Strike it Unlucky

News in this afternoon confirms Owen is crocked, and is already on his way home.

Now, I don't like to say "I told you so, Sven", but I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO....How has your little plan worked out now you gormless cretin?

Let's examine the striking options at the beginning of the Cup:

Owen: Shadow of the former player. Injured.
Rooney: Broken foot.
Crouch: Shit.
Walcott: Are you having a fucking laugh? This is the World Cup, not the FA Schools Cup.

The point was raised more than once that there was no cover if anyone got an injury out there, not to mention what would happen if the broken ones didn't mend before the start. And of course, it has happened. Like we all knew it would.

So now what Sven? Well, he says he isn't at all worried by the loss of Owen because "we have many players who can play that role". Yes, we have. David James "could" play that role Sven, but what fucking good would that be?

Jermaine Defoe and Darren Bent are both sitting on their butts at home. Theo Walcott has already missed 3 weeks of school. Crouch is an embarrassment. The only one not worried is Sven...but why would he be?
