Dalglish: Carroll may be going for Boyzone on Sunday!

There's no question that Kenny Dalglish' return to the managerial post at Liverpool has been great for both the club and the fans. It's also been great for the press at Anfield after years of deciphering Rafa Benitez' sarcasm.

At his pre-match press conference today, Dalglish refused to give a definitive answer as to whether the club's record signing, Andy Carroll, will play a part in this Sunday's clash with Man Utd.

When pressed further, he said: "Whether he's involved on Sunday or not - I'm sure Fergie would love to know but we don't know. He might not even be a substitute - he might be going to see Boyzone!"

Boyzone?

A few checks on the Internet have shed some light on the Boyzone comment (If you're a Liverpool fan and hate Boyzone, read no further). As it turns out, both Dalglish and Carroll were spotted at a Boyzone reunion concert on Feb 22.

As expected, there have been extensive reports by the English tabloids on their mutual admiration for the Irish pop group (I refuse to call them a band. A band comprises musicians). You can read one here.

Well at least that explains Dalglish' Boyzone reference. It doesn't, however, explain how both Dalglish and Carroll, who are 37 years apart, share a similar taste in music (It also doesn't explain how both men, despite the age difference, seem to have such bad taste in music). Even more puzzling is the fact that Boyzone actually has male fans!

Anyway, to Man Utd fans reading this, Boyzone doesn't have a show in Liverpool this weekend.
