Carra: I’m Absolutely Fine
Posted on 17. Apr, 2011 by Liam Tomkins in News
Jamie Carragher has declared himself ‘absolutely fine’ following a clash of heads with team mate John Flanagan which rendered him unconscious. Carragher captained Liverpool at the Emirates today as they battled to a 1-1 draw in dramatic fashion.
The away support feared the worst after witnessing their skipper being stretchered off, his neck in a brace, receiving oxygen. These measures were only precautionary, though, and after treatment on site the 33-year-old was well enough to run onto the pitch and celebrate Dirk Kuyt’s last-gasp goal with his team mates.
I can’t remember anything. As soon as I came round I was absolutely fine,” said Carragher.
“It was a little clash of heads and these things happen in football.
“The main thing was to get the three points.
“I watched their penalty in the dressing room and then saw that we got our own.
“I was just praying that we scored because to get four points out of six from the last two games is fantastic.
“I went out onto the pitch at the end because I wanted to celebrate with the lads.”
Carragher was quick to credit the team performance at the Emirates after a number of youngsters and fringe players came together to battle to a well earned draw.
“Some of the players we had out there, because of the injuries we had, still qualify for the youth team so it was a really good team performance.” he added.
Despite declaring himself fit and well, Carragher will be a doubt for the next few fixtures as players who have been rendered unconscious are advised not to partake in sporting activity for approximately two weeks afterwards.

Glad he’s okay. It’s a shame Flanagan had to be the one that took him out.
By the way, did anyone else notice the weird/tasteless comment by the commentator?
“Flanagan said the two were really close in a pre-match interview. Looks like they got a little too close just now.”

Wenger is a disgrace – no humility, no sportsmanship..he’s as bad as Fergie. Never his fault, never his teams fault. It was a clear penalty. He just embarrases himself. These guys could learn a lesson from Kenny, Redknapp, Moyes, Ancelotti and get on with it. Even Mourinho is more gracious in defeat.

Lets be honest watching England is for Championship supporters it gives your every day civilian in the UK the chance to go down the pub get a little rowdy and maybe have a fight with a few of the local strawberry pickers..3 You notice that David Beckham has changed his hair cut to look like yours I dont think I need to elaborate on how horrific that is for someone older than 14..4 You find yourself actually clicking the links to the Daily Mirror website and reading articles that state D dive should have been against Arsenal for moral equilibrium to be restored in the world or other fascinating snippets like the woman driving the car Cudicini crashed into was an fan like a man smashing his pelvis to pieces is supposed to have somesort of humourous edge to it.
