Strange times. Michael Owen’s banging them in on our
The Michael Owen transfer is a strange one. When he was being linked with Everton I was defending him to a Toffee, pointing out that he doesn’t actually miss many games (plays more than Torres, for example) and will score goals for any team who gives him the service. Then he goes and signs for us and I’m less than enthused. I’m also not disappointed. Is he better than Tevez? In my mind, yes, or at least he is much more in line with what we need; a goalscorer. If he plays, he’ll get a decent return of goals but he isn’t the player that was superb for Liverpool and Real Madrid. Don’t let people tell you he was bad at the Bernabeu, he had an excellent goals/min ratio and was a victim of the Galactico ethos.
As for Tevez, well I wish I could say good luck to the fella but I can’t. I’m disappointed in the magically changing attitude of many fellow Manchester United fans who have now decided that he’s not a great player and that his attitude does in fact stink. A shame it took Tevez to be so blatant with his repugnant behaviour but they got there in the end, no?
Anyone have the misfortune of seeing our first game against Malaysia XI? What a woeful spectacle that was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two teams pass the ball directly to each other as often in my life. It looks like Nani is getting his chance. Anyone who watched that game will be crying over that statement. A goal doesn’t hide his overall ineptitude.
I’ve got a choice tonight between watching today’s game replayed on MUTV and Ronaldo’s debut for Real against Shamrock Rovers. The joy! I’ve already been told Owen has scored again but I’ve avoided finding out the exact result. I’m on tenter hooks.

Don't worry ... we won. Hard to read too much into pre-season games ... either good or bad but we still seem to have a good team :P Cheers: Mikey
