Not that I know, but when I next se him I'll ask. I occasionally bump into him as his son plays for a team at the same age group as my lad. When he is not on Premier League duty, he runs the line for his son's team and has actually reffed a couple of games we have played against them. Eighteen months ago he reffed a friendly between our sides and he got the timing s wrong and played 45 minutes in the second half as he forgot it should be 40 minutes. We were leading 3-2 at the time and I joked to their manager that he was just keeping going until his son's team equalised... we then scored in injury time after the 45!!!
We gave him some stick about that! He is a really nice bloke too. When they were much younger, he reffed a cup game between the teams and he brought a Premier League pin badge along for each of the players and they had team photos with him... back then at U'9s or 10s, he was a bit of a celebrity to them.
Call that a bender....they looked better than our lads.
I suggest that we feel a lot more understanding when Saints players went on the town, than we would if we'd been beaten 3-0. Do players have any idea what fans will make of this....or even care.
You have to wonder, don't you? I think many of them just don't care about the fans, just where their next pay packet is coming from ........
Photo in there of Andy Carroll asking for his gherkin to be removed from his cheeseburger, so as not to injure himself with the extra weight.
Who actually eats those gherkins? Most people I know remove them at point of consumption...all those pickles that died in vain.
Seems to be a bit love or hate, and judging by how long they've been sticking them in, I'd say more love......
It's an American thing....they actually eat whole ones from a jar
How many Brits would make a burger at home and add a pickle?

Used to hate the pickle/gherkin in the burger, and would always give it to my son. Now I love them - my changing food tastes as I age are quite amusing as I now eat a lot of things I would never consider eating, in the past.
I was actually converted to the pleasures of gherkin eating by a French couple we stayed with, "Tu n'as jamais manger les cornichons? Bof!" Now I could easily eat a whole jar of them, if I didn't value the company of my family and friends...It's an American thing....they actually eat whole ones from a jar
I do. Love a good pickleIt's an American thing....they actually eat whole ones from a jar
I eat them too. Used to pick them out as a little kid (because I saw someone else older do it, I think), then realised they're actually nice.
West Ham is investigating reports that Darren Randolph and Andy Carroll were drunk on Tuesday afternoon.....not from Sunday I hope.

I'm not sure eating whole gherkins from a jar is an American thing. as I do that sometimes. Usually they get to a plate first though, but I've had the fridge door open and popped a gherkin in my mouth whilst I'm deciding what to cook.
