Sunderland striker Darren Bent sparks internet row with Stan Collymore
Bent was deeply frustrated when Fabio Capello failed to name him in the last England squad despite being the second-highest English goalscorer this season, so it would not be a surprise if Collymore touched a nerve when he wrote in The Daily Mirror on Monday that the Sunderland striker lacks 'touch, awareness of space and an appreciation of team-mates' positioning', leaving Carlton Cole and Bobby Zamora likelier selections for South Africa. [LNB]It has certainly provoked an aggressive response on Facebook. The post in question, entered into the 'What's on your mind?' section of an account listed under the name Darren Ashley (Bent's middle name), which features personal photographs of Bent, read: 'Collymore should stick to smashing the **** out of his girlfriends and dogging in local carparks rather than commenting on who's 'out of shape'. silly *****.'

The 26 year-old caused a storm last July when he used his Twitter page, db10thetruth, to engineer a move from Tottenham to Sunderland by lambasting Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. [LNB]He wrote: 'Do I wanna go Hull City NO. Do I wanna go stoke NO do I wanna go sunderland YES so stop f****** around levy [sic].' [LNB]
