Alan Shearer may already be making a positive impact on Newcastle United as Michael Owen has come forward to say that he will sign a brand new contract with the Toon Army at the end of this season if Shearer is given the position permanently.  And Mike Ashley is hopefully listening, because Michael Owen has been fantastic for the club…well, most of the time anyway.  Owen may be getting old, but he’s still got plenty to put in as Newcastle’s leader on the pitch, and his old friend Shearer is just the man to manage him I say.

Gary Neville is set for a Manchester United resurgence after having been out of the squad since late January with a groin injury.  Neville played an hour for United’s reserve team on Monday, meaning Neville could be fit for Sunday’s clash with Aston Villa.  Which could be a huge let off for Ferguson, considering United’s been without a real right back for months now, as both Rafael and Wes Brown are still out injured.

John O’Shea has been decent in his role as temporary right back, but let’s face it, O’Shea should play on the left or in the center, because he leaves pretty sizeable gaps on that right side, due in large part to the fact that the Irishman is better with his left foot.  Not to mention perhaps United will stop leaking goals with the captain back in the squad.
