rematch at St James’ Park.

 

Carroll was left out of the starting line-up at the City of Manchester Stadium in October, coming on as a late replacement for Kevin Nolan.

 

The decision by Chris Hughton to axe his star striker came amid speculation Carroll could be called up for England’s European Championship qualifier against Montenegro.

 

And by his own admission, the player had not performed well in training in the build-up to the game, which City won 2-1.

 

Now, however, Carroll could be deployed against Roberto Mancini’s side as a lone striker by new manager Alan Pardew, and the Gateshead-born star has vowed to continue giving his utmost to the United cause.

 

“I was devastated – I had a poor week, and didn’t get picked for the weekend,” said Carroll.

 

“When you miss a game, it’s not very good, but you push yourself harder to get in, and it’s a great feeling when you do play. It’s even better.

 

“Obviously, I’ve just been working hard in every game I’ve been in.”

 

Carroll knows more of the same will be required against Mancini’s millionaires on Sunday, with City keen to make amends for Monday’s defeat at Everton.

 

And the Magpies forward believes that provided the service from the likes of Nolan and Joey Barton remains as good as it has been in recent games, he can prosper.

 

“Man City are a great team, and everyone’s looking forward to it,” Carroll said. “If we keep putting balls in the box, I’m sure I’ll score some goals.”

 

United were left frustrated when last Saturday’s game at Birmingham City was postponed a little over three hours before kick-off at St Andrews.

 

But Carroll says the call-off has allowed him and his team-mates to focus fully on Sunday’s game.

 

“Everyone was gutted that the game wasn’t on,” Carroll said.

 

“Obviously, everyone was looking forward to the game, and having it called off was disappointing.

 

“As soon as the game was cancelled, everyone just had to concentrate on the Man City game.

 

“Everyone’s got their heads switched on, and is ready to play.

 

“We haven’t been able to train as much as we’d have liked, but we’ve had more time with the gaffer and been working on a few things.”

 

Speculation continues to link Carroll with a lucrative, big money move away from St James’.

 

But Pardew has repeatedly stressed the player is going nowhere, and that news has delighted Carroll himself.

 

“That’s nice to hear him say things like that,” Carroll said, “but I just need to play my football and concentrate on scoring goals.”

 

Great management.

Redknapp was on SSN earlier talking about Carroll.  :rolleyes:

It was ridiculous. For the second year running SSN were at Spurs training sucking up to 'Arry. This year though, they pushed him about Carroll, obviously pre-prepared as the second part of the tap up. This time they had a montage of Carroll to show whilst Redknapp praised him.

 

"Give Spurs fans waking up a nice xmas present" - Jim White

 

Part 1 - Story is released to the press that Spurs are after someone,

Part 2 - Redknapp comes out and admits he's a player he admires, but he belongs to (in this case) Noocarsiw. He doesnt think he will want to leave.

Part 3 - Bid for the player after unsettling them.

 

This time, all backed up by Sky.

Reet, I'm not believing it myself.  But dad's friend who works as body guard in Iraq, Afghanistan and works with toon and other companies said he's hit someone and expect it to be in the papers tomorrow.

 

Guess it's just wait and see with it.

After all the Money wasted down the years on big money attempts to find strikers, If we then went out and got rid of the best one we have produced ourselves- It wouldbe a total joke.

Weve proved we cant do it buying- Ashley wants to run it on a tight budget- we simply cant afford to get rid of the talent we have.
