Smith and Owen to play for England up-front.

Without wanting to sound overly negative, would this be the same Alan Smith who's so dismal in front of goal that not one, but two managers have tried to convert him into a 'tough-tackling' central midfielder?

And would this be the same Michael Owen who was rushed back from injury to the England side so successfully before? Who's barely played over the last two seasons? Who's legs, and I've seen scientific evidence for this, are actually made out of a paper-balsa wood composite?

Good to see Stevie to the Mc Claren is going to use a friendly to try out some new blood.

Oh.

Still, anything involving Jens Lehmann is worth watching; remember that.
