The worst thing about Owen is that he won't be in the slightest bit arsed about how we all feel. Other players might have a degree of pragmatism about them and while they think they've done what is required for their career, they'd still feel a bit shit that they'd gone to such a massive rival where so much bad blood existed.

 

Not Owen though, his level of self involvement is almost sociopathic in nature. He's been Michael Owen incorporated since he was 17.

 

He'll actually suit that club more than he did us, he'll lap up all that shit they spout. There's something sickening about rival players who go to the mancs, their twattish nature increases ten fold when they're in that shirt and they're trying more than anything to be loved by the manc hords - be they Alan Smith or Teddy Sheringham - and judging by that picture, he'll be another one.

Not sure that's true. I'm sure I read/heard that he was in tears at the end of his first game at Anfield for Newcastle when he was booed and taunted by sections of the crowd.

No, I think he's gone to Man U to be involved in Premier League and Champions League title races for the first time in his career. Who can blame him?

 

Poor little mite! Like he bears no responsibility for LFC not being in a championship race in all the years he played for us - except possibly one under Evans?

 

Houlier's main strategic weakness was when he decided to go along with Owen's demands to be first choice and then forming the team around his ability to run fast or stand in the six yard box like a hatstand, as well as to cater to Owen's inability to track-back, dribble, pass or move laterally or score more than 50% of the penalties he took. That was the main reason we were boring losers during those "Owen years".

 

It was a sick situation. It was as though it didnt' matter if the other players did not score and the team did not win as long as the midget was served the ball on a plate.

 

Even with all this support, managerial coddling and special treatment he never reached 20 league goals in a season and earned 19 only once and that was thanks to being first choice penalty-taker until his constant missing 50% of them for two years finally allowed Gerard in.

Haha, get on the girl with the Torres top on.

 

Torres is better than Owen ever was.

 

I wonder how it made him feel to see the Torres shirt. Torres is everything Owen wishes he could be, he's tasted the success, the one thing that has driven Owen's career - international glory - he's experienced. He's scored a winner in a massive international final, something that England's Michael Owen will never do. To reiterate, the one thing Owen really wanted but can now never, ever, ever experience during his tenure on this mortal coil, Fernando Torres has and will forever have. He's etched into the record books as the man who scored the goal which brought Spain the European Championship.

 

He's also a better finisher than Owen was, more beloved by his fans than Owen is and will ever be, less inclined to blow his wad at the bookies alongside piss-drenched middle aged men with liver problems than Owen will ever be and, just to rub it in, is also far better looking and will make far more money from his career than Owen will.
