U21 stars of the Toon

Giuseppe Rossi arrived on Tyneside this morning after playing his part in a 1-0 win for Italy U21 yesterday night. While the messed about James Milner grabbed a dramatic last-two minute winner for England U21, that's our lad!

It seems Martins and Shola are fit for Saturday against Fulham, who along with new signing's Rossi and Sibierski (not forgetting misfit Luque) create some actual have some depth in attack.

Good news on Owen as he begins his recovery after a successful knee operation in the US of A. Our other casualty Kieron Dyer is due back in 2-3 weeks. So things are looking up. As if they were ever looking down?
