Michael Owen
Michael Owen is an established England striker and after an illustrious club career playing for Liverpool and Real Madrid, now plays for Newcastle United. Known for his deadly finishing skills and recently, his fondness for getting injured.
Michael Owen is responsible for his non-selection at club and country
0-0 at La Mestalla stadium and Sir Alex Ferguson, late in the second half, looks to his bench. He needs a goal badly and he knows it. Manchester United threw two points away at Old Trafford a few weeks earlier against Rangers and needed to atone. A draw would heap pressure onto the three-time Champions…
Michael Owen; caught between a bench and a League title
Michael Owen has hit the goal trail in Manchester United’s last two games but still faces a battle for a regular starting spot at Old Trafford. Life on the bench is the price he must pay to fulfil an ambition.
Would A Change In System Bring A Change In Results For Manchester United?
Once more, it’s a tale of Manchester United shooting themselves in the foot. Such talent oozing from the walls of Old Trafford, but thus far this season, United have failed to produce the desired results on the road. United are uncharacteristically chucking goals (and points) left and right and that worrying trend shows no sign of…
The FA Umbro Fives 2010 – 5-A-Side with a Wembley Final
Fabio Capello gave David Beckham the chance to end his international career at Wembley but Becks denied. Don’t make the same mistake as he did. It’s not like you’re The David Beckham (if you are, you shouldn’t be reading this). Qualifiers will take place all over England throughout September and early October. Winners will be…
Ten Premier League Milestones
1. Manchester United are only six points short of earning 1500 in the Premier League. With an average of 2.15 points per game, Alex Ferguson’s side are unsurprisingly the most successful team in the league’s 17-year history. 2. Kevin Davies needs to commit 34 more fouls to take his Premier League career total to 800….
Manchester United 2010/2011 Season Preview
Manchester United have enjoyed a successful pre-season, putting in some good performances and scoring plenty of goals. I’m not for one moment suggesting that because we got a result against the MLS All Stars we’re going to breeze the Premier League, but over the past month we’ve been given a real taste of what could…
Real Madrid Rejects poised for Champions League Glory
Like so many of you out there I’ve long since lost all respect for Real Madrid and how they conduct their affairs. The malaise born out of the ‘presidential’ system seems to me to tarnish the clubs image rather than enhance it and the side effect that it channels through the media is, frankly, an…
Inspired Red Devils Have Turned Troubled Season Around
Manchester United knew that retaining their Premier League crown was going to be harder than it had been the previous seasons. The loss of Cristiano Ronaldo would have been a kick in the teeth to any club’s ambition. To make matters worse Tevez left for bitter rivals Man City which meant that Rooney was the…
England’s World Cup Chances: The Class of 2010 v The Golden Generation
Whilst we are used to (endlessly irritated by?) the hype surrounding every build-up to an England World Cup campaign, it’s fair to say that in 2006 much of the hype held water. Here was the ‘Golden Generation’; players who were worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the best that rocked-up in Germany. Yes, we…
England’s World Cup Chances: 23 into 11 Doesn’t Go
For the mathematicians out there you’ll instantly recognise the numbers 11 and 23 as ‘prime numbers’, meaning of course that they are only divisible by themselves and 1. For the football fans out there you will recognise 11 as the number of players you can have on the pitch at any one time and 23…
