Big Picture: Protesting Geordies, Ronaldo’s arrogance, Messi’s class, Amir’s ‘weak’ chin and fairway-invading kangaroos!

Toon much for supporters

Prior to Newcastle's 3-1 home win over Liverpool on Saturday evening, fans of the club made sure owner Mike Ashley knew exactly how they felt. Thankfully the angry Toon supporters kept their tops on, while Ashley will be hoping their victory will help placate their frustrations. Although that's highly unlikely.

Did you see what I just did there?
After seeing his spectacular free-kick almost rip through the Real Zaragoza net, Real Madrid midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo lets everyone in the La Romareda Stadium know exactly how good he is as his side swept the home team away 3-1 on Sunday.

Messi's tidy finish
In stark contrast to Ronaldo, Barcelona's own superstar, Lionel Messi quietly celebrates scoring the second of two utterly stunning goals in which he dribbled past the opposition defence before neatly tucking the ball beyond Real Sociedad goalie Claudio Bravo Munoz. Barca's 5-0 thrashing of Sociedad at Camp Nou on Sunday keeps them two points ahead of rivals Madrid.

Amir shows the Khan do spirit
His chin may have taken a pounding from Mexican Marcos Maidana but Amir Khan showed everyone it's not made of glass as the Bolton fighter retained his WBA light-welterweight crown on points. In front of a packed Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Khan triumphed in a brutal, yet thrilling encounter. Bring on Mayweather Jr. we say.

Roo are ya!
As Australia's Geoff Ogilvy prepared to play his shot on the 12th hole at the Australian PGA Championship at the Hyatt Regency Coolum on Sunday, he seemed oblivious to the fairway-invading spectators!
