Souness: We Expect 'Trouble' From Bellamy

Graeme Souness, Craig Bellamy. Of course the pair will fall out. They have done already, and certainly will do again - but the Magpies' boss says that he is not at all concerned. Bellamy gets goals, and a team pushing for a place in the Champions League wants goals. Three in the last three games for Bellamy, and nine in total this season.

SOUNESS:

"He's always full of beans. We had a run-in in the early days and since then, I've not had one reason to complain about him.

"He's somebody who hates losing, somebody who oozes enthusiasm in every training session and every game of football we play. He's a nark, complains all the time - and I love that in players because he's got a desire about him which is very special.

"We will cross swords again, I guarantee, before very long, but as long as he shows me that enthusiasm, that determination to win games, that never-say-die attitude, he and I will never have a lasting problem."
