We’ve all been told by football experts that if there’s one striker you would want in your team in a relegation struggle, it’s Michael Owen.
Michael Owen – can he score some goals to save Newcastle?
But Michael just hasn’t produced the goods, just like he hasn’t produced the goods for Newcastle in his 4 seasons at the club, and he is in danger of being one of the worst buys ever in Premier League history.
There’s still time to change all that of course and a couple of goals, when they count, like against Middlesbrough next Monday night could quickly change things. Newcastle will save millions and millions of pounds if the club can avoid the drop, so goals from Owen will make his huge wages even seem worth while – if we can avoid the drop.
We feel a bit sorry for Mike Ashley, yes we know that may come as a bit of a shock to our readers, but there’s precious little Mike can do about things right now, and he’s just like any other fan.
The big difference is that Mike will stand to lose at least £100M if we get relegated – and we cannot believe he can still watch the games. 
Yes – we know it’s probably his fault and all that, but he’s also going to be losing a fortune for those mistakes, that he admits he has made at Newcastle this season. It’s hard for us to watch these games these days and we will not lose a penny, just some beats of the heart.
Alan talked about Michael Owen to Setanta Sports, and he was asked whether he thought Michael was fully fit, even now:
“He didn’t have a pre-season behind him so probably the answer is ‘no’,” “He did miss a chance the other night against Portsmouth that you’d expect him to put away.”
“But so did Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins, so it’d be unfair to single him out.” “I’m looking for goals from all of them.”
“That means I’m trying to jig and use the players I’ve got available to me, whoever is not injured as they can’t be involved. “I’m trying to get formations or players out who will get us a result in that particular game.”
It’s more than ironic that Alan Shearer, one of the greatest English goal-scorers of all time, is having trouble with his own strikers, who cannot seem to hit the net for love nor money.
Just for thee record Alan played 733 first class games in his career with Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United and scored an amazing 379 goals. That’s just an unbelievable record of over 51% of goals per appearance. Wow!
Hey, maybe we need an own goal from Middlesbrough on Monday night to get us going. Do you think they’ll oblige?
It’s either that or getting Alan to bring his boots along for next Monday.
Comments very welcome.

No as we dont have the midfield to create chances for him.
2 DJG // May 6, 2009 at 6:07 PM
Simple answer no.. these days he cares more about helecopters and horses than high balls and heel flicks.
3 dveselis // May 6, 2009 at 6:12 PM
Oh, I thought that he has already gone away, haven`t seen him lately on the pitch…
4 DJG // May 6, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Have you noticed how he avoids the ball and trys to stay un-injured (wouldn’t say fit) so that some club like Wigan will want to take him on a free.
5 huss37 // May 6, 2009 at 6:18 PM
Owen will never get a goal unless he turns into one of his much beloved horses and grows four legs and learns how to run….Everton here i come…(thank F*ck)
6 JJJ // May 6, 2009 at 6:21 PM
No, in all likely hood Owen wont score and has been no better than average over the past 4 years (if average)…
But Looking at the squad, we probably have no choice but to play him.
Starting line up,, I’d go for:
————————Harper—————————
S Taylor——-Beye———–Bassong———-Duff
—————————-Butt—————————
———-Guthrie———————-Jonas————
—————————Owen————————–
——————-Viduka——-Martins—————-
7 Pedro // May 6, 2009 at 6:43 PM
I can’t see him starting against middlesborough. I hope Viduka notches one past his old club, these things happen! Oh an if Ste Taylor isnt fit then i pray to god big al drops Coloccini and calls in young Edgar.
Edgar will come good for us, and with him S. Taylor and Bassong (assuming we dont get relegated and he stays) we can bin off Coloccini and Cacapa, then we’d only need bring in another and we’d be set for CBs!

We often criticise players for their lack of loyalty and yet we seem desperate to rip this kid to shreds mercilessly.
Yes, of course, circumstances suggest in the past he has conveniently reached match fitness around crucial international games/tournaments.
Yes, of course, we have clearly missed the best of this player.
Yes, his form has been bitterly disappointing of late, particularly under the circumstances when we need him to perform most.
He cost us an awful lot of money and admittedly has played too few games to begin justifying either his price tag or his wages.
But last season he played a vital role in keeping us in the Premiership.
His ratio is 38% for us, or something close to that and apparently “he is in danger of being one of the worst buys ever in Premier League history”.
Really though Ed?
9 reillers // May 6, 2009 at 6:55 PM
No. Simple as that. I’ve said it for a few seasons now. He never really has come good fo us. He’s always injured. He only ever scores off other peoples hard work.
He is over paid, overated and doesn’t deserve to be captain. He’s never earned it.
He doesn’t work on the pitch but takes plaudits on the rare occasion he does score thanks to other people’s work.
He is a has been, big name and that’s what we’re paying him for.
He’s always given me the impression that he thinks he’s better then the club and is doing us a favour being here.
I think he think’s he’s a lot better then he is and I think he’ll get a mighty shock when he wants to leave and no one on the top half of the table wants him.
He’s past it, just a big name who does not deserve his wage, the captaincy or a starting spot for that matter.

