Elizabeth Lambert is back and Lionel Messi as Maradona - the five best things we've found on the web today

Three is the magic number, and it's also the magic time on MirrorFootball when we bring you the five best things we've found on the web today to help your afternoon fly like David N'Gog over Lee Carsley's leg.

1) Ever wondered what Lionel Messi would look like with a Maradona-esque perm? Thought so. Lucky for you an Argentine magazine has obliged after fans set up a Facebook group suggesting El Diego's success in the 1986 World Cup was all down to his barnet. Check it out right here.

2) Remember Elizabeth Lambert? The American soccer player was dubbed the most violent women footballer ever after her exploits in a recent university match.

Undaunted, she's back, and this time she's looking for a fella. Rather you than me... (Props to Who Ate All the Pies for this one)

3) More women's football violence now, as this poor girl takes a free kick full in the face. That one's gonna hurt in the morning. (Big up to Dirty Tackle for spotting this one)

4) The manager's words "keep it tight for the first 20 minutes lads" were obviously not heeded by this team who managed to concede just two seconds into the match. (Spotted by Nuts magazine)

5) And finally, we come to a clip from David James' goalkeeping instructional video. Bless...
