What a load of complete pap. Owen is a better finisher or natural finisher. Fowler is no more a natural finisher than CDMs' chief poseur is.marc71178 said:

Owen is a huge talent, he's never quite become the player I imagined he would be when he was 18 tho. He used to have terrible trouble with his hammys, so he bulked up a bit & that seems to have cost him half-a-yard of his pace. Still only 26 tho, TBF.simmy said:
That said Fowler does have greater spatial awareness for me, I just think his body can't quite get him into the areas his mind sees so well anymore. He still looks a better partner for Crouch than Morientes tho. Morientes doesn't gamble enough for me, if you play with a big guy like Crouch a striker has to anticpate where the knock downs will go. Fowler does & he's been unlucky with a couple of offsides. It may be the different footballing philosophies of Spain & England being shown up.

My Champions league QF-Verdict
ARSENAL VS JUVENTUS:
I'd say Juventus will go through, they should be able to expose the inexperienced defense that the gunners currently have. Plus since the 1st leg is at highbury all Juve need is a goal & they will be in the driving seat going into the 2nd leg.
LYON VS AC MILAN:
Lyon have been playing well, but i pick AC to go through their defense will be too much for the french giants even more without Juninho for the 1st leg. But Lyon overall have a though road to win the title because even if they manage somehow to beat AC they still have to get past Barcelona..
BARCELONA VS BENFICA:
No disrespect to Benfica since they knocked out liverpool, but i have no doubt Barcelona will win this..
VILLAREAL VS INTER MILAN OR AJAX:
Villareal have been playing well over the last month or so. But if this stage if they have to play Ajax i'd tip them to qualify but if its Inter at this stage its too close to call.

Cheers for the support buddy - we need all we can get at the moment, it's still going to be very tough down there. At least now we've kept ourselves from slipping out of the hunt completely.

A nice little reminder of traditional football today at Griffin park as 5 minuites before kick off the anouncer asked if any qualified referees were in the ground because they were in need of a 4th official. It was made all the better when Brentford won 3-1 to put them in a great position for automatic promotion.

Read whatever I said a month or so ago when you came up with that.marc71178 said:
Fowler averages less than 0.5 goals a game - natural finishers would score more than that when given the clubs Fowler's been at (unless you mean he's a naturally bad finisher).

The only drawback with that result is that it still (barely) allows Dirtyleeds a sniff of automatic promotion.marc71178 said:
DCFC look to be easing away from the relegation zone - another good home win today (albeit only against Burnley, but 3-0 is 3-0). Terry Westley's style of play has been a breath of fresh air after the long ball rubbish of Phil Brown, and Pride Park is kicking again. All we need to do now is clear away some of the stink emanating from the parasites in the directors box. Has anyone got the odd 44 million quid to spare?
