r bs who put a curse on Owen, and will someone please lend us £20mil to buy a new striker Whats even better, we just Chopra for peanuts
And a starting line-up of Ameobi and Luque...
It was reasonably clear when he went over that it was bad. It looked nasty as he fell, and the camera man followed the ball but you could instantly see Owen crawling off in the bottom of the picture. Much like Shearer's injury at Sunderland, they both aren't the sort of player that goes down and stays down (or crawl off on all fours) unless they know its bad.
We thought he was fit. He said he was fit. This new, horrible injury has come from nowhere.
The man appears to be a gentleman and the consummate professional. I loved his quote about having broad shoulders before last night's match. He does, and he'll need 'em. Far from being someone who is in it to sit back and watch the money rolling in, Owen cares about his teams, is a man of his word, and happens to be an exceptionally talented striker. He's not been 'disinterested' this year - when he's not been scoring goals for the toon he's been fighting to get back in shape for club and country.
We don't see him inviting Jordan to marquee parties; we don't see his wife writing crappy shopping columns in horrid rags.
With regard to Newcastle's situation, it's rather a shame we let Liverpool in on Bellamy without getting him back for some Glenda-style disciplining. Now instead of spending c.£6m on the Welsh tearaway we'll invest 30 million in Ronaldo. He'll come for the free Greggs cheese and onion pasties.

Dont worry, some blokes just been heard on the radoio saying Newcastle are going to get Fernando Torres and Ruud Van Nistelrooy
dis·in·ter·est·ed ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ds-ntr-std, -nt-rstd)
adj.
Free of bias and self-interest; impartial: “disinterested scientific opinion on fluorides in the water supply” (Ellen R. Shell).
Not interested; indifferent: “supremely disinterested in all efforts to find a peaceful solution” (C.L. Sulzberger).
Having lost interest.
It means precisely what I thought it meant

Sven has mentioned that Joe Cole could fill in as a striker, he's on form, confidence high etc. Seriously anyone who can accurately shoot, run and pass can do a strikers job so I don't know what the fuss is about.
His goal yesterday certainly is testament to that ability but he's at his best breaking from midfield.
Possibly play 1 up front and have 5 in midfield with two pusing up front aggresively would work. Gerrard and Cole to support lankey donkey.
If you look closely, the way that he actually shaped up to pass the ball was all wrong. He was unlucky to get the injury of course but sometimes players can help prevent certain injuries by passing the ball properly. If he was at the height of his powers and confident with his football, I doubt he'd have got the injury.
Then again I might be talking total rollocks.

He has been "free from bias" while playing football???
To quote the dictionary "In spoken and sometimes written English, disinterested (impartial) is used where uninterested is meant. Careful writers and speakers avoid this confusion."
I suppose we could add to the confusion by extending expressions of the type "he's partial to a cup of tea" to include "he's impartial to a cup of tea" for those who don't like that beverage.

Dunno about Torres, but van Nistelrooy is a definite possibility from what i'm told.
Watch this space
I don't think Torres will head to Newcastle as he will probably want to play in Champion League next season.
