What a big month for Andy Carroll

I hope England fail miserably but Big Andy has a blinding tournament, and comes back to us all guns blazing ready for next season.
 
I've backed Carroll to be top scorer in euro 2012 @ 66/1, I'm just thinking if he can bag a couple in the first 3 games he will at least halve in price and I can lay it off on betfair for a profit.

Just looked now and he's 36/1 on betfair so actually I've already got a free 30/1 bet on him. Happy days.

Really like Carroll, hope he has a great summer for England and comes back raring to go for the new season.

Good thinking..

I really think Hodge and Carroll will surprise the nation this summer. Unlikely heroes to the Capellos, Beckhams and Rooneys..
 
Agreed HC, I think England will get as far as the Semis. Fancy Germany strongly for the tournament though.
 
33p a pint.

He may be on an obscene wage, but there's no way that won't catch a Geordie lad's attention!

FWIW I think Carroll will boss international defenders though, we've seen in the past they struggle against archetypal big English forwards even if they don't have much in their locker, & Andy has more than most.


33p a pint.... fucking hell its gotta be worth the extra background radiation.
 
All you haters can suck it.
I'm praying for Carroll to do well because if he really isn't the next coming of Christ we are truly fucked next season.
 
how superb was big Andy to the other night for England. Great touch, amazing header and kept the ball really well for us.

He also helped out a lot defending from set pieces, only downside was his stupid foul which led to their goal.

He is bloody unlucky to be dropped for Rooney but hopefully this proves his form has continued.

Also, congrats to him and the staff for his fitness, he has lost shit loads of fat and built some impressive muscle including his Arnie like jawline. Loved the bit at the end when they were walking off, Carroll with his shirt off showing his new abs then Stevie walks next to him stating "I'll see you your abs and raise you mine" never seen Stevie so lean.

Fitness of our players in Euro's looking great for early season.
 
In the knockout rounds, England can surprise. Hope Andy and Gerrard keep playing a pivotal role. They need a little more invention in midfield.
 
Me too, it's harsh for both Danny and Andy, neither of them deserve to be dropped, they were forming quite a decent partnership too.

There's a possibility neither could be dropped with Walcott carrying an injury. Welbeck has played wide before and couldn't be any worse than Milner on the right.
 
Milner was pants the other night and Young was not much better, so much so I might have even been tempted to give Downing a run.
I don't see that Rooney should walk back in anyway. I would have him on the bench and give him half an hour , unless circumstances dictated otherwise

No chance, the media love to have this buildup to a great saviour storyline. Then usually destroy them when they don't live up to it.

Roy hasn't the balls not to play him, cos if they fail it will be deemed his fault. Should he play rooney & they fail there's a good chance it will be he who is blamed.

Also, in his interview a comment was telling. Roy said 'he's a special case, I'm afraid he just has to play' that to me suggests the decision is not his or he's under pressure to toe the line.
 
Normally i'm one of the first to wish terrible things for English sports team, but i want them to go as far as they can. Gerrard deserves this, and so do all the other Liverpool players who are wearing the shirt with pride, despite all the criticism.
 
Paul Merson on the coke again?


Andy Carroll should be ashamed of himself. It’s an absolute disgrace that he didn’t take a penalty for England. He cost £35m – it’s his job to score goals!
Ashley Cole is the best left-back in the world. It’s his job to defend, not score goals. That’s what Carroll is there for. How he doesn’t take a penalty in front of Cole is disgusting. It winds me up so much.
Even if Roy Hodgson had him down to take the fifth, that’s not an excuse. It’s not good enough. Your best takers go first. It’s no good having Lionel Messi waiting to take the last penalty if your team is already out, is it?
When I was at the World Cup as a player, if I had stood there and let Tony Adams or Gary Neville take one before me, I’d be ashamed of myself.
That’s a striker’s job. That’s what they are paid to do. Since the age of 10, or whenever he started, he’s been told to score goals.
Carroll will be one of our main centre-forwards going into the next World Cup – and he won’t step up and take a penalty? It doesn’t fill you with confidence.”
Merson blasted in the Daily Star.
 
What a mental prick. Penalty takers aren't always forwards, infact there's alot of forwards that don't like taking them, most strikers play on instinct, it's different to taking a penalty. Look at Dennis Irwin FFS.
 
Cole has taken and scored penalties for England in the past. He is always in Chelsea's first five in shootout too.
 
There's always some tit that doesn't think or pay attention that pipes up with that kind of shit.

There were a load of cretins going on about Suarez not taking a penno against Cardiff.

IF YOU'D BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, YOU WOULD KNOW HE'D ALREADY MISSED ABOUT 15 OF THE FUCKERS !
 
Cole scored a pen in CL final only a month ago so must have been up for it. Merson is a prick
 
Haha, what a tit. Yeah, its obviously Andys fault Roy didnt select him for a penalty.

I would love it if Roy now said Andy was nr 5. Say what Merson??

You missed this part. Carroll can't win.
