Pre Match Thread: Liverpool Vs. Newcastle 30/12/11 19.45 pm kick off

Mike Williamson will be playing for toon tonight with Steven Taylor out. I think that Carroll will get some joy out of him tonight, if we had Suarez he'd rip the piss out of him.

I'm confident of a win tonight.

Win      73 (80.2%)
Draw    15 (16.5%)
Defeat  3 (3.3%) 

How can they vote for a loss, beats me.   

We have some non-reds knocking about the place Fritzel style, they do tend to get out occasionally!!

Spearing has to play. If he plays we will win.

Early goal is key for our chances I think. Newcastle can just score as easily as they can concede. Perfect opportunity for Andy to prove his critics wrong.

I'd love a 4-3 but would give my left bollock for a 1-0 win, Andy scoring.

Very difficult game to predict, I would love to see 3 points and a couple of goals for the Reds.

Put this under Andy's nose in the Dressing Room tonight and let him read it .

Twice.

Then put him on the pitch.

Derek Llambias, the man who brokered the deal that made Andy Carroll the most expensive Englishman in football history, has sensationally claimed: “He’s worth f*** all!”

The Toon MD’s disparaging verdict on England striker Carroll (below) came when he was giving a group of Newcastle fans an insight into the £35million deal that took the England striker to Liverpool in January.

Llambias insists that Newcastle got the better of the deal.

The Anfield club’s first bid was £30m and Llambias told the fans: “I have to admit that £30m for Andy Carroll is a lot of money.”

When one supporter asked him “Is he worth £30m?” Llambias responded: “No — he’s worth f*** all.” He then explains that after rejecting the £30m offer, Newcastle refused to sell even for £35m unless Liverpool paid the entire fee up front.

A move that forced Liverpool to ask Chelsea to increase their first instalment of the £50m they had already agreed to pay for Fernando Torres!

Llambias explained: “It is about control.

“We had the control. We knew the Torres deal was there.

“We drew that f****** deal, perhaps the ultimate.

“So £30m? F*** off! Don’t waste my time and I slammed the phone down.

“£35m? Everybody including Pardew [manager Alan Pardew] all agreed.

“But the £35m they wanted to pay over four years.

It was rubbish. Mike (Ashley) said — and he is a brave boy Mike I promise you — get all the £35m up front.

“We got it all up front and then they never paid us on time and we charged them 12 grand f****** interest.”

C**t*

Im sure Kenny and Damien would like a result.

In the past, I would have said I expect us to win but they are doing very well this season and we are inconsistent. They played very well away to the Mancs so expect a tough game. If we are up for it, whose to say we can't win. Hope Andy gets a goal.

                                                                  Reina

                                                          Spearing

                                                         Andy

Id like to see something like that tbh. Doubt i will. If wer going with andy up top we need balls in the box. Also liverpool to win 4-3 150/1 its worth a euro/pound 

Think we'll come out flying , get an early goal, courtesy of Andy , and win 3-0.
Just think we'll be up for this.
Andy, the stage is all yours !

Lke to see the reds shaft them good after reading that report. They say demba ba took a knock saturday, so he wont be sharp. we need these 3 points to stay in contention for fourth spot.Hope big andy cant start to score with luis out.Think its a 3-1 score myself newcastle stating to slip now,the reds have to score first.

On my way in about half an hour after a few at the Sandon to whet the whistle 

I just ask for 100% from the lads, an early goal will take some of the pressure off.

Come on lads - 2-0 please 

Win      73 (80.2%)
Draw    15 (16.5%)
Defeat  3 (3.3%) 

How can they vote for a loss, beats me.   

Win 81 (80.2%)   
draw  16 (15.8%)
Defeat 4 (4%)
   ATM

 Those 4 votes are always there mate, I think its always the same 4 voting for a loss always
Don't bother most probably some Manc invaders 

Andy Carroll to come of age tonight me thinks

About to head off to Anfield to lend my support to the mighty reds for the last time in 2011.

And by sh*t is the weather grim - chucking it down.  It's going to be one slick passing surface!  Expect a mistimed sliding red-card!

Come on the RedMen!!

Come on Redmen 3-1 Carroll or Bells first goal, super excited about this one, this is what its all about

And by sh*t is the weather grim - chucking it down.  It's going to be one slick passing surface!  Expect a mistimed sliding red-card!
