And in attack he's so much better. His crossing is as good as anyone in the league, he can beat his man or overlap to get in those positions. He scores, he assists and yeah he delivers a killer dead ball. To claim Gibbs or a past it Cashely are better than him exposes a lack of PL knowledge.

Really?! No chance. No chance whatsoever.
I have to agree with Jed.
Don't rate Baines too.
Is there some kind of strikers jinx occurring?
Let's hope that the rest of the big name players stay healthy.
Nothing worse than a WC with no stars ie World Cup 2002.
2002 had no stars?

Chamberlain and Wilshere not in Owen's pick for the world cup squad. 😆 He really is a bitter prick, isn't he?
Link?

Owen said he wasn't convinced of their quality before. He said Ox is overrated and Townsend is twice the talent. Zaha is a better "wildcard" than Wilshere.
Townsend is twice the talent? Is Owen on hard drugs?

This is pure gold!
He's been spending too much time with the horse.
If Wilshere's to be left behind it's will only be because his injury's not reliably healed.
The horse is probably thinking: "Why do I put up with this idiot?"
😆 Probably correcting his spelling and grammar as well.

This Arsenal hating cunt has no credibility as an impartial observer of the game. Its a fucking disgrace that he continues to be inflicted on the public as a so called expert. As a player he was a cheating diving little prick whose one trick was he could run fast, when his pace went he wasn't even a one trick pony any more just pony 'n trap.
Well said, Bigs!
I still don't get his hatred for us, other than the fact he obviously want to prove that he is right about his pre season prediction of us finishing 6th and that our fans gave him plenty of stick in november when we were top and beat Liverpool at home.
When you use that squad picker thing you realise just how bad Englands defence and midfield are.
