Well at the end of the day a person's health and their family is the most important thing and everything else is of secondary importance.

Frank Lampard celebrated claiming the England captain's armband by scoring the goal that secured victory against World Cup holders Spain at Wembley.

England's win was built on industry and discipline, epitomised by the performances of Manchester City's Joleon Lescott in defence and Scott Parker in midfield.
Number one side in the world now.;)

McLaren has stated today on Sky Sports that there is big difference between Premier League footballers and European Footballers.

Yes, Premier League footballers are a bunch of pansies, and are only bothered about the money and combing there hair and not about performing well.

European footballers play with passion, and love football.

Yes, I suspect McLaren (If Arthur quoted correctly) meant a large difference between English players and continental European players. Which is mostly true. European players tend to have a far better technical ability and are a better ability to read the game. English players tend to focus on strength and speed.

The Sunday Mirror have published details of a rant by NUFC Managing Director Derek Llambias that it's claimed was made recently within earshot of supporters.

Here's how the paper reported the tirade, in which a trio of former managers - Kevin Keegan, Alan Shearer and Chris Hughton - and old boy Andy Carroll all come under fire:

Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias stunned Toon Army fans by unleashing an astonishing, foul-mouthed rant in public on Geordie icons Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan.

The former casino boss — who virtually never gives media interviews — delivered a withering condemnation on the managerial abilities of the Magpies legends in front of startled onlookers in a Newcastle gastro bar.

Llambias, who along with Toon owner Mike Ashley has enraged Toon fans by re-branding historic St. James’ Park as the Sports Direct Arena, blamed Shearer for Newcasle’s 2009 relegation and claimed there “will never be a right time” for the former England skipper in management.

And in a blistering broadside aimed at Keegan, the Magpies MD claimed the former England boss is unable to cope with the stresses and strains of management.

Llambias railed: "Kevin Keegan can’t take pressure. His f****** head is all over the place.”

He also made a shocking claim in a meeting with fans last month that Keegan’s second coming as Newcastle manager in 2008 came about *because he was the preferred choice of potential Arab buyers. He revealed:

“Mike (Ashley) was selling to the Arabs and they *wanted Kevin Keegan. The Arabs wanted him, the fans wanted him — perfect!”

A candid Llambias admitted he was at fault for recruiting Shearer as manager in April 2009 when Newcastle were battling to avoid the drop.

Llambias said: “Shearer was my choice and I have to hold up my hands — the wrong choice.”

Referring to the relegation battle and the managerial team of Shearer and Iain Dowie, he claimed: “Shearer, for this, destroys us. He gave all the responsibility to Dowie. Rubbish!”

A supporter suggests “It wasn’t the right time” for Shearer. Llambias responded brusquely, and said: “It would never be the right time. Shearer? There would never be a right time in football.”

When one of the onlookers suggested Shearer is arrogant, Llambias agreed and said: “You guys have given him that arrogance.”

What will perplex Newcastle fans about Llambias’ put-down of the Geordie hero is the fact that days after relegation, Ashley issued a statement in which he said:

"Bringing Alan Shearer back to Newcastle United was the best decision I have made.”

Chris Hughton succeeded Shearer as manager and led Toon back into the top flight at the first attempt as champions.

Hughton was sacked by Newcastle a year ago, and is now manager of Birmingham. He was also in the Llambias line of fire when one of the group asked why he was dismissed.

Llambias responded: “He would never have taken us where we want to be. That’s my decision by the way.

"Chris can’t make decisions. If I am asking about a player, Ben Arfa? he says ‘I’m not sure, blah blah’.

"With Chris, he couldn’t cope with where we are mentally. We are aggressive. You need to be aggressive. I don’t want a manager below me who can’t argue.”

But of all the colourful claims made by Llambias perhaps the one that will not be disputed by Toon fans is: “You guys don’t understand how f****** horrible we can be.”

After last week’s act of soccer sacrilege at St. James’ Park, many Geordies believe they understand only too well. Newcastle declined to comment last night.
Unbelievable, The Ashley storm had sort of calmed until this guy ran a mock. Now brings into question, who the hell is running this club? Llambias seems to have a huge mouth and seems to be the one pulling strings.
