I think they were still filming a couple of days after the window shut, but I don't know if they got upto and including the Arsenal match. Hopefully not.
It might just end with Carroll walking into a sunset...

Does he think Gerrard plays for Arsenal? :unsure:Quote:
Everton defender Phil Jagielka, 30, has responded to criticism of the club's style of play by Steven Gerrard by saying "at least we don't pass it around for half an hour for the sake of it".
Full story: Daily Mirror
Jagielkas England career :rose:
Gerrard has gone back on comparing Everton to Stoke.
The art of the WUM is to never be contrite. Poor Steve, poor.
Hopefully Luis will come out and lambast Neville for diving and ruining the game :popcorn:
Suarez's diving celebration was great! That twat Neville should be hung out to dry like Suarez has been. Moyes must have been fuming.
I still find Rodgers very much like Brent. I just find him very annoying and smug, too smug for what he's achieved in the game.
He does realise how much Liverpool have spent over the years doesnt he?Quote:
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed his intention to add "two or three" new strikers to his first-team squad during the January transfer window.
The Reds currently have just two recognised strikers in the first team in Luis Suarez and Fabio Borini, with the latter currently sidelined until the middle of January with an ankle injury.
Rodgers did, however, emphasise that this season was always going to be tough for his side and that the days of big-spending under his predecessor Kenny Dalglish were over.
"I feel January is a window to freshen up the squad with a number of names," Rodgers told reporters.
"I don't want to say a particular number but, at the top end of the field, we need that help and support. That might take two or three players to do that. Luis SuArez is my only striker. Samed Yesil behind him is only 18. That is what we have. That is part of the pain and the building process here.
"This season was always going to be one of transition but that doesn't stop us being motivated to fight on. You have to be realistic.
“Look at the money being spent at the top of the table, £80 million, and teams that are trying to get into the top four like Tottenham are spending over £50m. It is a big task we have but a task we have to embrace."
Andy Carroll, the only other striker in the squad, was allowed to join West Ham on loan but can be recalled in the New Year but Rodgers has insisted that he is not thinking about recalling the striker.
“That is not something I have considered at this moment," he said. "Andy said he wants to play and I haven't thought that will change so much if he comes back. It is something that is always up for consideration."
Rodgers believes that Liverpool’s inability to offer Champions League football will not deter potential additions, instead insisting the history and stature of the club will convince them to join.
He added: "This football club and its history will always attract players. Look at Nuri Sahin as an example.
“He could have gone to a number of Champions League clubs and was on his way to a Champions League club [Arsenal] until the interest from ourselves arrived.
“The great support, the history of the club, drew him here. This is a club that will always draw top people and top players but we want to get it back to the top echelons of the game, which will make it much easier."
Bendtner is available for £35m
Some of the money we have squandered over the last few years has been truly horrifying.
But the owners have reigned it in after the money pissed down the drain last summer, and especially now the stadium problem seems to be moving along. Unfortunate for Rodgers, but that's life.
When did Spurs last spend £50m? Their net spend has been peanuts for a few years now.
Liverpool dodged a bullet on Dempsey by the looks of things. Spurs fans fucking hate him.
:haha:

I am definitely getting me one of these. And for the bargain price of £40!

Spurs VS Pool again :popcorn:Quote:
Liverpool are closing in on Schalke striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as boss Brendan Rodgers seeks to bolster his attacking options.
Spurs are also tracking the 29-year-old, who scored in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League.
Liverpool are keen to push through a £9million deal after the 29-year-old postponed talks on a new contract with the German side.
Huntelaar will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in January, as his current deal is due to expire at the end of the season
The Reds are currently struggling to cope with Luis Suarez as their only fit striker.
Who will get one over on who.

Suarez to score the wonder goals and Huntelaar to get the sitters. Could be awesome for Liverpool.
We still have that PL investigation over "tapping up" Dempsey.
Which will probably be found to be true and the ban will start on December 31...

Alan Pardew wants to bring Andy Carroll back to Newcastle when his West Ham loan expires.
Carroll, 23, is on loan with the Hammers - who visit St James' Park on Sunday - until the end of the season.
But Magpies manager Pardew is keen to re-sign him having sold the striker to Liverpool for £35m in January 2011.
"He's a Liverpool player and not wanted so at some point he's going to move permanently," said Pardew. "I'd like to think we'll be in the mix for that."
England striker Carroll scored 31 goals in 80 league appearances for Newcastle before moving to Anfield.
He returns to St James' Park along with former Magpies team-mate Kevin Nolan. And Pardew told BBC Sport he would also re-sign midfielder Nolan, who joined West Ham from Newcastle in June 2011, if he could afford to.
Former West Ham boss Pardew said: "Big Andy hopefully one day will want to come back and certainly I'd like to have them both in my squad now because we would be stronger for it.
"But obviously finances restrict me from doing that."
Pardew believes Newcastle owe Carroll a "great debt" for generating £35m for the club when he joined Liverpool.
The Newcastle manager says the cash enabled the Magpies to finish fifth last season and qualify for the Europa League.
"The fee was astronomical, we have used it well," he added.
Newcastle have signed Papiss Cisse from Freiburg for £9m, Yohan Cabaye from Lille for £4.8m and Demba Ba from West Ham on a free since Carroll left the north east almost two years ago.
"The position we are in, if I'm honest, is because we used the money from Andy's sale well," said Pardew.
"He was a brilliant player for us and we owe a great debt to him."
Meanwhile, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce says he has moved on from his turbulent time as Newcastle boss as he prepares to return with the Hammers on Sunday.
Allardyce was sacked by Newcastle almost five years ago.
"There has been a lot of water under the bridge since then," said Allardyce.
"Life moves on, I don't live in the past. I can only look to the future as best I can."

