Just as FootballCynic feels duty bound to give his readers all the latest from the world of football in his own particular style, journalists of national papers are duty bound to sell papers in their own way. How strange that a few weeks ago Phil Brown of Hull City was being ridiculed for offering former Wonderkid, Michael Owen, a job in the Premiership. "What a risk" and "it could spell the end of Hull City" were the cautionary words we were offered. Now that Sir Alex Ferguson has moved in for Michael Owen, it is deemed a masterstroke. Come on make up your minds, guys. Meanwhile, it looks like Michael will have to buy his daughter an over-priced Manchester United shirt for Christmas.
