in Michael Owen To Leave Newcastle On A Free Transfer? on EPL Talk
The story is typical of most English Red Top tabloids - there has been no official comment made by either NUFC or Michael Owen so of course they have to speculate in order to create a story. As usual they qualify this by using the time old - a source close to - this source probably being the reporting journalists granny.

In fact if all speculation were outlawed and papers were only allowed to report those stories for which they had hard facts then the sports pages in Englandwould be confined to 3 columns and a couple of pictures.

Shame really beacuse it does try hard to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and given the nature of sport and money, it quite often does.