Cause he has.
12 komfort // May 6, 2009 at 7:32 PM
owen will play and score the goals to save our season..have trust in him..shearer has.
13 Waldo P. Barnstormer // May 6, 2009 at 7:46 PM
BowburnMag I think I may have to agree with Ed as regards Owen being one of the worst buys in the premiership. When you take into account Buying cost, Wages, Medical Bills against Goals and Games at the end of this contract the estimated cost of him and his wages are approx£39 million before medical expences.
For 69 league apperances and 26 league goals which is just about 44% of apperances and 37% goal ratio. Is that really worth £39 million?

15 Rorycn // May 6, 2009 at 8:37 PM
To be fair if it’s fair enough to single him out for praise and be told what a talent he is it’s fair to single him out for criticism when he’s crap.
16 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 8:40 PM
I worked it out the other day, appearance-wise Owen’s goals have cost us just over 600k a piece.
…if he can get us 4 or 5 over our next 3 games it might just ‘balance the books’ though! Come arn Michael ye little fker!
17 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 8:41 PM
…*600k a piece in relation to his transfer fee.
18 NicoGF // May 6, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Ed, we are bored of the same news over and over. Bring on Nacho news. He’s the only one who can save us.
19 Big Dave // May 6, 2009 at 8:56 PM
NicoGF I take it Nacho is back in full training etc if he can save us. oh and hows he been doing in the reserves lately ??

great goal chealsea out
24 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 9:47 PM
By god Drogba wasnt happy, but I do feel for the official.
25 batty // May 6, 2009 at 9:47 PM
that ref in the chelsea game was a fckin disrace
26 batty // May 6, 2009 at 9:49 PM
feel sorry for the ref i wish ballack had of chinned the fckin c0nt
27 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Worky, credit due (pardon the pun), I never included the compo.
…still, I’d imagine medical/rehabilitation costs have probably bit a fair chunk out of that.
28 beyethegreat // May 6, 2009 at 9:49 PM
i thought the drog moment hillarious especially when he looked to the camera and said a gisgrace a f—in disgrace lol though the ref was crap and i do feel sorry for chelsea
29 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 9:51 PM
…agreed batty, for me Chelsea should’ve had THREE penalties, against 11 men.
Drogba will get a hefty fine for that hissy-fit though, especially swearing directly at the camera
30 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 9:51 PM
batty
The official throughout the game with awful but being confronted like that is not nice. HELL ON!!
31 batty // May 6, 2009 at 9:52 PM
beyethegreat but drogba was right m8 wasent he the ref was a fckin disrace

