Well I'm beginning to feel like Im the only person in th world who believes this now, but I think Owen is one of only 5 World Class players England have, with Becks, Gerrard, Campbell and Ferdy. I think that people are havng a go at him because of the high standards he has set himself by being great early on in his career. I mean, he is put there to score goals, and he does it nearly every match for England. It must be hard for him not having a regular partner for England, as he must have to adapt his game, depending on if it is Rooney or Heskey or neither or both up front with him.

As Sven said a couple of weeks ago, we dont know how lucky we are!
