Pardew’s Chicken-and-Ball Theory…
Hold onto your shin pads, folks! It seems Alexander Isak’s noggin is doing somersaults like a misbehaving ball boy caught in a tornado! The magnetic forces of Liverpool were so intense that his brain cells decided to waltz their way to Anfield! Or so former Toon wizard, Alan Pardew, suggests. Apparently, Isak had a face-off with a big scary (and not to mention, imaginary) transfer dragon when Liverpool came knocking like a postman with a special delivery!
Eddie Howe, the wise Magpies chief, decided to grant Isak a sabbatical during the Celtic friendly. Pardew, peeking through his crystal football, claimed that every teammate is ready to form a human pneumatic tube to Anfield if the Swede wants out. Yep, they’d even whistle ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ in reverse for good luck! It’s not every day one contemplates swapping Geordie fog for the Scouse sun, eh?
Pardew warns, ‘Oh mighty Eddie, wisdom and balance are key here!’ Like a juggler with one too many oranges, Howe has to play this carefully. Newcastle may hesitate to lose their Swedish sensation, but think of it as trading a golden eagle for a whole merry band of seagulls ready to dive-bomb onto the Premier League stage in some dazzling Champions League jest! What’s next? Perhaps moss-covered stripes for a new look at St James’ Park?
