The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

West Ham hope to complete the permanent signing of striker Andy Carroll from Liverpool as early as next week.
The clubs are close to agreeing a fee — believed to be £15.5 million — while negotiations with the player (above) and his agent, Mark Curtis, are at an advanced stage. Carroll was expected back from holiday today and further talks will take place over the weekend.
West Ham co-chairman David Gold said this week that the chances of Carroll signing had increased from, “50-50 to 75-25 per cent” and there have been reports that the big striker has been offered a four-year deal worth £78,000 per week.
The Upton Park club, however, still have contingency plans in place should talks break down with Vitesse Arnhem’s 24-year-old striker Wilfried Bony top of their list.
Chelsea’s Demba Ba has also been linked with a loan move back to Upton Park, while Wilfried Zaha, who will move from Crystal Palace to Manchester United this summer, could be a loan target.

Carroll didn't pay 35m
Carroll didn't sign himself.
Carroll didn't offer himself huge wages.
Carroll didn't give himself the 5 year contract.
I have no idea where all the venom for Carroll is coming from. If you must slag someone off, slag off the people that signed him.Comment

Venom?Originally posted by spider-neil View Post Lighten up mate, there is no venom here just a desire that he would **** off to West Ham and let us benefit from the paltry fee.

Meh. I'm not bothered whether Carroll stays or goes to be honest. I think he will be a good option if he stays because I think we are way too predictable and if he leaves we get a decent fee.Comment

How would Carroll affect our predictability? Unless you are referencing his ball control?Comment
