obviously you were talking about club level. im saying he's played rather crap opposition and if he was in such good form he shoulda scored for ingerland.
i mean u wanna talk about good form, look at torres. ronaldo. keane & berbatov lead the league in goals a week or two ago. comparatively, mickey owen still hasnt proven shit.

If you'd watched the England match then you'd have noted the complete lack of service to ANY of the forwards.
If you think Owen has anything to prove then you're an even bigger idiot than I suspected. He is in good form at the moment, and is scoring goals. Why the hell would I have to compare him to the likes of Torres and Ronaldo – both of whom play for in form sides? Owen is playing for an underachieving team that is only just starting to pull itself out of an all time low in form in the Premier League. Scoring 3 goals in 3 club games is good form in anyone’s book, and his record speaks for itself… for every season at every club he’s played at he’s banged them in. Even Torres and Ronaldo (two players of the highest caliber at the moment) cannot say that. Not to mention he's still scoring for Newcastle consistently despite spending 2 seasons off the field.
You know I gave you the benefit of the doubt when you had to have the rule of offside explained to you a few months ago, but you continually portray yourself as a complete spastic when it comes to football.

I watched the first half and turned it off because it was game over. How the hell did you give away 3 goals against a team that was backing off Henry and Xavi?
i could not believe it, honestly
3 goals in like 15 minutes or so
valdes manages to stop a penalty kick, and literally 30 seconds later, before I can finish cheering betis scores the tie, and a couple minutes later some dude fires an unstoppable rocket to take the win
we were dominating the entire first half, and then something changed, i don't know what the fuck happened, but after so many consecutive shitty performances my optimism and patience with the players and rijkaard is running thin
laporta, rijkaard and half the squad need to be booted the fuck out

The problem with Rijkaard is that he isn't exactly the best man manager, and he comes across extremely quiet. I cannot imagine him delivering a stirring half time speech to a team 2-0 up to keep their foot on the gas. Personally I think you'd be better off with someone like Jose. He keeps people in check and inspires belief.
keane and berbatov haven't been at the top of the goal scoring list for a long time
Ronaldo, Torres, and Adebayor have been the top three for a couple months now (26, 21, 19 atm).
keane and santa cruz have 14 and berbs, benjani, and yakubu have 13.
i think it has to do with the amount of egos in a club like barca. the players make 10x more than the coach and they know that
thats on top of all the people telling the players how great they are all the time
then it really does become a babysitting job for rijkaard
I think it's the just about the same thing RM went through a couple seasons ago
You mean Owen who's scored in the last three games and still manages to maintain a 1 in 2 record despite all the injuries he's had?
Someone was going to get a beating off us sooner or later when morale was raised, and I'm SO happy it was against spurs away!
pffft