The £35,000,000 flop, the circle of life.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...an-IbrahimovicQuote:
Steven Gerrard has politely declined Zlatan Ibrahimovic's advice that the Liverpool midfielder should seek a move to "a big international club".
Gerrard has spent his entire career at Anfield in stark contrast to Ibrahimovic, who has enjoyed spells with Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan and is now at Paris St Germain.
The Swedish striker admitted he was a huge admirer of Gerrard but felt that he would benefit as a player by playing his trade on the continent.
He said: "Although of course Liverpool is a big club, I would like to see Steven at a big international club."For me, a fantastic player can make the difference in every country wherever he plays. I'm pretty sure Steven would do that also."
But Gerrard insists there are few bigger clubs than Liverpool and has no intention of leaving Anfield, where he has racked up more than 600 appearances over more than a decade of service.
"I'm a big fan of Zlatan as a player but I'm not going to take his advice," said the 32-year-old.
"I am very happy at Liverpool and in my opinion I am at one of the biggest clubs in the world, a team that has won the European Cup five times. So I'm happy where I am, but thanks for his opinion."
:haha:
Stevie Me :bow:
Well, he's right of course.
If more English players were willing to step outside their comfort zones our national team might not be quite so shit.
True.
To be fair to Zlatan everything (I say everything, the BBC gossip column) have twisted what he said to sound malicious and spiteful, and GP has a point about English players going abroad.
A bit late for Gerrard though...
http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...rendan-RodgersQuote:
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed speculation Luis Suarez could sign for Manchester City in a £50m January deal.
A number of national newspapers had reported that City boss Roberto Mancini was considering trying to take the Uruguay international to the Etihad Stadium, but Rodgers insisted he wants to keep Suarez at Liverpool.
"You will have to ask Roberto Mancini about that. There will be no bidding war, he's staying here," Rodgers told Sky Sports News when asked about the reports of a possible transfer."If we lose Luis then we have no strikers, so we can't afford to lose anyone.
"He is certainly not someone we want to sell or move on. He has been a brilliant player to work with and we want to add to our squad, not take people out of it, especially a world-class player.
"Luis has already showed in the summer his commitment to the club by signing a new deal, he is scoring goals and working well.
"I'll just continue to communicate with all the players and Luis in particular. Like I say, he's very happy here."
Rodgers :bow:
I get the feeling Suarez will be at Liverpool for a long time, he seems to love it there and I suppose he owes it to them after all the backing he's recieved.
I'd like to think so...
He does owe the club a lot. It would be nice to see a bit of that loyalty that apparently exists. He should be playing at a higher level and with better players around him though, I just hope we can do that. And hopefully that will start in January with the double signing of Huntelaar and Walcott on January 1st.
Yes he does owe Liverpool alot but then again Van-Persie owed us and look what happend.
A lot of similarities between Suarez and Van Persie.... just one letter difference. :ninja:
And it seems Chang has been sacked :lol:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...rridge-1445734Quote:
Liverpool have opened negotiations with Chelsea over a possible switch for Daniel Sturridge.
The Reds' co-owners John Henry and Tom Werner are ready to back manager Brendan Rodgers in the January transfer window, and have already made overtures to the top brass at Stamford Bridge.
They have registered an interest in the £15million-rated England striker, and hope to move swiftly when the winter window opens at the turn of the year.
Rodgers will push hard to conclude any talks swiftly enough for him to get his man in the first week of January, as he wants to avoid a repeat of the problems endured in the summer.
The Liverpool boss was left in the lurch at the end of August when he allowed Andy Carroll to leave for West Ham on a season-long loan but was then denied the money to buy Fulham's Clint Dempsey, who was sold to Spurs instead, as a replacement.
Rodgers has since made clear he wants to bring in two or three players in January, with a striker his biggest priority.
Sturridge tops his list, after failing to agree a loan deal to Anfield in the summer.
Chelsea want to sell because the young forward's contract is ticking down and he would be able to engineer a move on a free transfer this time next year.
They are also looking to raise funds to help finance a widely anticipated January move for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
Sturridge wants to leave the Bridge after being pushed down the pecking order by Fernando Torres - he has refused any talks over a new deal in his determination to go.
Liverpool have also made discreet enquiries about taking Jeffren, a former Barcelona striker who now plays with Sporting Lisbon, on loan.
Like Sturridge, the 24-year-old can operate as a wide man in a three-pronged forward line - Rodgers' favoured line-up.
The Reds' boss wants at least two reinforcements in those positions in January - after losing Fabio Borini to a broken foot injury, he's been using full-back Jose Enrique as an emergency front-man.
Jeffren has fallen out of favour in Portugal, and has been told he can leave on loan if the offer suits his club.
:haha:
