Meant it my arse!

That young lad Carrol for Newcy is earning them just as many points but doing so playing in a considerably inferior team yet there is virtually no hype around him at all.

Carrol didn't come on for the one of the biggest most successful clubs in the world and curl in a belter onn his debue to put the world, league and european champions back on top of the table.

Now did he?

There'd be plenty of hype about Andy Carroll if Newcastle didn't already have King Kev and Alan "the messiah" Shearer as their saviours this season...

How can you compare someone who has scored 3 goals in like 9 hours of football, to someone who has scored 2 in like 45 minutes? C'mon like.

No, but I do think that playing for your home town club and scoring in what is one of a series of games that will likely prove to be the most important in the recent history of the club is a bigger deal.

I am making a reasonable argument. You not liking it fair enough but I am perfectly entitled to argue my point.

No doubt there will be accusations of throlling but that just isn't how I roll.

Here is his game log:

Just think that playing for a your home town team who are in the mists of a relagation battle where half the squad are complete dross and scoring goals is an equal or even better achievement to playing for the best team in the world and scoring goals.

Typically in England, it is only the players of the big teams that would get this sort of attention unless they are British.

Than an unheard of 17 year old coming off the bench twice to score the winner twice to put Manchester United back on top of the league twice?

What has Carrol, 30 appearences for Newcastle???

You do know how hype works don't you?

jesus_thats_gre of course theres going to hype around kiko
17 yr old with 2 goals in 45 mins of play and basically keeping the title within our grasp

edit:
if this was the other way around and liverpool were relying on a 17yr to keep them ahead in the PL
I dread to think what it be like tbh

Are you aware Carroll was left on the bench today and that Ameobi was preferred ahead of him? 'Nuff said tbh.

JerryHandbag

I took off my watch and threw it at the screen when Park lost possession for the umpteemth time today (thankfully I missed )....infuriating to watch, as was the performance as a whole. Just cant wait for Rio and Wes Brown to come back.

If we are to win the league this year it looks like we will limp over the line like a wounded animal losing a hell of a lot of blood....:mad:

Just great Macceda in the papers for another week:mad:

I heard it mentioned on Setanta yesterday that if Man Utd were to win the league, Macheda wouldn't qualify to get a medal even if he plays every game that is left.

yep, you need 10 and he can get 9 max.

D.S.

Ok it's a long way off. But I think the Champions can apply for a dispensation with the FA in special circumstances?

PHB

Special dispensation normally refers to major injuries and stuff though doesn't it.

If we win Fergie will give him a medal either way as United get more made up for situations like this.

No it doesnt matter. Pique got one last season I think and was given a medal after 9 games.

Trust me, there is plenty of over excitable Liverpool fans with unreasonably high expectation that annoy me just as much as they annoy you.

Maybe I have become a cynical old man or something.

I agree. Sometimes players get hyped up all too quickly. I seen it with Rossi, Ando, Evans, Bellion (:D ) etc. The thing that is different with Macheda is that even if he never plays for us again he is a mini-legend as such. If it weren't for him most United fans feel we would be 3 points behind with a game in hand and struggling to match the Pool's hammering of teams. Any player that makes such a contribution to a closely ran league challenge against Liverpool of all teams is something special to us.
Just saying it as it is
