hahahaha man the Bild is such a stupid "newspaper"(imo it's more of a boullevard magazine) but it's only a bit rude, what really annoyed me was what they wrote after Italy won the semi finale.. but pretty much everyone seems to be sore loser in football. I can remember the polish press making wild accusations about a "western europe conspiracy" when they dropped out at Euro08

but at least they stick to just stupid jokes most of the time, the british press has a strange tendency to mention the war(s)("blitz the fritz" "herr we go" or illustrations with steel helmets etc.) when it comes to ENG-GER which is really distasteful imo

Yep yep yep, that he has, and I couldn't be happier for him

[Wing Zero]

Most Man united fans coundn't stand owen when he played for liverpool or Newcastle when I talked to them about him, they use to say he was rubbish (with much worse language), got injured, was a fag. Now all of the sudden Man united fans are loving him as he joined them. I'm not reffering to every fan, just pretty much everyone I met so far IRL.

Anyway, I don't think he will do well for United, he may be free but he is going to be most likely wasting time then scoring goals for united. He is going to get injured again, and no real pace anymore. He can't really hang out with the big boy teams anymore.

Good job hammering down England 4-0 at the U-21 finals guys, we (Italy) were close to beat you at semis but you deservedly won.

No mijority of fans like to have a player who they like and think will fit in the club well. Liverpool fans are an example of fans (The ones I know from Liverpool) who care alot about who they buy, even if hes awesome.

[KimmyChan]

I believe that Michael Owen will play much better for us than what he ever did for Newcastle to be honest

I have faith in the wee footie playing fella

[KiNA]

Woohooo!!

I love Man City!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

city are doomed this season

I thinks Owen would do great things for ManUtd.He has hire some expert on fitness with his own money.He keep his fitness on high level even when he was injured or not in action.I call that determination,that what Sir Alex see in him i guess.He score one goal againt malaysia team,talk about hungry eyes for goal.Go go Owen yeah.

(from what i heard Newscastle training ground are prone to make player injured.It is just a streettalk i guess)

[justavisitor]

I thought Man City has around 10 strikers at the moment??

they surely can play 1-1-8...all the defender needs to do is kick the ball high to the penalty area at the other side, and let those 8 strikers fight for the ball

[kayote]

the line up for City will have to have (cant spell names) Robenio, Teves, barry and adebayor for sure as they have paid a lot of money and these players and they are problely on close to 150 or 200 thousand + bonuses a week and they have to play.

so the way i see it is they can play 4-3-2-1
GK
Given

DL DC DC DR
Bridge Dunne Kompany Richerds
DMC
De Jong

MC MC
Irland Barry
LF RF
Robenio Teves
CF
Adebayor

that still leaves
Jo (18M they bought him for, Not too sure if he has left yet for Everton)
Cicado
Santa Cruz
Write Phillips
Bujinov
Elano
Petrov
Ben-Hiem
Zabelata
Etuhu
Bellemy
Benjani

not too sure if some of them have left yet but, that is crazy to keep some of them on the bench. with the money they are most likely paying to those on the bench i'm sure it's around that of a Chapionship team's weekely wadges of the whole team.

as a chelsea fan TBH if Terry is having the tinyest hint of doubt than he should leave and just go to where the money is. go ruin your carrer before the world cup.

[KiNA]

Jo on loan at Everton (extended from last season)

Regarding Malaysia XI vs ManU .. All I can say, that guy is like a hero over here lol .. 1st goal is a beauty tho

ManC can play 2-4-4

Adebarndoor, Cruz, Tevez, Robinho.

[justavisitor]

Since ManC has so many strikers, if they can get a good defender (Terry), perhaps they can play 4-1-3-2 (from 4-2-3-1)

and I am sure Terry will have a lot of chance to practise his defending skill if he moves to ManC..he will be fully prepared for the world cup

Robinho is the best of City!

i mean in the sense of playing compatative Europian Football. by playing the europa leauge or CL. all of that gives you an added edge.

[justavisitor]

I understand what you mean...my comment was more like a joke--saying that ManC defense line will be so weak (since they only purchase strikers) therefore Terry will have more than enough chance to practise his skill if he moves to there XD

Seriously tho, of course playing in CL will be a lot better, especially before the world cup..I agree with you 100%
