Since leaving Newcastle, Andy Carroll seems to have suffered badly from the over hyping of his £35 million move to Anfield. He’s had a poor season and a half with Liverpool compared to the excellent standards he achieved with relative ease at Newcastle, but with the European Championships coming up [...]
The 2008–09 season saw an end to Newcastle United’s 16th consecutive seasons in the top division of English football. A nightmare season which saw the club relegated from the Premier League to the Championship, the first time the club had been relegated since 1989. Things had been fairly positive at [...]
