Michael Owen at least had the good grace to concede thatpeople would laugh at him.[LNB]But perhaps he underestimated how much. To protest that heis not injury-prone is like Arsene Wenger saying he is a graceful loser or JoeyBarton claiming he is one of the game's better role models.[LNB] Out again: Michael Owen winces in pain after sustaining another inury[LNB]Owen may believe it is a misconception and that is great, heprobably needs to think that way to get through the problems he has.[LNB]   More from Hatchet Man... HATCHET MAN: Anorexic West Ham can't afford anything, least of all to keep on winning[LNB]20/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Villa boss O'Neill must play Gabby at Liverpool or risk letting fans win and Champions League bid fail[LNB]20/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Liverpool's loss is England's gain as wise Lennon shuns Anfield to stay at Spurs[LNB]20/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Relief as Rafa pens new deal but it isn't Liverpool breathing a sigh[LNB]19/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Sir Alex's recruitment drive is bad news for Villa and Everton[LNB]19/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Boy in the hood Fabregas needs to leave Arsenal and find a manager who won't put up with his tantrums[LNB]19/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Palace look set for mid-table mediocrity so Warnock blames West Ham, Scudamore and refs[LNB]18/03/09 HATCHET MAN: Emirates spat proves Wenger and Brown are a disgrace to their profession[LNB]18/03/09 VIEW FULL ARCHIVE[LNB] However, that facts prove he is kidding himself. In the lastthree-and-a-half years alone he has broken a metatarsal which required two operationsand failed to heal enough for him to get through his comeback game.[LNB]Owen has suffered concussion after colliding with ateam-mate, suffered a long-term knee injury, damaged his thigh, injured hisgroin, suffered a hernia, had another thigh injury and broken an ankle bone.[LNB]The Newcastlestriker is English football's Jonny Wilkinson and there is no getting away fromit.[LNB] [LNB]
