WWE Star Sheamus Visits Anfield ? Wants To Kick Gary Neville In The Face (Photos) >> Who Ate all the Pies

Those doubting Sheamus? Liverpool ceredentials should bare this in mind. When asked which footballer he?d like to slap around the ring, he replied:

?I?d definitely like to ?Brogue Kick? that Gary Neville fella. I don?t know what it was about him.

?I know he played for Manchester United and there is a big rivarly between Liverpool and them, but everytime you look at him he has an 80-year old granny?s face on him. He looks as though he?s eaten 10 bags of lemons or something!

?So it?d definitely be Gary Neville, I never liked him at all.?

Newcastle fans, what's your view on the St James Park name being dropped from your stadium? Another soulless sponsorship name, eh?

Wonder what would happen if the Glazers suddenly decides to rename Old Trafford to something like Glazer Arena/Park/Stadium.

I've pre-spent my inheritance on ordering a hit on Ashley and Llambias. That sum it up? It'll always be St James, years of tradition can't be wiped out by two slimey business men

Bring me back to the good old days where football wasn't all just sponsorship and wages.

He makes a very fair point there, our King.

Hmmm... I wouldn't want to think about it.

Yep, I thought that would be your reaction. I agree.

I don't have a problem with it. The Sports Direct Arena name will probably only be used by the club itself and certain parts of the media. To everyone else, including I believe most news reports, it'll always be St James' Park.

That's because it is a historic football ground. Sponsorship names only really work if it is a new build, like the Reebok or the Amex. Newcastle haven't done much else but attempt to capitalise on their good start to the season and bring in some cash to try and compete.

Welcome back lad, been a while.....

Well defended for the most part. There were a few worrying instances (Silva's offside in the first half, Johnson's wayward header to Villa in the 2nd half and Fabregas' chance right at the end of the game), but on the whole, a decent performance. I thought Scott Parker was excellent throughout. Lescott and Jagielka were solid for the most part as well. Welbeck was good as well and breathed new life into the team and showed that maybe he should have started ahead of Bent. Walcott was disappointing and ran out of ideas when going forward. He seemed lost but part of that was down to a lack of support going forward. Downing was anonymous and didn't do ANYTHING when he came on. I don't remember him even getting a touch of the ball.

Parker was defensively superb but inept in possession. Looked totally overwhelmed whenever he received the ball. Lescott was England's best player and epitomised their performance - disciplined and solid at the back.

Spain were sterile with the ball and seemed disinterested. Can't take credit away from England's defending though.

And they have the nerve to criticise us. Shut up 'World Champions' and enjoy your reign - England found you out, and other nations will as well. Let 'em pass the ball around and they'll murder you. However, as Corporal Jones said:

 

[BKB1991]

I am surprised at the attitude of the Spanish media. Its just a friendly but at the same time, England employed probably the best strategy against the Spanish side, to perfection tbh. Spain are always bound to have one or two good chances (Fabregas and Villa) but England defended bravely and made use of the only chance they had.

 

[JBlues08]

Those comments from the Spanish players and media are getting redundant really considering that the Barcelona players also always complain about oppositions that successfully get a result against them by parking the bus.

 

[shravi]

It's just sour grapes and a holier than thou attitude that I'm really growing tired of. Sure, they had the lion's share of possession but they didn't really do all that much with it.
