Charlie Adam, the guy that high on crippled Bale, should feel right at home with the Stoke rabble and their odious manager. Doubtless when he next clatters or injures someone Pullis will say "he's not that sort of player, just an honest pro" for honest player read average agricultural clod.

I've been surprised no team has snapped him up on some sort of pay as you play deal.


He's obviously a sicknote who will spend a lot of the season on the injury list, but equally, he is proven quality, and surely could do a job for an Everton or a Villa...

He's probably over pricing himself, even on a pay as you play basis. Man United got very little from him. He should drop down a division.


He's a player I genuinely feel sorry for. Goal against Argentina and a double in the cup final were probably career highlights in a career that promised so much more.

Unless I am reading it wrong, that says ?15m spent on players in 2011/12??


@MicMac - thanks, we can only beat what's in front of us. Unless it is Peterhead or Berwick Rangers.

Owen suffers from an extraordinarily large ego. The only reason he wants a Prem team is so he can warm the bench and rake in the cash, while denying a younger player a chance to develop and progress.

Don't you just love transfer deadline day? Plenty of business being done. Sad to see Rafa go back to Hamburg but as good as he was he did lack pace. My favourite memory of him was scoring against Le Arse and blowing kisses to their fans followed by nutmegging Jack Wiltshire not once but twice. Good to see Berbatov get a move to Fulham. If he gets plenty of time on the pitch he'll score goals. As for Michael Owen, I think he's just happy to warm his well paid arse on a bench these days. Sad because I'm sure if he's fit he could do a good job for someone.

In my case I got abuse for not asking first before taking the photo. As my wife proved with Michael Owen, if you do ask they say no. Best to take the photo and if they get antsy, just run away.


Michael Owen would not catch anyone these days.

That's 'market value' which doesn't make any sense at all. Net transfer amounted to about ?2M.

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
