Roeder delighted Carroll thriving at Newcastle

Former Newcastle United boss Glenn Roeder is delighted seeing Andy Carroll now flourish in the Premier League.

Roeder is the only Magpies manager to have seen his side score a goal at The Emirates, thanks to a ­Kieron Dyer effort in a 1-1 draw back in 2006-07.

Roeder, a guest of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley today, said: "They tell me since that Dyer goal, Newcastle have not scored in four league and cup visits to The Emirates but I reckon big Andy can help change all this.

"Yes, Andy has had a bit of a past. Like the time when I was manager and he went on holiday and dived into the shallow end of the swimming pool and came back with a dislocated ankle."
