'It Would Be Nice' To See Owen Injury Free!

The England international has only made 47 starts in Newcastle colours, far less than one-third of the games the Magpies have played since his transfer from Real Madrid.
Michael Owen: "It would be nice to just have one season where the off-the-field distractions that seem to follow the club didn't happen.
"But we still have the FA Cup to go for and there are an awful lot of important points to be played for over the rest of the season.
"You start off the season full of optimism but unfortunately a lot of our optimism was dashed quite early on this season."
"It wasn't a serious injury and it's always nice coming back into a team that has won a game or two.
"It has been frustrating because I've ended up missing a few games, including Sunderland, which was the one I certainly didn't want to miss."
