Almunia for England is being touted again. What do you all think of that? I think he's better than what England have so they should get him called up.

Spain have Marcos Senna
Italy have Camoronesi
Portugal have Deco
Germany have a team half full of poles (oh, and an american)
Trinidad have Chris Birchall

I don't see an issue.

Won't be long before James get the old heave-ho and Foster gets his shot. He's obviously the best young keeper around at the minute.

I would say Ingerlund also have Hargreaves, but he seems to be doing a Liam Miller impression.

Forgot all about Hargreaves (says it all). Good point.

As a United fan, I can tell you that Foster is hugely over-rated. He is average at best. The fact that he is young, English and plays for United means that people think he's better than he actually is. He's a solid(ish) back up, but not world class by any means.

Why did Shearer not play Owen as an out and out striker? I wonder how many Newcastle fans will point blame at him if they go down?

Because the 4-3-3 was the best option. Plus we don't have the midfield to accomodate Owen in a 4-4-2.

Could have had Jonas on the right and just owen and viduka up front? or Smith on the right and Guthrie in the centre. Shearer is clueless.

Martins?

Jonas wasn't fully fit.

Bench, he spent half his team running round like a headless chicken and getting in the way of his own players.

He had a poor game on Monday but is one of the only sparks in our team. If they're all fit, we have to play Owen, Viduka and Martins.

Once Barton's back in the side, the 4-3-3 will work a lot better. Hopefully Gonzalez will be able to slot in too.
