Why did Shearer not play Owen as an out and out striker?

He's played him as an out and out mercenary, like the previous managers.

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.

Personally I don't rate Almunia at all, he rarely seems to make any saves you wouldn't expect him to (I was shocked by his from Tevez(?) on Wednesday, and Arsenal's defence is quite often all at sea.

He's rubbish.

None of the other 'big four' would touch him with a bargepole. He's doesn't command his area enough for me. Jens Lehmann certainly didn't rate him.

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.

Rate Foster and Kirkland higher than Almunia tbh...so there are 2 English keepers.

Where does he say that the fans (BTW he is talking about West Ham fans here) were chanting Argentina in reference to the Falklands war?

The answer is, he doesn't. He was surprised that English fans were chanting Argentina despite the war in the Falklands.

"Learn the facts little boy".

Yes it clearly states it is from his West Ham days which makes there fans just as bad as yours...
Are you Stupid... Where did i say that they chant it in regards to the Falklands War?...
I said i find it disrespectful that they chant it after what happened and the fact they killed a big number of our men in the Falklands...
Sit back down little man...
