Nice to see Owen found his level, up against the might of Oman and Peers

It would've been a different story if Rovers players had been playing. Dan Murray would've had him in his pocket.

[Hobo]

It probably would've been different if an actual team rather than a select XI were playing them. They really didn't look all that great.

[Adam]

Is that the new Man Utd away kit? It looks very 90's. Very nice goal by Owen too, would be better if he managed to do it against a decent side though

[The Future]

Glad he's fit though, I think he's been a good buy. He cost nothing and apparently earned less then Ben Foster and I don't think it's a co-incidence that Rooney's goal poaching instincts got so much better with him around and he's a good person to teach Macheda and the like

[ONO]

Fit for how long though?

Good News for Newcastle fans!

Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has grown a moustache in an attempt to help build team spirit at St James Park for the coming season.

Sourece: Daily Mirror

[Blue Rosler]

Now he'll be irresistable to Sol Campbell

[Crybaby Bunting]

I got a wonderful text this morning.

Liverpool to be bought by the Chinese government? Does that mean that once a player gets sent off they'll be down to Tiananmen?

[The Quasi Juice]

Zenit St Petersburg are considering a £21m bid to take Chelsea defender Yury Zhirkov back to Russia.

Full story: Daily Mail

Would be a shame but Chelsea might like the money.

[stokeriño]

Story has to be bullshit. Everything else aside, why would Zenit come in and bid £21m for a player who cost £18m a year ago and has spent much of the time inbetween injured?

Chelsea wouldn't sell him anyway, because all of a sudden we'd need to find another backup left-back and that's crap we wouldn't care to deal with.

[EddieG]

Well, Fabio Aurelio was released on a free transfer by Liverpool, nobody else wants him, so unless Liverpool want him ba..oh, nevermind.

[stokeriño]

Plus, Yury is awesome, and the only thing that prevented him from being on the back of my new home shirt is that he might not play too often (which is why he was pipped by Malouda).

[IAceI]

How will Barton be irresistable to Sol Campbell? He looks nothing like a mars bar.

[Blue Rosler]

Cambell is a gay boy, and I presume Barton will be getting a handlebar moustache (nothing raises spirits more than a silly moustache), so dear old Sulzeer will want to bumlove him.

Maybe with a mobile phone.

[Sam]

Cept Campbell just got married to a woman...

[EddieG]

Cover up story, obviously.

[Hobo]

I think Bluey has a hidden crush on Sol Campbell!

[lanky316]

Cept Campbell just got married to a woman...

Elton John had a wife too. There's loads of cases of gay men marrying women because it's the "right thing to do", given the long standing rumours about Campbell (given a little weight by his breakdown when a "gay England and top premiership defender" was about to be named) it wouldn't surprise me if it was a sham marriage. Surprised in this day and age people are still nervous of homosexuality in football, couldn't care less ultimately (anticipates the chants though).

[HailtotheYo]

'arry approves of this approach

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Young Boys of Switzerland is pretty much the best draw Spurs could have got...The team that finished second in the Swiss league last year and haven't won any of their three league games this season. Mmmmmmm.
