Andy Carroll Related Content
Bitter rivals Liverpool and Chelsea will lock horns for the second time in three days. It is revenge time for the Merseyside Reds who narrowly lost to the Blues in the 2012 FA Cup final last Saturday.
Andy Carroll’s 84th minute header, which never stood as a goal according to the referee, has divided concerned football fans. While some believe the match officials’ decision was correct, others insist that the ball crossed the line. Even camera technology cannot settle this case with a final general opinion.
While debates over Carroll’s denied equalizer at Wembley continue to hit football forums, the truth is that Liverpool enter Monday’s battle as beaten FA Cup finalists. The Merseyside Reds have absolutely nothing to play for in the English Premier League but pride.
They may want to remain in the top half of the table and prove to their fans that the club’s spirit is not dead regardless of the many disappointments they have encountered this season.
Liverpool have not tasted victory at the Emirates before this although Andy Carroll is upbeat about his side's chances tonight.

Liverpool are currently engaged in a battle for European spots with City and Spurs while Arsenal are living their dreams of overturning a seven point lead for Manchester United to lift the Premier League title. Nevertheless, both teams are set to face off in an all important match at the Emirates tonight.
Speaking of the Emirates, Liverpool have never won a game there ever since Arsenal shifted to their new stadium. However, one Liverpool player who has had the experience of winning at the Emirates is confident that his side will be able to break their duck later tonight.
Roberto Mancini believes that Liverpool should be proud to have a fantastic manager in the form of Kenny Dalglish on their side

Manchester City will visit Anfield on Monday as both teams take on each other in a clash being billed as the 'European Spot Battle'. Both sides are still fighting for a place in Europe next season and although City look to be having an upper hand in this battle, anything can change from an unexpected season of Premier League football.
Ahead of this anticipated clash, City manager Roberto Mancini has heaped praises on his counterpart Kenny Dalglish, labeling him as a 'fantastic manager' for the Reds. The Italian also believes that King Kenny's January spending has definitely reduced the consequences of losing Javier Mascherano and Fernando Torres.
Liverpool can’t afford to feel the heat caused by Steven Gerrard’s injury, or they’ll end up in a total mess. The captain has been ruled out for the rest of the season, but the Reds must move on.

It’s important for Liverpool to earn a top-five finish in the English Premier League. There would be a reason to call anything less than such an achievement a failure. As Kenny Dalglish has set his target on European football, he is resolute to avoid being blown away by Steven Gerrard’s loss:
“It would be wrong for us to mislead anyone at this stage. It's a blow to have anybody out but we just have to get on with it,” Kenny told The Sun.
“Without any disrespect to the players who are injured, the most important ones are the ones who are fit because they are the ones who can be picked.”
Andy Carroll has promised to start delivering for England on a regular basis after snatching his first goal in an England shirt in the 1-1 draw against Ghana.

The Liverpool forward was given the nod to start against the Black Stars and while he looked sub-standard at times in the first half, Carroll produced a brilliant finish to score the opening goal for England after a fantastic team move by the home side.
Carroll's party was spoiled by Asamoah Gyan as he came up with a genius solo effort of his own to give Ghana a well-deserved equalizer in stoppage time. Nonetheless, Carroll was delighted to have scored his first goal and promised that there is still more to come from him.
Ahead of Liverpool vs Sporting Braga, Live Soccer TV analyzes the chances of both teams. Despite all their past successes in Europe, are Liverpool really the favourites to win tonight?
What A 1-0 Away Loss Means To Liverpool Against Sporting Braga
At Anfield on Thursday night, all of Liverpool’s past triumphs in Europe won’t count. The Merseyside Reds will be tied up in a 90-minute or 120-minute mission in their own temple.
In fact, the situation is real. Liverpool are on the brink of crashing out from the UEFA Europa League against the minnows from Portugal, Sporting Braga!
Fact 1: Liverpool will be forced to waste more strength by playing extra-time football if they clinch a 1-0 score line during normal time. This is not something they’d like to do since, this weekend, they have a tricky game away to Sunderland (against whom they drew 2-2 earlier this season)!
Fresh team news ahead of Liverpool vs Manchester United reveal that Steven Gerrard will finally play a role whereas Andy Carroll will start the match from the bench.

Previous reports explained that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard would miss the encounter due to a groin injury. But the midfielder has now been cleared to even start against Manchester United this afternoon.
Meanwhile Kuyt is expected to partner with Luiz Suarez upfront whereas Andy Carroll is poised to play a part in the game as a substitute. The ex-Newcastle United striker has been named in Kenny Dalglish’s roster only to inject more anxiety and excitement to the Liverpool vs Manchester United fixture at Anfield.
The Merseyside Reds’ list goes as follows:
Kenny Dalglish has refused to give the public a clue concerning Andy Carroll’s debut as a Red. But fans are expecting the striker to feature at last on Sunday, in the Liverpool vs Manchester United match.

Since joining the KOP on the last day of the January transfer window, the ex-Newcastle United play maker hasn’t been in action on the pitch. Andy Carroll has actually been working on his fitness and after a month now, he could be ready to make his debut as a Liverpool player. However, Coach Kenny Dalglish has decided not to confirm anything as of now. He told The Sun:
“Whether he will be involved on Sunday, I'm sure Fergie would love to know. But, we don't know yet.
The Merseyside Reds’ manager, who was pictured with Andy Carroll at a Boyzone concert a week ago,then turned his attention to Andy Carroll’s fitness situation before concluding with a joke:
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has reaffirmed that Andy Carroll was a good inclusion to the Reds’ team. Carroll is presently out of action, but the coach believes his comeback will be wicked.

