summed up here...

Andy Carroll will pick up a £150,000 loyalty bonus from Liverpool next month despite making only 13 starts since his £35m move from Newcastle.

Jesus. What I could do with just a tenth of his loyalty bonus.

First holiday in years with the little'n, deposit on a house, new car, year off, season ticket for the next 30 years, obtain an alcohol problem...

Another nail in the supporter-player respect coffin. He's a fucking cart horse who's been there 5mins, has barely played and apparently hasn't been living an athlete's healthy lifestyle.

By that reckoning a previous employer owes me £15,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000 for all the years of 80-90 hour mostly unpaid weeks I did, doing several useless cunts jobs for them with nee thanks from anyone.

the last bonus i got from work i gave to the animal shelter. wonder how many of those nobheads bother doing anything like that with their ridiculous amounts of money that no one human actually needs to live a very comfortable life.

i know kuyt does a lot of charity work at liverpool.

He is only on £75k/wk and by rights if he was transferred for £35M he should be on about £130k/wk so Liverpool are getting off cheap.
