Kenny tells Toon fans what they think about Andy Carroll

Apparently there’s a royal wedding today. When I heard about it I assumed Cheryl Tweedy was getting hitched again but apparently it’s to do with a couple called Kate and Will. Anyway, it seems my invite was lost in the post so I thought I’d write an article on here instead.
Kenny ‘Sourpuss’ Dalglish has been telling us Toon supporters what we think of Andy Carroll ahead of Sunday’s game, so we’d better jolly well listen.
Kenny instructs us thusly:
“They [that’s us] will do whatever they want, but it won’t take away from what he has done for their football club and it won’t take away what the football club meant to Andy.
“It is a compliment really, in a strange way, if you do get abuse because it means you must have been important to them.”
So any boos for Andy Carroll will actually be translated as “we love you” according to Kenny. I wonder from which Internet site Kenny got his degree in psychiatry.
Kenny goes on:
“I’m sure when Newcastle signed Alan Shearer they didn’t give too much consideration to Blackburn Rovers fans but that’s football. What goes around comes around. I don’t know what they will do on Sunday but if, as a player, you don’t get abuse off your old supporters then they can’t have been too disappointed that you left. I think the boy is expecting something.”
So that’s us told, but he continues by saying Andy’s a ‘nice lad’.
“I don’t think we have found out anything new about his game. Even if you go back to his first goal against Manchester City, he rattled in one like that against us earlier in the season. We knew what we were getting before Andy came in. What you don’t know to the same extent is the personality and if there is one thing that has pleasantly surprised us it is the boy’s personality. He is a real down-to-earth boy who sometimes doesn’t realise he is a footballer but that is because he is naive and has his feet firmly fixed on the ground. That is not a criticism. That is a huge compliment to him.”
Interesting that he doesn’t realise he’s a footballer. Maybe he thinks he’s a turnip.
Of course Carroll is stil just 50-50 to play depending upon his injury status but it shouldn’t matter to us either way. We have been inconsistent this season but on one of our good days I think we’re capable of taking points off Liverpool at Anfield, despite our dismal historic record at the ground. Like a lot of this season, much depends on which team turns up for us.
I think we have to try and get at them as quickly as possible because sitting back and trying to contain teams rarely seems to work for us.
Howay The Lads
Hopefully AC will become the biggest waste of £35m in the history of the modern game.
Interesting quotes from Kenny I think I seen him on TV but understood nothing that came out of his mouth so thanks for the quotes : )
