Andy Carroll helped Liverpool to a tremendous 3-0 victory over Manchester City with a pair of fantastic goals, yet it was his unusual corner kick routine with teammate Martin Skrtel that produced the most indelible images of the match.

On more than one occasion, Carroll assumed a position right behind Skrtel's backside, grabbed him by the hips and whispered in his ear (I'm guessing it was something to the effect of, "I'm the boss.").  Carroll seemed to be the one in control of whatever happened there, while Skrtel had the uneasy look of a young Pierluigi Collina letting himself go with a strange and exciting new experience.

Perhaps it was something Carroll and Kenny Dalglish concocted while at a Boyzone show, but it didn't seem particularly effective any of the times they tried it. It probably did succeed in making Joleon Lescott feel uncomfortable, though. So there's that.

And that's how Martin Skrtel got pregnant. The baby will be a minotaur.
