CARROLL FOR ENGLAND? THAT’S ANDY

NEWCASTLE striker Andy Carroll is already being tipped for England honours, and William Hill are offering about the Geordies’ hero to play for his country during the current season. ‘Some pundits are already hailing the hirsute hit-man as the next Alan Shearer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we think that as England’s current striking strength is hardly at an all time high, he must have every chance if he continues to play like he did against Villa.’
CARROLL HAS BEEN CUT FROM 66/1 TO 33/1 BY HILLS TO BE TOP PREM SCORER THIS SEASON. Drogba is 9/4 favourite with Rooney and Torres 15/2; Anelka 11/1; Van Persie and Bent 12/1; Tevez 14/1; Walcott 25/1.
