Kenny Dalglish was pleased Liverpool overcame the "Andy Carroll factor" in dispatching the striker's former club Newcastle 3-0 at Anfield. All the pre-match build-up had centred on the £35million club record signing, who left St James' Park in acrimonious circumstances in January, facing the Magpies for the first time. However, he only made a 20-minute substitute appearance having recovered from the knee injury which kept him out of last week's win over Birmingham - although he was targeted for abuse from the travelling fans all afternoon

People.com :    In the end, it took a few great men to take down Osama bin Laden. So just how great are the guys who make up the unit credited for killing public enemy No. 1 in a firefight in Pakistan on Sunday? Meet the Virginia-based SEAL Team 6, who are expected to return to the United States soon without fanfare, then await their next mission.

“Their job is to kill terrorists,” Jim Hanson, former Weapons Sergeant with the Army’s 1st Special Forces Group, tells PEOPLE. “They are the most deadly shooters we have. These are the people we call on when we need to use hard, deadly force.”

Here, the few details that are known about this special force:

• Rule No. 1 of Team 6: You don’t talk about Team 6
There’s no roster listing who’s in the group, no photos coming out of the men who conducted the historic raid. When Business Insider contacted a former SEAL digging for more info, the response was opaque: “You know I’d love to help you, man, but I can’t say a word about Team 6. There is no Team 6.”

• Rule No. 2: Guts, but no glory
Team 6 is preparing to return to the United States for debriefing and a – very quiet – celebration, Special Operations sources tell PEOPLE.

“You won’t see fireworks inside the gates at Dam Neck Naval station in Virginia,” where the operatives are based, an active duty SEAL says. “But think, final movement of the “1812 Overture” and you’ll have the mood.”
