Batten Down The Hatches For More Of Hurricane Owen
I interrupt this blog for an urgent news announcement...
Michael Owen did not play for Real Madrid yesterday!
I repeat...
Michael Owen did not play for Real Madrid yesterday!
Citizens of the entire universe are asked to stay indoors and don't consume any Spanish products for at least three weeks. Unless you're Canadian and then you are allowed to watch the friendly between Spain and Canada this week. But, please be cautious and wear a gas mask. The drubbing might make you feel sick anyhow. :)
Michael wasn't even selected for the 18 man squad by Vanderlei Luxemburgo. This has led to even more speculation that he'll be in England before the end of the day today - or at the very least by tomorrow.
Or dogs may start living with cats.
You may all now go back to your lives.

A player not being named to the England squad for their qualifier at Wales on Saturday is David James.
Now this entirely understandable after the adventures he had in Daneland. But, what I question is who England named in his place - Chris Kirkland and Robert Green.
A colaship goalie (though to be fair he's been named a number of times) and the guy who has let in more goals (eight) than any other backstop in the Premiership. Then again, there are not a lot of choices. For example, Nigel Martyn of Everton is waving his hands like a little schoolgirl saying, "over here, over here, I'm interested in playing for England again!"
Nigel Martyn is still one of the better goalies in the EPL - but he's 39. Of course in goalie years that's 27, but still.
Cripes! If the United States called in a Colaship goalie and a 39 year old, we'd never hear the end of it from the Brits! :)
Oops, wait...nevermind. ;)
Marcus Hahnemann is awesome and Kasey Keller is only 36!
Not that any of the above mentioned goalies will start for England (especially the Americans) with Paul Robinson goalie until he decides otherwise.

Should be a very tumultuous near two weeks on the international and transfer stage, that's for sure.
Still nothing's going to make the beginning of these long 12 days without the Premiership easier than a nice triple header on BBC Radio Five Live from the Colaship.
Even though it started with my alarm clock going off, I made it to work to hear the end of the Preston North End/Ipswich match.
That was more like it! Away at Portman Road, David Nugent (England U-21 internation) scored two goals (and apparently thought he was playing up the road for Blackburn instead of for Preston with a violent yellow and an uncalled red) in Preston's 4-0 win over Ipswich who sit near the top of the table.
And that was after selling their best striker, Richard Cresswell, to Leeds. The bad news is Wigan is looking to buy Nugent before the transfer window closes on Wednesday - not that it will help either them or David Nugent.
Ah, such is life in the soda leagues! :(
The other game of interest is Plymouth at Brighton. The winner may just very well survive or they might both go down to League One. It's only August but through a combined ten games, the two have one win between them. Milwall already lost to Luton (who regained first) 2-1 so at least that gives the two teams a little breathing room - from last.
