The thing that winds me up about donkey is his first season was totally underwhelming, and it didn't help matters when he gently tapped the ball at the keeper during the semi-final game against Everton. On numerous occasions he was needed to do something special to get us out of a tight spot and he failed miserably. With a £30m tag SAF must have felt pressurised to use him over Tevez, just think what that lost us.

So far Owen seems to be doing well but....it's not the premiership. True I don't know much about Malaysia but how he performs over there won't help us this season. My only worry is we'll be useless in the air with him and Rooney up front.
