Clearly the way to Mourinho's heart is to be past it, get sent off for dogso, get injured, or be poo poo.

Andy Carroll is quite good and it would have been interesting to see how he had progressed if he could have stayed fit under a manager like Allardyce that played to his strengths.

As someone who spends 90% of his time pointing out to people that their favourite mid-table striker is actually gash, I can confirm that Dean Ashton was better and could have been fully sick if they hadn't had to replace his ankles with bits of old tin

Allardyce wasnt actually any good with Carroll, he's had three good games in two years. All against Swansea.

I hate the lanky fucker so much.

I also hate Jonjo Shelvey, who despite making big announcements to the media about getting in hsape and hiring a live-in chef, still went out and got pissed on Thursday night (Rangel was his driver). And you could tell today with how easily sundrland broek throughour midfield.

Poor Jack Cork can only do so much.

Maybe he might live up to the hype this year. There's a lot of good crosses in the team now, he's going to have the best team built for him of his career. And if he can't hack that, send him for glue, or to Cardiff or something.

It's cute that you think he will actually play, he can't even put on shoes without injuring himself.

Wait was that not a joke?

"Carroll was thought to be nearing a return from a ligament injury which has kept him out since February, only for the England international to roll his ankle while putting on a pair of shoes."

I've seen him fly through the air, destroying Wayne Rooney and David de Gea in one move. No amateur is going to pull that off.

He's both our worst (in talent) and best (in performance) midfielder. Nearest thing we have to a hard man in midfield.

Speaking of injured West Ham strikers, Diafra Sakho just posted on his snapchat with his legs covered in ice packs. Possible hamstring issue. We now have 5 first team strikers and 4 of them are injured. The other one is Maiga.

I guess it's time to re-sign Carlton Cole. Seems about right.

When he was fit he could out-jump a lot of CBs who you don't usually see getting beaten in the air. Got to think his many leg injuries will have put a stop to that though, assuming he ever stays fit for more than 2 weeks again. RIPs Big Andy.

I always assumed he'd have to retire at about 31 from knee injuries because his whole game was jumping and carrying a shitload of weight, didn't expect him to be permacrocked quite so soon

Arsenal: Szczesny; Jenkinson, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Meade; Rosicky, Ramsey, Coquelin; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Gervinho.

This was in 2012. That had to be the worst arsenal line up outside of the CoC in like 20 years.

I'm pretty sure I watched this match, but I don't remember it at all.
