None of us have ever seen the kid play, and the idea of having him playing alongside gangly-giant Crouch as our front line is just weird. But who knows. Chances are Owen will be fit, and he'll play with Crouch. But to be honest, there are still some big doubts over big man, tidy feet or no. It's gonna be... intriguing
The only other oddities were the inclusion of Hargreaves (Bayern Munich) and Jenas (Spurs) as midfield backup - both are really similar: they're very mobile and can play in lots of positions, but they're both prone to going missing as well.
I'm happy Lennon (Spurs) got the call tho. His game is coming on leaps and bounds. He's a left-back's nightmare. (And i'd kinda like to see him terrorise a Swedish defence - we've never really ruffled your feathers in the past)

Did you hear about the bizarre farce on the final day of the Premier league btw? Most of the Spurs team got food poisoning, played poorly in their game (which couldn't be postponed), and lost - meaning we get UEFA football rather than CL. Bugger.
It seems we're appealing for a replay, but i doubt we'll get it. Bit of a painful way to lose the 4th spot we've held for 7 months or so tho. (And losing it to Arsenal too. Grr )
Ah well, can't argue with the drama