The former Newcastle United forward was unexpectedly added to the Liverpool squad that travelled to the Czech Republic to face Sparta Praha in the UEFA Europa League, this week. Carroll was not able to feature in the match following his injury, but Dalglish is confident that the striker will prove why he was so expensive at his return, with a convincing display.
The Liverpool legendary boss is already pleased by the youngster’s work, and he would be delighted to see him on the field against Manchester United early in March, in the Premier League. The Daily Mail quoted Dalglish saying:
“He is a really good lad and really down to earth. That’s a value that I think is very important nowadays.

Chelsea and Liverpool engaged in one of the craziest transfer window ever as an incredible amount of money was splashed on new recruits.

The January Transfer window which ended yesterday brought yet another moment of madness in the transfer value. Like what Sir Alex Ferguson said, there is no value in the transfer market.
In a few dramatic hours of the transfer window, Chelsea, Liverpool and a few other clubs were at their level best in signing players. There were a lot of surprises but the best of the lot was the fact that Manchester City was quiet on the last day.
As Chelsea snapped up Fernando Torres for 50 million and Liverpool replacing Torres with the 35 million signing of Andy Carroll, there is a new look to the 10 most Expensive transfer deals in the history of football.
Andy Carroll’s claims that Newcastle forced him to make a Liverpool transfer have turned the Magpies into money hunters. However, Alan Pardew has tried to clear up issues by denying Carroll’s statements.

Just as Liverpool fans celebrate the coming of ‘King Carroll’, the player himself has revealed that it wasn’t his personal choice to land at Anfield. The 22-year-old striker, who is now the most expensive British player, made a few revelations as he told The Sun:
“The managing director, Derek Llambias, asked me to hand in a transfer request. So, I was pushed into a corner and I had no choice.
“I wasn’t wanted by them and they made it clear that they wanted the money. I flew down in Mike Ashley’s helicopter.
“I didn’t want to leave. I’m gutted that I wasn’t wanted at my home team, after everything I’ve done and the progress I’ve made.
The transfer window is over but laughter hasn’t stopped. Discover how Chelsea’s Fernando Torres has been the source of pure humour. Check that on Live Soccer TV!
Number 1 – Funny Chelsea Fans Slamming Fernando Torres Image
Just look at the image and let your imagination break free. Did die-hard Chelsea fans play the biggest role in luring Fernando Torres to London?

So ummm, what was Fernando Torres actually talking about when he shared the following comments with the media as he discussed his shocking transfer from Liverpool to Chelsea?

The January transfer window didn’t lack excitement. Chelsea, Liverpool, Fernando Torres, Andy Carroll and other names can tell you why. Live Soccer TV looks at last month’s top 10 football transfers!
The following list is not only about the most lucrative deals; it also includes some of the most shocking moves. In the end, one of the questions that will only be best answered through time is this: Which teams and players have been smart, lucky or doomed?
Fernando Torres: Permanent Transfer Done From Liverpool To Chelsea
Moved from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool for around £20M in 2007.
Moved from Liverpool to Chelsea for £50M in January 2011.
That must be THE transfer of January – if not of the year 2011. On the private life front, Fernando Torres is well on his way to being complete. Being married and having a child, what more could the 26-year-old ask for? At the club football career level, however, Torres seems to have more difficulties achieving his goals.
Andy Carroll is now officially a Liverpool FC player, but the striker has yet to enjoy his move. It sounds as if Carroll was forced by Newcastle United to sign for the Reds, just for the money.

Owner Mike Ashley has not seen his club budging in the ideal way in terms of finances, lately. Clearly, the club needs to be revitalized through the unloading of heavy amounts in its reservoirs; and the January transfer window came out as a crucial opportunity to better the Toon’s status among the other Premier League partakers.
With Andy Carroll being in great form this season and Liverpool showing interest in the forward, this was definitely a good chance for Newcastle United to fill their pockets. Although the Magpies highly valued Carroll, it appears they preferred to sacrifice him to prevent the club from sinking deeper in scarcity.
Hot football transfer news from the Mirror claims that Fernando Torres is Chelsea-bound whereas Liverpool are hopeful of completing a transfer for Newcastle’s Andy Carroll! Could this be really true?

Before the 11pm deadline sees the January transfer window close, Fernando Torres will become a Chelsea player. According to the Mirror, Liverpool have allowed the Spaniard to have a medical as it appears like a £50M deal will be done very shortly between the Blues and the Merseyside Reds.
This huge amount of money has reportedly opened the way for Liverpool to make an improved transfer bid for Newcastle United’s prolific goal scorer Andy Carroll. Earlier on, Kenny Dalglish’s side got a £30M bid rejected by the Magpies.
But recent claims from the Mirror explain that Liverpool are now hopeful of acquiring Andy Carroll’s services after splashing £35M on Newcastle’s table.
England and France will go head to head in a high profile international friendly at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night.

The game is a chance for both countries to continue their rehabilitation after disappointing World Cup campaigns that failed miserably to live up to expectations.
Fabio Capello’s England have performed well to date in their Euro 2012 campaign. England sit second in their group and have produced wins over Switzerland and Bulgaria by 3-1 and 4-0 scores respectively.
England will be using this fixture as a chance to experiment with players and give some fresh faces a chance to prove themselves on the international scene against quality opposition. Capello this week confirmed that controversial Newcastle United forward Andy Carroll and Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson will make their international debuts in this game. Young Arsenal left-back Kieron Gibbs will also be handed a start in the absence of Ashley Cole.
