Whatever did or didn't happen on the training ground last Sunday - Secret texts and money taunts? What else did footballers ever find to talk about? - you can be sure Louise Taylor had a lot of fun writing this.
But not half as much as I had reading it:
Newcastle's manager won a UN commendation for anti-apartheid campaigning but as Carroll waved insouciantly to fans at Doncaster it seemed Hughton had suddenly lost sight of the bigger picture.
Yes, Louise, that's exactly what did it.
UPDATE: Spot the subtle reference in her match report too. A lovely bit of shoehorning.
aaaaaargh... I wish I hadn't clicked on the links after deliberately avoiding any further articles on the subject since last Sunday. Mirrors and MakemLovingCows should not ruin the remainder of our season...
ReplyDelete3 points tomorrow, another goal from AC and who knows - a public reconciliation?!! (yeah, I'll keep taking those pills :)
