This is good. I follow Arsenal. I love Mighty Morton. But I have a soft spot for Newcastle so reading this morning that Michael Owen, formerly of Liverpool, formerly of the Real Madrid bench, is joining them is cause for a little excitement. He might actually recall how to put the ball in the back of the net rather than determining where to sit for the best view as has been his speciality.

I'm happy he's back in the Prem (and not with Liverpool).

I was delighted at this signing.
Owen will hopefully start scoring immediately, though I fear one striker, no matter how good, will not be enough to save Newcastle.
