Owen To Miss Just One Match

Sir Alex Ferguson has today conceded that maybe he should have left Michael Owen out of our Champions League match against Wolfsburg in the week after our striker missed a day’s training through injury.

However, the manager says that after Sunderland, Owen will be available for our next game, which is against Bolton following the International break.

“We expect him to be available for the next game, it certainly won’t be three weeks,” said Ferguson. “We are quite pleased. Obviously it is understandable we wanted to take precautions given his past history, but we are quite comfortable with the situation. He did miss training earlier this week, so maybe we should have left him out. But he wanted to play and I wanted him to play. Thankfully it is not a big problem for us.”

    Nothing seems to be going right for United today. Sir Alex has no choice but to put Michael Owen on. The Liverpool are giving him a lot of stick. Chants of Judas Judas ring from the Kop End.

    93rd minute.

    Berbatov great BALL THROUGH TO OWEN, OWEN rounds the keeper. MICHAEL OWEN has won it. At the Kop End. OWEN has won it. Would you script it. The Kop are in outrage. Objects are being thrown but Owen is kissing the United badge and sticking two fingers up at them.

    Manchester United 2
    Liverpool 1

    Please God.

    What a fantastic assist from Giggs

    MUFC the Religion – We live in hope.

    Although it would be better if it was in the first 10 minutes after a midfield mistake by Gerrard, Owen sprints through rounding Carragher like he wasn’t there before slotting it low past Reina. And then your celebrations in front of the Kop.

    Let the dippers suffer for the rest of the game.
    Dippers 0 v 1 Utd

    Berba set up the goal. I’m sure Giggs was involved somehow though.

    Breaking News. Darren Fletcher is world class. I can only think of a fit Hargo or Essien who are as good as Fletch at box to box.

    This is good news, glad he will be back soon. Still I would like Welbeck and Kiko to get more chances.

    @MUFC The Religion.

    Love it mate. Fuck JK Rowling I would rather read your adventures of a boy wizard !

    I suppose if he is off for a week it doesnt cost us?
    If Cuntlitos doesnt play it costs Shitty £160,000.00

    PS “4-3 Mate” Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !

    MUFC The Religion – brilliant… we can only dream. My dream would have Gary Neville with the assist though!

    On a side note, I hate international breaks – my life feels empty for a couple of weeks :(

    Fucking Hilarious. You can so see Hitler supporting City and sitting in the empty trophy room going more and more insane with every disappointment.
    The Red Army beating him yet again. Haha.

    Love it.

    *Grins widely* the most funny thing i’ve seen in ages. love the Lescott comment!

    Its really a shame how we might never see the likes of Giggs’, Fletchers n Berbatovs ever play in the World Cups or the European Championship.
    On Topic, glad its only one match, i was dreading Owen’ lengthy injury woes have reoccured.

    @ Kaza

    The funniest bit is the look on the SS Officers face when Hitler says at least Kaka will be fit soon !

  14. Kaza says:

    lmao they should make a sequel about kaka. then he would really explode!!

  15. READ CAREFULLY WHAT I says:

    @kaza – Definitely

    They could tell him and then we could watch him take out his service revolver and shoot himself in the head !

  16. fze123 says:

    Thank god. I was scared he’d miss the dippers game. Things are looking good, hargo will be back early november aswell.

    @ Kaza,
    lmao. so bloody hilarious, Hitler is a legend! but I must say the one when chelsea got banned is arguably funnier.

  17. john ferry says:

    The look on the women when they say, “at least we have widest pitch.” This is unbelievable. I say make Das Boot with a Tevez theme.

    “On a side note, I hate international breaks – my life feels empty for a couple of weeks ”

    Why not try a holiday here next year instead? Go to the Lake district or something that way you wont have to have foreign food and all the other things. You dont have to go abroad for your annual holiday mate.

    @fze123
    Well i saw both of them, but personally i like the 4-3 one better. however from the three i watched (i also saw one about the scousers) the one mentioned above was funniest, followed by the chelsea transfer ban one which was also funny. the liverpool was one was pretty crap, but there were a couple of laughs in there. anyway if anyone is interested in the chelsea one too, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRjNBkKktlc
