Featured: Liverpool is in my blood says Owen

[tlw content]

Michael Owen says that Liverpool 'is in his blood' but has defended his decision to sign for Manchester United because 'you only get one shot at it'.

 

The striker angered many Liverpool fans by joining United after being relegated with Newcastle in 2009, but Owen, now 33 and working for BT Sport as a pundit, says it was either United or Everton and Liverpool fans were going to be upset either way.  

 

"If I hadn't have signed for Man United, the other option at that time was Everton and I don't think a lot of Liverpool fans would have been happy if I had gone there either." he said.

 

"Anyone with any nous or normality about them realises that you only get one shot at it. You have got to do what's best for your career and to play at the highest level.

 

"I played for Liverpool from the tender age of 11 with Stevie Gerrard. Liverpool is in my blood and I want to see them do well. I've been back to Anfield a couple of times already this season and the reception I've had has been great."

Think he's getting mixed up with Liverpool and bad shithouse aids

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

That's what he said just before he stitched us, left for next to nothing, fucked off to Newcastle over us and then played for our mortal enemy.

 

Fuck you.

[scudger99]

He put playing for England ahead of playing for Liverpool, nuff said.

Deluded gobshite

[fowler9]

Only has himself to blame for the fact no-one gives a flying fuck about him these days

[Barrington Womble]

I believe the phrase everyone is looking for is "fuck off twatbag"

[sir roger]

I think he is missing the point completely. I don't think that many people were upset about him joining Man Utd , it was the provocative comments he made to cosy up to their fans that annoyed Liverpool fans.

 

Having said that, he gave us a lot more great memories than most & was probably just the fore-runner of the selfishness we now see in the great majority of players.

Liverpool may be in Michael Owen's blood, but Michael Owen wasn't in Istanbul.

[Jairzinho]

Who?

[rEddie]

I would wager that nearly everyone who posts on this site (wums excluded) have more "Liverpool in their blood" than this bell-end.

Broken link.

That was deffo the case for me.

[Bjornebye]

he is only saying that so he gets invited to after-dinner events in kirkby. 

 

must be skint. 

 

he used to be a blue as a kid right? if he had gone to them instead of the mancs i'd have the tiniest bit of care for him. people used to ask why the kop never warmed to him like fowler and gerrard.... apart fom him being from chester, it was because it was always about michael owen with him. look at his interviews even when he was 18, it was all about himself and his own development etc. fuck him and fuck his horses. 

 

fucking bograt.

The most annoying voice in footy.

No time for the prick.

bad chester welsh bell whiff media cock

[Jim MM]

The little bollix needs a transfusion.

[Magic Sponge]

The hay that he feeds his horses, has got more charisma than him.

[the walsh]

he,s a cunt and usless on bt sport

[Sangria]

The only thing on his mind is the next winner, thankfully he does not pick too many.

 

Thanks for the memories and all that - Cardiff etc - but he does not give a fuck about us and visa versa.  

[05 Milan]

He's a harmless, good-natured fella who banged in goals for Liverpool and helped us win trophies. I find it impossible to dislike him, but it's quite funny seeing him being ripped to pieces on Twitter now and again.

[JermainePennant]

Fuck the manu thing, we developed this cunt only for him to purposely fuck us over with his contract and cost us mils.Now hes finished and knows no fans give a fuck about him he wants to get in Liverpool fans good books.We seen how much he didn't care with his comments at the mancs Ill never forgive him or accept him as a Liverpool legend.

[zigackly]

I don't think he's good natured Milan, but I think he tries very hard to cultivate the impression that he is. I have a bit of duality in the way I see him, similarly to Lawrenson or Souness. Great players for us, but not personalities I can ever warm to.
