Bad news for Villa and England.
"Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is not expected to play again this season after being ruled out for up to three months with ruptured ankle ligaments.
It is a huge blow to the 28-year-old's hopes of playing for England at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine."

Thanks, Hackett. I was positive that Sky had the rights for England games and i was checking the channels and it seemed they had every game but Englands on! Sweat over!

"Gary Megson is sacked by Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have sacked manager Gary Megson despite the Owls winning Sunday's Steel City derby.
The club sit third in the League One table, with 13 games remaining.
Chairman Milan Mandaric said he took the decision to give the club the best "chance of achieving our key aim of promotion".
"This was a very difficult decision but one that has been taken with the best interests of Sheffield Wednesday at heart," he added."
Seems a strange one to me, may be understandable if fired straight after three losses, but to wait until the local derby which they win and he gets fired.

"Liverpool keeper Jose Reina in race storm over TV advert
Liverpool's Jose Reina has been caught up in a race row after complaints that a television commercial he appears in is racist and homophobic.
Campaign group Operation Black Vote has complained to Spanish insurance firm Groupama Seguros about an advert in Spain featuring the goalkeeper.
They claim it "depicts black people in a jungle scenario as stupid, backward, animalistic homosexuals.""
