Ronaldo

I think they'll spin it so Michael Owen looks good. Something about him joining an unattractive side simply to get his England career back on track, professional attitude, all the usual words associated with Michael Owen. right, like that'll sell papers

it'll be a great day when they go down and we go up in 11 months time

Kick in the teeth for Rossi

yes

I realise I posted this last week, but Luca fucking Toni man, I've never seen such a poor italian striker

To be fair you did try to defend Owen's lack of body strength by listing his injuries. What absolute nonsense . Injuries didn't stop Shearer from going to the gym and bulking up

Ian Wright, Mark Viduka, Scott Macdonald

When he talks about his signing he has a massive tendancy to exagerate their ability. But apart from that, great book

probably

I think he just means as a defender. We're all painfully aware that he offers nothing creatively

It never ends

he's just turned 30 I think, but yes, not what we should be aiming for

i could pick out many faults in your superhero obafemi martins, too. they're both s*** and they're both a disgrace to the newcastle united shirt. Martins is far from my superhero, I just think given the circumstances he's done an ok job for us yeah, i'm convinced. Your love for Martins is embarrassing. this btw, Ronaldo is the biggest Martins fanboy on these boards Martins imo is a good player who hasn't done a bad job for us. He was very poor in his last 8 games of the season and the criticism is a reflection of that. Not many were calling him s**** in March

Nah, really it's quite logical. And 'one outstanding attribute' is wrong too. I'd wager several players who are faster than Owen was in his prime who couldn't match his scoring ability. He has far more to offer than pace. The main issue is that injuries have severely limited him physically to what he once was (which can impied shooting capabilities and upper body strength) and you find that funny. I find you very funny sir, but fair play. I think your loyalty is just a bit misguided

He's an ok player but not what we need for team morale, he's basically an idiot

You need your head read if you think injuries are any excuse for not having a left foot and upper body strength man, it's a ridiculous claim. He isn't the player he once was because he had only one outstanding attribute, and it's gone, along with his bollocks. Injuries aren't to blame for the fact he's a very average footballer

Which is why his physical capacity has been greatly reduced and concequently why he isn't the player he once was. Although he has enough mental and technical abiltiy to alter his game - if he stays injury free from now on. So what we can conclude with here is that Owen's carer has been ravaged by injuries and you're a complete tool for finding it hilarious. We can conclude that injuries are to blame for his lack of footballing ability? right, get a grip

He's suffered from the above all his career though, so you cant attribute them to injuries. but yes, fucking hilarious, especially any that he'll suffer in the future.

Injuries that have left him without a left foot, any power whatsoever in his shooting, body strenth that a 9 year old would be ashamed of, and of course the complete lack of bollocks

He's been relatively injury free for 2 seasons, you cant use that as any sort of excuse

Rather a sad attitude. It's the same circumstances which meant he missed so many games for us you know. http://www.otf2.com/forums/images/smilies/sorry.gif not being good enough?

I find it fucking hilarious that half the england strikers could get injured and he still wouldn't be in the squad

I can think of 7 goals he scored for us off the top of my head wikipedia says 5, guess thats where the NOTW gets their expert info from, wankers

what absolute nonsense
