Has been left out of the England squad again.
Good or bad.
If England win their matches, no problem.
However if they don't win their games it will be because they didn't score enough goals.
Why have 3 Goal Keepers (2 should be ample)
8 defenders (6 should be ample Brown and Lescott can both play full back/centre back).
That would free up 3 places and Owen could surely be one of those.
I know Capello has said that his strikers have to do more than score goals.
Defoe doesn't do more than score goals
Heskey does lots more but, doesn't score goals.
I just find it unbelieveable that he isn't on the bench
 
Capello never got on with Owen when he was at Real Madrid .He spent most of time under Capello sitting on the bench.If he knocked in a hat trick every week he might get in the England B team
 
He will live and die by his decisions because he is England manager, personally I would NOT have Owen in the squad, I just don't rate him anymore, maybe if he can keep up his forum then I would change my mind but a couple of goals will not change it for me, he will need to be more consistant.

Gotta disagree mate, he's playing in a pish team & still scoring reasonably regularly. When he's fit I think he's still Engerlands best striker. He defo should be at least in the squad, 40 goals from 89 caps at least merits that IMO.
HH.
 
I actually feel the same Jaffa.Liverpool are supposedly showing interest in buying him next year and i hope they don't .Owen was at his best when he had that bit of pace but thats gone now and he seems to be injured all the time.I was just pointing out the fact that Cappello has never rated him and i don't think he ever will no matter what Owen does

When he proves it on a regular basis I may change my mind but not until then, I agree he is in a sh1t team but that was his choice to escape RM.

I always liked him but he has lost a bit of pace. It is in his hands to fight back into the squad.
 
I wouldn't of put him in the squad regardless of who and doesn't get on with as at the mo his form is pretty poor and names should be meaningless. Why not put as mentioned before some youngsters in the team and not the usual bland lot.
 
FFS all I hear at the minute are people calling newcastle shite lmao owen is the only one scoring goals for us i agree with that but to say he has lost his pace and thats him finished is roobarb hes changed his game he is scoring with his head alot and he knows where the ball is heading far better then most on the pitch he finds space in the box and can put the ball in the net if owen was getting the service that other centre forwads in the league were getting hed be up there with the best.

Yep fine finding space but unless he does get the service and not with the help of that pudding Ameobi, I wonder who would be a suitable partner in B&W for him. U gotta admit he should be bangin them in but ain't, 3 in premier 1 a penalty and the other 2 in the league cup coventry and spurs hardly outstanding. I think he also doesn't put the effort in either, for me I think he'll be on his travels in january or will sit tight till his contract runs out.

thing is hes stuck at newcastle untill someones willing to pay over 15 mil for him I think hes getting stronger as a player hes lifting weights and has completely changed his game play.

owen isnt finished as a england striker hes fcuked playing for newcastle as he wont get picked for england but as soon as he moves on are if ever newcastle sorts them selfs out hes another gary linaker in the making he is a out and out goal scorer Id put my life on it over the next few year he makes it back as a england no1

he is not finished by a long shot some stupid posts lately even man u fans on here call rooney shite ?

but the wernt saying that at the weekend when he scored that goal layed of by ronaldo it was a wonderfull goal.

owen rooney fat frank gerrard

some people are not satisfied even when there teams are in the top 4 stupid it pisses me off.

THERE THE BEST ENGLAND HAS TO OFFER HOW CAN YOU CALL ROONEY SHIT SHAME ON YOU MAN U FANS

owen will be on the england sheet soon enough regardless if the manager likes him are not supporters have more power regardless who the manager is.
 
I agree with lizzard above that owen is class and will/should wear an england shirt again. I would have him in the squad but im not england manager capello is and i think he is goin to do a fuckin good job. If he slips up im sure he be flamed by the english media which really gets on my tits. The english media needs to be sorted out. If english players are under more pressure at home than away e truly are fooked. Media gobshites
