Is this on TV? At all? TNS getting dicked by Stevie was on ITV2, but tonight it doesn't seem to be that. Instead, they're showing a rerun of Man Utd vs some Chinese club in a friendly.
Man Utd win 3-0, by the way. Park and two from Scholes. Some guy fouls Nistelrooy and he uses it as an excuse to vent spleen about the fact he's crap now. Alan Smith continues to play in a defensive midfield role (this makes me laugh). I've checked so you don't need to watch it. Don't thank me.
Am I going to have to listen to it on Radio 5? Presuming they have it and not live coverage of Shaun Wright-Phillips eating his first meal in the Chelsea canteen (Commentary by Ed De Hoey).
Oh, and the match. Baros is in the squad. Odds on him staying on the bench and not even moving to warm up in case he trips over Traore and reduces his market value?

So many good things happened in that match last night.
1) I noticed the Rafa Owen-dodging. He definitely refused to rule himself out of getting him. And today Owen has said he's spoken to 3 or 4 Prem clubs. 1 will be Newcastle ("No, Souness, go shaft yourself), 1 might be Man Utd ("Maybe, Fergie, maybe) so 1 could be 'Pool (Yes! Yes!).
2) Cisse is looking very very dangerous. This I like.
3) They showed Baros dressed in possibly the most camp outfit ever.
4) Crouch got injured for 3 weeks. This is excellent news.
However, Morientes isn't looking good. This isn't too hot.

If we come near the end of the transfer window and Newcastle are the only club interested then Owen will go there.

I'm still unsure whether I would like Owen to come back to Liverpool. In any case, if Liverpool don't take up the option to sign him, I really don't fancy seeing him in another Premiership team.

He'd rather stay at Real Madrid than go to Newcastle, I can almost guarantee. Think of what system Wandermully Night Shalabergo will play:
Baptista will play left midfield. Ronaldo and Robinho up front, with Raul/Zidane in the hole.
So, pretty much the same situation he was in last situation. Third-choice striker. He'd take that before going to Newcastle, it'd be a huge step down for him. It'd be more than that, it'd be a swallow-dive into the pavement.

Why are you unsure? He hasn't got any worse, and that means he's still one of the best strikers money can buy. He will guarantee goals.
Morientes and Crouch are never going to be scoring 20+ goals. Cisse can, but he's still to prove it. Personally, I think Cisse's going to be 2nd to Henry this season, but I have no proof for that.

I'm being really stupid about this but buying Owen for the supposed asking price of £15 million when Liverpool sold him for £8 million just doesn't make good business sense.
Well, that's the obvious stumbling block. The problem is, they'll obviously want Nunez back as part of the deal to fill the void left by Figo's impending departure, and we've already sold him for an undisclosed fee (believed to be close to £20 million) to Celta Vigo.
I would have held out for £30 million for Nunez. He's obviously worth it...

Nunez gets about a bit, just popped down to the Riverside to help out Atletico Madrid. I have a feeling that they meant to put Antonio Lopez, that's one hell of a typo though.
Edit: Somebody at the BBC has changed it now.

Nunez is good enough to play for two clubs. Sometimes he's playing in two different matches at the same time - that's how good he is.
£20 million was a steal for Celta Vigo, if you ask me. That right-wing void won't be filled in a hurry, I tell you.
