O/T Andy Caroll - Select him for the next international?

There are some lovely turns of phrase in this article about big Andy, though none as cutting as tfp's "new Mark Hateley", I reckon: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog ... rpool-pain

hurling Carroll in among Liverpool's Suárez-geared short-passing attack is a bit like a classical orchestra deciding to recruit a heavy metal guitarist who proceeds to lurk at the front, mooching and smoking and producing the odd crashingly inappropriate power solo.

Newcastle got Ba on a free too. Incredible.

I saw that. Great read. Made me quite wistful about the (supposed) demise of the cart-horse centre forward.

Mind you, the buggers are demising all over. Or at least trying to.

BTW - respect for remembering, locating and resurrecting the thread*, even tho' that fucktard SWSD spelt his name wrong.

*yes, I know I've moaned about this in the past. I'm a capricious bastard with Alzheimer's. Fuck off.

Somewhere in the BTL comments, although I can't find it now, some utter fuckspanner had written summat to the effect that Metallica or someone had once recorded an album with an orchestra, therefore the entire piece was invalid.

Genius.

Guns took an orchestra on tour with them during the ...Illusion tour (until the last 'Skin N Bones' leg), you may also have noticed them in the November Rain video.

Ronay's latest piece isn't really about Andy C, but it does find room for another mention:

At least everybody could agree that the game was a success for Andy Carroll, who here was employed by Liverpool as a kind of human missile, in much the same way the carcass of a dead ox might be catapulted beyond the castle walls during a medieval siege.

Again though Carcasonne was saved from seige by doing just that so maybe Carroll does have a role to play...
