Not common, but not rare exactly. I believe it's a Scottish name originally.

Ouch; feel sorry for him (and a little for Newcastle). Hate to say it, but I think Owen might be done, permanently. There has to be a point where proneness becomes fragility, and Owen must be getting close.

Morning or afternoon everyone. Well a lot of English not in the happiest of moods today, not only with yesterday's draw but also depressed now with Owen out for around five months with a ruptured ACL.

Didn't Defoe start quite a few games on the bench though?

I think Bellamy would probably be a better signing than any of those with the possible exception of Villa. Although Bellers may be better value for money. Villa would also have the advantage of being able to talk to his teammates.

Plus I want Kuyt for Newcastle. And Bellamy to be honest.

Didn't you already have Bellamy and get rid of him?

Ok .. umm .. Canada in '10.

We could make it there, at least. That's my dream.
