Carr's gone.. Anyone else want to follow him. Now's the time. I don't care if it's a European playing regular or not. If anyone's only half interested let them walk now. I won't post anything like when Gary Kelly or Dean Keily reitred. I just want the dead wood out. I'd sooner have a team of Football league players or dare I say it 11 Kevin Kilbanes busting a gut for me as a fan, than some of those moaning side stepping oul wans.
What's your source?
"Retiring" twice from international football.
Stephen Carr, international hero......
Don't let the door injure you AGAIN on the way out Stephen!!Quote:

:D I wonder if this will takeover from the "Metartarsal" as the new Designer Football Injury..?;)Quote:

Just hope Finnan doesn't follow him......
Good summary, NMcD. As a Spurs fan, I can only conclude that the "grumpiness" derives from his getting big headed after his early success with Spurs, then expecting everyone to kiss his ass, even after injury and loss of form meant he was now only mediocre (at best). And eventually having to go to Newcastle, when Man U were formerly very keen, can't have helped his humour, either.Quote:

He is finished anyway and wont have a role under Big Sam in Newcastle

Does anyone know what Tuff Paddy thinks about Stephen Carr. Trying to find his views but can't seem to find them anywhere:)
Who cares?
What always amazed me was the fact that international managers played him before Finnan after Finnans outstanding Japanese World Cup.
:D...sadly your humour seems to have been overlooked;)Quote:

A career where the quality of his play went in the opposite direction to the size of his pay packet.
Belongs to a select few for whom playing for their country always seemed to be a chore.
I won't miss him. After he left Spurs he just wasn't the same player. He's on the wrong side of thirty now so it's time to move on. Finnan will be our first choice right back until the 2010 World Cup anyway.
