Remember Anfield Cat? Well ITS hates cats. Especially LOL cats. They have ruined the internet for
everyone! So here are some other pitch invading animals... A dog has the time of his life! Here a
police dog sniffs out something dodgy in the match ball and saves the day! Football should be
played with ducks [.
Nottingham Forest's Robbie Findley had the chance to level Tuesday's match against local rivals
Leicester from 2 yards out, but make quite a mess of things... After Kasper Schmeichel makes a mess
of dealing with a cross, American Robbie Findley has the chance to tap in to make it 1-1. His
missed opportunity and the [.
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown is smacked in the head with a ball kicked from a Leeds
player, who I suspect was aiming for Robbie Savage before Leeds 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the FA
Cup.
Arsenal legend and ESPN pundit Martin Keown got hit square in the face by a stray ball live on TV
during the warm-up before Arsenal FA Cup tie with Leeds. The incident occurred when Keown was
giving his pre-match thoughts alongside fellow pundit Robbie Savage before a stray ball emanating
from the Leeds warm-up area [.
The former Arsenal defender now commentating for ESPN gets smacked by a ball kicked during the
Leeds warm up before the FA Cup third round match against Arsenal. Robbie Savage reacted as if it
was meant for him. Kudos to Keown for making a fast recovery. One of the toughest defenders in club
history.
Nude pictures of Robbie Savage stripped naked for Cosmopolitan Magazine to publicise testicular
cancer awareness and send women everywhere drooling have been released. The former Leicester City,
Birmingham and Derby ace-turned-BBC-pundit and columnist threw his kit off in a bid to raise
awareness for testicular cancer.
I will keep this short and I will keep it sweet. I was wasting a few minuted on Twitter this
afternoon when it was pointed out that Robbie Savage is a complete waste of space as a football
pundit, I couldn't disagree, I find his unique brand of stupidity and speaking without thinking
particularly offensive, in fact I often turn the radio off when he is involved in one of the phone
ins.

With all those cheeky photos of glamorous WAGs peppering the Pies' website, we thought it only
fair to give our female and gay male readers something to ogle, in the bright orange, bouffanted
shape of professional pundit and amateur ballroom dancer, Robbie Savage.

Luis Suarez's ban is huge negative for Liverpool FC but it presents a golden opportunity for Andy
Carroll to step in and really show his worth. Is he capable of doing this? According to former
Leicester and Blackburn striker Robbie Savage, Carroll is definitely capable of filling the void,
but only if Liverpool change their entire approach.

Okay, Cup Final. You're the manager. This is the biggest game of your career. You've been
exchanging emails with Capello and reading Zonal Marking endlessly, searching for the answers that
will bring home the silverware. You've made a list of things to tell you players. Then you made
another list.

Are Manchester United in crisis or is this just a blip? Hear from Robbie savge on why Fergie's
side have become "wormanlike" and hear what happened in the aftermath of Nemanja Vidic's injury and
the shock Champions League exit to Basel from our Manchester correspondent David McDonnell.
Former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie Savage has blasted Luis Suarez for
getting caught on camera making a gesture to Fulham fans, but he has also defended the Liverpool
striker over the 'crazy' charge handed down by the FA. In his weekly column, Savage was his usual
blunt self: "The FA charge against Luis Suarez for raising a finger to Fulham supporters is crazy.

