"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

 

The words of the late, great Danny Blanchflower, for those who don't know.

 

I'm sick of hearing players or managers say, "as long as we win 1-0, we'll be happy. It may not be pretty, but three points is the most important thing."

 

I was bored rigid last night.

No offence mate, but I find those who are slating Michael Owen are a bit thick.

 

The guy is only 25 years old still, yet he's only one International goal behind Alan Shearer.

 

People forget that Shearer went nine International matches without scoring prior to Euro 96, and people were calling for him to be dropped, but Venables stuck by him and he ended up having a great tournament.

 

Michael Owen is far superior to Alan Shearer (who I reckon, incidentally, is/was well overrated) and I'm convinced he will end up breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record.

 

I'm also convinced that Wayne Rooney will go on to break it further still.

 

Owen is one of England's Top 5 post war strikers. (Alongside Lineker, Charlton, Greaves and Lofthouse).

Personally think Owen is better than Shearer. Owen is often criticised for his performances for England but his record speaks for itself.

 

Looks like Defoe may get his chance against the Welsh with Owen suspended for this game.
