Owen's The Special One - Ameobi
Wed 31 Oct, 02:09 PM

Shola Ameobi has told the critics to lay off Newcastle team-mate Michael Owen as he attempts to rediscover his best form.

The England striker has found himself the centre of attention in recent months after being thrust into the club versus country debate over his latest return from injury.

At the same time, he has had to deal with speculation that Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson could be ready to make a move for him in January, when he will have only 18 months left on his contract at St James' Park.

Owen has scored 10 times in 23 appearances for the Magpies during an injury-plagued 26 months on Tyneside, and Ameobi cannot understand why people still question him.

He told the Northern Echo: "It's fantastic for us to have Michael back in the side. He's a special guy.

"He has an ability to score goals that's rare in this day and age.

"People keep on knocking him down, but he continues to prove he's a world-class player.

"It's a shame that people keep on questioning him. Alan (Shearer) had it at times in his Newcastle career, and Michael's getting it these days.

"I just don't understand it. He's a world-class striker, and he's someone that Newcastle need to reach the heights we want to reach and realise our ambitions as a club.

"He has shown how much he wants to play for Newcastle - he has demonstrated his desire by coming back from his operation so quickly.

"He has shown a desire to be out there, not just for England but for Newcastle United, and the criticism he has had is unfair.

"He just shrugs it off, though. He's a strong enough character to do that."

Keegan issues Ameobi warning

Kevin Keegan has warned Shola Ameobi that time is running out as the striker attempts to impress at Newcastle.

Ameobi admitted his delight when Keegan returned to St James' Park as manager in January after he was frozen out under former boss Sam Allardyce.

However, Keegan has now told Ameobi - who has yet to score in eight games this season - that he must 'make the breakthrough' with the Magpies.

And Keegan has hinted that the 26-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Norwich, could leave Newcastle in the summer.

"Our challenge, mine in particular, is to look at the club and assess players," Keegan told the Daily Express.

"I've told him (Ameobi) what I think. He is 26 now and he has to make the breakthrough quickly or maybe there is somewhere else he can do it.

"There is a better player in Shola, but the test will be when he gets his chance - and he will."

You always see these black guys in England speaking out for their fumbling white teammates like Ameobi did.

Shame it's rarely if ever reciprocated when things get awry for them.

Truly disgusting.

Any guesses as to whether Ameobi would have issued similar comments to defend Martins?

It'll be a cold day in hell.
