As World media refuses to acknowledge they are the same person
[permalink]

We've kept quiet for a number of years now, allowing the amusement to continue. Like most obvious things, we've waited for someone else to discuss it. Because 2oceansvibe is so selective over it's content, we very often ignore breaking news. When it first became apparent that the supremely talented Johnny Wilkinson and Michael Owen were, in fact, the same person, we assumed someone else would pick up on it. But no, we read nothing. No-one uttered a word.

Isn't it odd that they are never photographed together? Isn't it odd that they never play "their" respective sports at the same time? Those were the glaring observations that everyone failed to notice. But then on Friday I was informed of a VERY convenient turn of events! For those of you who don't know, Jonny Wilkininson has been injured for quite some time (appendix??!) - allowing Michael Owen to take his rightful place with Newcastle and England after a spell on the bench for Real Madrid. Makes sense - I suppose it was all too much; flying from Spain back to Newcastle, week in and week out! So Real Madrid CONVENIENTLY, 'sold' their star (Owen) to Newcastle (this time, the football side) so he can continue the charade without it affecting his sleeping patterns.

WILKOWEN - In his various guises

I laughed when I saw Wilkinson playing OFF THE BENCH for Newcastle Falcons recently - no wonder, he had a big game for England against Austria on the Tuesday Night!

But WAIT! There's MORE! Just as the pre World Cup qualifiers (football) are finishing, and with Thursday's game against Poland out the way, he can now take up his starting position for Newcastle (rugby) and focus on his beloved number 10 berth. And guess what the next article exclaims - 'Michael Owen fitness doubts'. It's too much!

My London contact has informed me of a recent bizarre article in which "Wilkinson" is pleased to have "Owen" in his home town and goes on to say that he " hasn't met him yet, but is grateful for Owen joining the Magpies as he has helped lift the sports profile of the region" (even more than he did originally, I suppose!). AMAZING how they're starting to panic and are even willing to feature "both" stars in the same articles! Whatever, Wilkowen! You don't fool us.

UPDATE: I suppose it's a coincidence that both Owen and Wilkinson where number 10 jerseys?
