Toon Top League!

Premier League ... who needs it? We're top of the injury league, and I'm sure a trophy will be presented to Big Sam before the Tottenham match next week.

Apparently Michael Owen, who only signed in 2005, accounts for nine of them. 

Newcastle were in the lead again this term until Manchester United went ahead against Wigan, losing Louis Saha in the pre-match warm-up and then John O'Shea and Nemanja Vidic injured before 19 minutes had been played.

Languishing at the bottom of the injury table, or the top if you look at it in a positive manner, are Derby County, without so much as a broken fingernail reported by their medical staff.

Next I'm sure some anorak will come up with a league table of which players have piles!
