Surely these are good signs of a addict, betting on games that he has no idea when are being played and betting on games involving the likes of kazakhstan

1-1 Scotland

your mental if you would rather play Ameobi up front than Smith i dont think he's that crazy...... its a tough one, its like saying do you want stabbed in the left eye or the right?

Didnt see the game but overall was it worth risking/injuring potential match winners before what could be McClaren and Englands biggest match should russia lose tommorrow?...i take it he used this vital friendly to try out new formations and tactics?

Yeah he's faking it, lets play him v Liverpool anyways, Souness would have !

Yeah because he deliberately got injured!!! Mclarens fault for picking him in a pointless f****** friendly. f*** me Bramble doesn't get the stick Owen does from so called Toon fans. Calling a Newcastle player, a good one at that, a w******. How old are you six. I cant stand Owen, but i agree how anyone can call him a w****** for getting injured is a joke. maybe if he was at a standard price and only got injured once in a while but £17million, 2 nasty injuries, a couple of thigh/groin strains or whatever hes got wrong with him! its a joke god knows why he was playing in the first place, doesnt deserve it! hes done fuck all to get his game in the past 2 year Viduka Martins etc all play international friendlys too are they also wankers? its annoying that he is injured yes and iam can fully understand anger at the likes of McClaren for playing these stupid games but Owen isnt at fault. I agree iam also looking forward to Martins/Viduka up front but id rather see Owen on the bench than injured.

I hope this pointless friendly leading to Owens injury comes back to bite McClaren on the Arse, Lets hope Russia Fail to win tomorrow and England are left with no fit Strikers to beat Croatia(?) next week.

this made me laff from the Falkirk msg board "Get him tae fcuk out of our defence before somebody gets hurt"

Iam Sure Pattison will be able to give you a full detailed report on that in January.. and are nufc.co.uk taking the piss by calling him toon star? he's a nobody!

quite sad, same thing happened last time we were there when they scored! Cant imagine there was much trouble as the police seem to have everything covered from what you could see from the buses.

Have a read of that article http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2007/11/13/carr-and-given-set-for-return-to-toon-action-72703-20100788/ you'll see babayaro has broken down again. That softens the blow of getting Carr fit then. if only we could get rid of the pair. we could surely sell there (very few) working limbs to some foreign country for a small fee.

Carr and Babayaro both fit...Has this ever happened before?

Lots of papers do have it in for us/Big Sam IMO One paper today said Sunderlands Team cost a fraction of the team we fielded - i cant see there being a great diffrence in cost in starting 11s

He seemed to enjoy the "Ashley buy us a drink,Ashley,Ashley buy us a drink" Chant Kept his wallet in his pocket though!!

well i seen 3 evolopes - great show by them

Every bit of footage I saw of him, barring the goal, he was seated. Incorrect statement. I was a couple of rows behind him on the other side of the aisle and I thought he was standing for most of the game. Several of his mates (or minders) all had Smith shirts on so they were easy to spot. I think he came through the turnstyle as well. There was a huge cheer as he passed through the concourse to his seat. Yep stood in the cue like everyone else, Couldnt care less if he is only doing it for PR (i dont think he is) before he arrived the clubs debt was out of control and cant imagine many others would have took it on.

Lets just hope he keeps his shoes on!!

i think he's in a lose lose situation, if he does not celebrate the fans might take a dislike to him, That said if he scores a late winner id say there fans couldnt care less if he did or didnt.

Bye knobrash / Bit harsh to ban him, poor lad has probs been waiting weeks to be able to say it