34 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 9:54 PM
chelsea penalties – you’re joking man, Malouda just fell over and drogba dived as ever)
handball rule is simple hand to ball which it wasn’t
Chelsea were bloody awful and thier lack of adventure let them down badly
35 batty // May 6, 2009 at 9:54 PM
toonfactor but what would you do if some one had just robbed you
36 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 9:56 PM
chelsea players constantly diving – scared to attack – 10 men behind the ball – agree the ref was poor – sending off was a joke – don’t think they really had a shout for a pen tho
37 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 9:56 PM
drogba had a chance to change it and he fluffed it – what a miss
38 batty // May 6, 2009 at 9:57 PM
stevep what planet are you on the 1 ten mins from the end was a stone wall pen the ball was going past him and he lifted his hand to stop it
39 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 9:57 PM
batty
actually when I think about it imagine if it was us, last day of the season- win and we stay up, and that happened!!!!!! Maybe im being biased supporting my country.
40 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I beg to differ stevep. 3 penalties for me still – but I’m not a referee!
41 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 9:58 PM
tho if it were toon I’d be going ballistic, to be honest as a neutral I’d much prefer to watch man u – barca, it’ll be amuch beter final to watch than boring chelski
42 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Shut up Redknapp stupid oaf, the last one wasnt a penalty!
43 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 9:58 PM
mate – if those had been against toon there’s no way you would think they were pens……..because they weren’t
44 neeraj // May 6, 2009 at 10:00 PM
amazing barca just had one shot on target and they scored
the ref reminded me of ROB STYLES
45 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 10:01 PM
@toonfactor – supporting your country eh!!!!
it’s kin chelsea man – which part of chelski is british – you’re having a laugh if the players think as you do
46 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 10:02 PM
stevep, I’ll agree with you on comment 39.
Must admit, I thought we’d see MUCH more action in these last two legs. I had 30 quid on over 2 goals tonight – maybe I am a little biased then
47 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 10:03 PM
stevep
I have absolutly no idea what your saying
48 beyethegreat // May 6, 2009 at 10:03 PM
baty
yeah he was but you can argue drogba deserves it for diving so much though the hand ball should have been given
49 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 10:05 PM
@batty – didn’t realise you were a chelsea fan mate – ball to hand – watch the replay
anyway regardless of that it wasn’t a pen because it wasn’t given – chelsea had thier chances and didnt take em – they hardly othered trying to get a 2nd goal and eventually got thier just desserts – tbh i dislike malouda and co, they constantly dive – that and the goal celebrations at SJP right in front of me
50 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 10:06 PM
@rod – oof unlucky mate
@toon – sorry mate I think that was meant for batty (maybe beamish was right about him after all
51 Toon_Factor // May 6, 2009 at 10:08 PM

Just had a strange phone call from my dad,
My Dad and i were on the phone in our weekly wednesday chat, we were just about to end the conversation, here’s how the end of the covo went
Dad: Ok then son bye
Me: By then Dad
Dad: oh wait hang on, just turned to TurkSpor (the turkish skysportsnews), looked at the rumours bar, it says “Newcastle will be signing Turkish Duo Emre and Arda if they stay up, Emre a former player is a big fan of Shearer’s and Shearer is keen to get him back, Also Kevin Keegans failed attempt to sign Arda will be reinjuvenated with a 15million pound bid from Alan Shearer provided Newcastle stay up”
Me: oh great, they’re great players, hope it’s true
Dad: ok bye then
Me:Cya
That convo is 100% true, i’ve been buzzing all night!
God please keep us up and make this rumour true!

@rod – yeah been down here for a while now, I’m glad that beamish has buggered off, while he sometimes came out with sense he seemd to spend more time winding batty and co up than anything else and it was quite tiresome reading the two of em constantly slating each other (sorry batty)
Good point about NicoGF – he’s like beamish on smack
61 batty // May 6, 2009 at 10:19 PM
ROD he,s trying say iam a racist m8 because i give beamish a bit of stick well iam not

stevep nicogf is like beamish on crack u meen
64 Rodzilla // May 6, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Turkish, they’d both be TOP signings mate, I never wanted Emre to leave (although he did tend to get injured a lot). And Arda, well, yes please!
However, I ain’t gona get excited over owt until I know we’re staying up. It’s frying my fkn brain.
65 stevep // May 6, 2009 at 10:24 PM

TF, just after my ponderings on where NicoGF got his information on ‘Nacho’ from, and the ‘is NicoGF or isn’t he actually Nacho’ debate.
…personally I’m pretty intrigued by it all. Why was he only expected to be out for 4 months and it’s now going on 9. Why did Hughton say he was “making good progress” in early February. Why have we been paying his wages for a whole season. Why didn’t we send him back etc etc.
I just ain’t heard anything about him and it seems strange that the official website never give us any updates – for a player that’s meant to be so good.
…and I wondered if you were ever curious enough yourself to look for news on Spanish (Valencia or the like) websites.
(sorry, my reply didn’t really need to be that long)

He surely has a business in hand, and he’s in the bathroom.

Owens days are numbered as a footballer, and not just at newcastle. I cant see to many managers willing to take a risk on him. His lack of effort over the past 2 years has been disgraceful imo.

Like some others I think he already has a job lined up, but needs to be fit to get it, we should let him train with Joey.
I hoped he would shine through and show his quality, Martins with an injured groin looks twice the player which says it all.
If he goes to Portsmouth we have been had.
We must try Nile Ranger for the first 15 minutes of the next match, he is scoring regularly and is on top of his game, full of positivity, if he shows class he could get a place elsewhere if we go down or partner Martins if we stay up.
There is nothing to lose at all by putting him on the pitch. Lovenkrands needs playing central midfield.