Sometimes, like against Manchester City in the Carling Cup, we see a performance from the second
string that lifts the spirits and gives us hope and encouragement for the future. And sometimes we
get performances like last night which reflect little more than why these players are part of the
second string.
Kenny Dalglish is one of Liverpool's most successful managers, and is one of only three managers to
win the league with two different teams. Liverpool fans would almost certainly argue that the King
is a World Class manager, but former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie Savage
is not so sure.
November 27, 2011 will long be remembered in footballing circles as a day on which on-field
matters paled into insignificance. With the breaking news of Wales manager Gary Speed's tragic
death, the sport was sent into a sudden state of paralysis. Stunned shock and overwhelming sorrow
were expressed through an endless series of heartfelt tributes and fond memories from both those
who knew him well and those who didn't know him at all.
MirrorFootball Podcast: Robbie Savage, Rebecca Lowe and Dion Dublin join Steve
Anglesey
On this week's instalment of the MirrorFootball Podcast host Steve Anglesey chats to Robbie
Savage, who explains why it's time for Blackburn manager Steve Kean to go. Rebecca Lowe, presenter
and reporter for ESPN, broadcaster of the FA Cup, gives us her take on this weekend's second round
games in the world's oldest domestic cup competition.
"All we've done is cried. None of this makes sense. I don't know if we'll ever know."
Jonathan Ford, Chief Executive, Football Association of Wales.
For once Sepp Blatter said the right thing in calling Gary Speed, who died
unexpectedly on Sunday, "a model professional and a fantastic ambassador for the game".
Former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie Savage has been sticking the knife
into Liverpool again, this time claiming that Kenny Dalglish overspent on Andy Carroll, Stewart
Downing, and Jordan Henderson, players he feels are not good enough for a title-challenging
team
Savage, who recently suggested that Liverpool were '200m off the pace' argued:
"If Liverpool don't finish in the Champions League places this season - and after draws to Norwich
and Swansea, there's no guarantee they will - they won't even be in the market for the very best
players.
Almost two years to the day since Robert Enke took his life by jumping from a bridge in front of an
onrushing train, Gary Speed similarly took his own life.
Whatever the reason(s) behind Speed's decision, it will probably never become public.
Tributes have rightly come from across the footballing and political worlds including tweets from
Michael Owen and Robbie Savage.
Before I say anything else, let me just make it clear that I think that Gary Speed's death
yesterday, at the age of 42, is unquestionably tragic; an awful, shocking piece of news. It's
difficult for me to imagine a circumstance so terrible that hanging myself seemed the best option,
and I hope I never experience anything remotely approaching it.
Gary Speed, the manager of the Welsh international soccer team and an accomplished former player,
was found dead in his home on Sunday morning.
The Football Association of Wales first announced the news, with local police in Cheshire -
just across the border in England - adding more details later.

The loss of life in the sports world always runs deep within the game, and to lose a player like
Gary Speed saw shockwaves sent throughout soccer on Sunday.
The Wales manager was discovered at his home Sunday morning with the news spreading to every
corner of the Britain within the hour that he had taken his own life.
RIP GARY SPEED
Wow, we're still pretty traumatized as we write this. The football world has lost a
great man, an all-round personality and footballer in Wales national coach, Gary
Speed after he took his own life yesterday. Growing up, we used
to watch him play for Wales with our proud grandpa (Speed has appeared a total of 85 times for
country, which makes him the highest capped outfield player) and his suicide is surely a heavy
burden for Speed's loved ones and fans everywhere to bear.
Gary Speed: My captain, my hero, my mate, by Robbie Savage
I'm looking at the headlines and I still can't believe it. My captain, my hero, my mate is gone
and I can't understand why. He had the world at his feet and the ironic thing is that he was the
guy you would always go to if you ever had a problem.

Steve Anglesey chats to Dennis Tueart about his new book My Football Journey (Vision Sports

footballers' underpants, swearing and Andre-Villas Boas.
As I'm sure every Liverpool fan remembers, Steven Gerrard almost became a Chelsea player on two
separate occasions during the mid-2000s. Thankfully, he decided to stay at Anfield, but almost 7
years later, Gerrard still hasn't won what he desires the most: the league title.
Time is running out for Liverpool's captain, and former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers
midfielder Robbie Savage believes that Gerrard must leave Anfield if he is to achieve that
goal:
"I'm sure Gerrard doesn't regret turning down Chelsea and Real Madrid in summer 2005 to stay with
Liverpool.

I'm in denial. Hope Solo was voted off Dancing with the Stars. She and Maksim were ROBBED by
the judges. The Argentine Tango is a perfect framework for the two strong and combative
personalities. Their performance was interesting, ambitious and fun to watch. Nevertheless, Solo
and Maksim were given quite low scores.
Kenny Dalglish has spent over £100m on new players since returning to Anfield, and he has
repeatedly stated that the club's current squad is much stronger than it was last season. There may
be some truth to that contention, but former Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie
Savage believes Liverpool still need to spend a huge amount of money to be in with a chance of
winning the title.
