Michael Owen to join Sc*m

[The Lone Gunman]

He also took another Owen that has been a complete failure..... guess who ?

The problem at Newcastle was they were throwing him back in when wasn't ready, and was playing in a team that weren't creating chances and had no morale at all.

That's utter sh*te.

Owen declared himself unfit pretty much all of the time, unless the England games (or team picking times) were looming.

The c**t just didn't want to try with us - he's a glory seeker, and Shearer talked him into believing that we were good enough to win something. When he realised we weren't, he downed tools.

Good ridence to the little tulip.

So who would you have preferred there? Tevez? Owen scored more goals than Tevez last year and had about the same amount of pitch time but played in a team who were nowhere nears as attack minded as Man U. I think Fergie would ahve been stupid to not take a punt on Owen. Yes he has had his problems but his record speaks for itself. Given that he will likely partner Rooney I can see him getting the Engald call sooner rather than later.

Time will tell on that one. He should have recovered from his knee surgery for this season. Then we will find out.
Hargreaves is one of the keenest and (was) most reliable players for both club and country. You can hardly accuse him of swinging the lead. Outstanding performances at all levels for Bayern and Manure and lots of plaudits for his effort in national sides both for european and world cup matches.

I do tend to work abroad so might have missed something. Most of the Germans I work with think he was brilliant here and most suggest Bayern should never have let him go.

Rubbish, you cannot predict an injury like that. Hargreaves is (or was?) a very good player who proved a lot of people and newspapers wrong in 2006.

United are in the second half of their 2nd pre season game against a Malaysian 11. Ok it's not a premiership side, but that's 2 pre season games out of 2 where he's scored.
