Michael Owen unveiled to Stoke City physiotherapists Stoke City’s new signing, Michael Owen, has been unveiled in front of Stoke City’s team of physiotherapists as he bids to secure a regular place on their treatment table. Owen, who left Man United in May, revealed he was keen to play a key part in Stoke City’s injury list. “I’m really looking forward to working with Stoke’s Medical staff,” he said “I can’t wait to not be fit enough to get started.” When asked what Stoke City fans can expect from him, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker revealed that he was fully committed to being unable to show them what he can do. “Stoke have a great set of fans and a great stadium,” he enthused. “I’m sure I’ll become closely acquainted with both of them as I spend most of my time sat in the stands” Michael Owen signs for Stoke Stoke’s manager, Tony Pulis, revealed that the signing of Owen will provide him with extra options. “Not having Michael available for selection will definitely give me something extra in post-match interviews,” he said. “Bemoaning my lack of options up front due to injuries will be essential to my success this season.” Stoke have revealed that official photographs confirming the signing of Owen could be put on hold for up to three months after he dislocated his shoulder trying to lift a club scarf above his head. The club’s Head Physio, Dave Watson, said: “We hope that Michael will be able to resume light scarf lifting by the end of November.” “If all goes to plan he could be able to fully lift the scarf above his head by the New Year.” “It’ll be like a new signing.” Read more: http://newsthump.com/2012/09/05/michael-owen-unveiled-to...

Yes they can pig out after sundown. Oops!

Wait until we give the Villa a right hammering and we'll all feel good again.

Is Mrs. Bimpy available for comment?

This really only leaves tomorrow. We dont do business on the last day (so I am informed) and today nothing is happening anyway.

To crack on we need a larger squad. Not being able to get our choices "across the Line" suggests we should be on Plan B already. Pardew not hopeful - being let down again (pards also being let down).

The window activity hasn't been exactly pathetic but the excuses will be.

Wont Mikey just trouser it?

It want just naive it was downright reckless.

Cisse definitely looks off the pace...but he's still the one that will make things happen if he gets a sniff of the ball 9which just isnt happening).

How much do we reckon they'd ask for Tiote?

What kind of biscuit? Its important.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this 'offer' hasn't been on the table for a while.

Aye, i thought at the time it was the start of many. How wrong can you be?

I'd say 95% of the blerks on here don't want Andy back. Yet when there have been polls amongst NUFC fans, the majority want him back. Eh! what's gannin' on like?

A very good start Monsieur Bimpy.

We all need to take a deep, cleansing breath and relax. A new anecdote about Mrs. Bimpy would be ideal.

I was going to withdraw from this, but can't let this stand. The black country? The black country is the area occupied by Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Dudley and other similar places, it's certainly not Birmingham, and any Brummie would recoil with disgust about being labelled a yam-yam. Mind you, I live in Warwick now, so don't know what that makes me. Yow all sound the same.

If he doesn't want to come then fuckit. Move on.

All they have to do is fix the walkie talkies. Job's a guddun.

Im with Otter on this one. Some poor schmuck will come in and think he has to read through the thread with new news about AC. For a denizen of the Black Cuntry, Brummie is surprisingly articulate and I for one would continue to read his contributions. But in its own thread.

Fook me, a mention of Andy carrol in the Andy Carrol thread....

Beardsley was, for me, the most complete player I've ever seen in the Black & White.

I think it's a valid point tbh. How many times do you click on this thread or countless others expecting maybe thread transfer news or relevant discussion, only to find its gone off on a massive tangent. It just messes up the board IMO. If people want to talk about Aston Villa, why not have an Aston Villa thread? This.
