Michael Owen

[James]

Or you could ask him how his decision to "leave Liverpool to win things" went for him.

 

Haha.

Just ignore Judas, he really doesn't deserve to be spoken to.

[fowler9]

"how does it feel to know Fabio Capello rates Heskey above you?"

[Lucky Pierre]

Wear an Istanbul T-Shirt.

[istvankozma]

Give him a swift one to the nuts.

[istvankozma]

Wear an Istanbul T-Shirt.

 

Actually that's better.

Went to see Owen sign for the Toon 5 years ago. £70 in train tickets and a 5am start. Day before I went on holiday too leaving me with eff all money to take! Saw him at Villa Park couple of years ago. I'd collected lots of autographs on an envelope. Owen began signing some. He looked at me, then the envelope, then me again, and walked off. Sorry guys, but that's disgusting. I know he had no way of knowing the effort I put in to support him. He may not have cared if he had known. But he lost my love that day. Screw him. Seriously though, cheap wages, under Woy, I'd have him back!!! If he scored, I'd muster a polite round of applause I think.

okay so being realistic you can't say anything we want you to say but what you can do is piss him off by asking him as many questions as possible about Liverpool, goals he got against the Scum, Newcastle's relegation and not being in the England squad and injuries, word it right and they can't stop you from asking them

But this is different. He didn't join Man United from Liverpool. He joined from Newcastle United and seemingly only because Liverpool didn't want him.

 

Maybe it's because I don't consider him to be half the player he used to be and although I do find it strange seeing him in a Man United kit I don't hate him for it. Fans tend to hate players that aren't loyal which is unfair I think. Sure appreciate those that are but don't necessarily hate those that aren't. I'll never boo him. I'd much rather thank him for all the wonderful memories.

 

You seem pleasant but naive if you don't mind me saying, Mumsy.

 

He left before giving Rafa any kind of chance. We got shafted and he walked away for nothing. Rafa did the right thing by letting him go: I'd have told Real to stuff their 6 mil and put Owen in the reserves to rot.

 

He then had the opportunity to rejoin but there was a discrepancy between teh asking price and what Liverpool could justifiably pay (how could a super-sub treble in value after one year?). He was told to sit tight and the deal would go through. He ignored this advice and went up to Newcastle (all of this of course, not because he wanted to play for Liverpool, but because he wanted to play for England).

 

He then joined the mancs and has conducted himself with as little dignity as he could muster ever since.

What on earth are you on about?

[Ynwa20]

It's a reflection on Owen. This whole thread's full of it. Wake up!

Why the bastard hell did you travel to Newcastle to become a Sky cheerleader for the day he signed for them?

[Red Mist]

Treat Owen as you would any other poisonous toad, by trampling over his fucking head.

[graham]

the day i decided i hated michael owen , was a saturday while he was either with real madrid or newcastle and i stumbled across soccer am on the tv , he was doing some sort of interview towards the end of the programme where he was asked to name 3 of his own favourite goals , and do u think any was in the red of liverpool . not fucking one , the little toad . i think two of the goals he mentioned where for england , which says it all really .

 

so in a nutshell if i was ever to meet the odius turd , id wear my jersey wit pride an totally blank the little bastard

[Guest PurpleNose]

As him whether he realises that when he finally retires from football that, ok he'll be extremely rich, and will have played a sport he presumably loves for a living, he won't actually be liked by the fans of any of the clubs he's played for.

[joeyk]

I would have to ask whether he has beans on a fry up or not.

 

Me - well ?

Him - what ?

Me - you fuckin heard me

Him - I honestly don't...

Me - BOOM !

 

FIN

[Ynwa20]

A sky cheerleader? I took an interest in The Toon and Owen.

I can't believe I am asking this question, but, why?

[RedinSweden]

I don't understand the hate for Michael Owen. He served us incredibly well and had always said that he had wanted to play abroad at some point in his career. Maybe if more England players followed in similar footsteps they might just improve on the international stage.

 

He wanted to come back to Liverpool twice I believe but on both occasions we didn't want him or couldn't afford him so can you really blame him for joining Man United? Possibly his last chance at seriously competing for trophies.

 

Sure, I love players like Jamie Carragher who seemingly bleed Liverpool FC but I don't hate Michael Owen for wanting to try his luck at something different. As much as I love Liverpool FC if I was a professional footballer and was given the opportunity to play for top clubs in Italy and Spain I'm not sure I'd be able to say no either. There's a whole host of reasons one could give like the chance to experience new cultures, learn different styles of play, etc.

 

i think the whole "I'm about to sign a contract" bollocks got most people's goat here. Was he looking for a pen? Got his cut price move out of that, then joined the mancs and banged on about how amazing they were.

 

Fuck him.

[The Special One]

Wear our kit but pretend you have no clue who he is. Sort of a subliminal message to the rat. Just act really shocked about who he claims to be saying you've never heard of him.

[hunts_kopite]

I was not bothered for myself and not really that surprised but I was disapointed for all the kids yesterday.

 

Owen was present for a large group photo with all 56 teams when we first got to Wembley then spent the rest of the entire time there off at the other end of the stadium talking to TV cameras. He hardly signed any autographs for the kids.

 

Each team got it's own team photo with Geoff Hurst but unfortunately as the other teams were waiting he was not able to sign autographs but at least every kid got to meet him and even Trevor Brooking was signing autographs but not a sniff from Owen.

 

Now these kids were all 9 and 10 years old so don't really have a connection to Hurst and Brooking and all wanted to see Owen and spent the whole time at Wembley asking where he was. Then at the end of the day we couldn't go back and collect our bags from our seats in the stands because Owen was sitting one block over. There was only 11 of us (3 coaches and 8 kids) so it was hardly like he was going to be mobbed.

 

Where I might have had a little bit of interest in him before being one of my childhood heroes I can honestly say I won't even blink when hearing he might be at an event in the future.

[Jim MM]

Shithead, but no surprise. Michael Owen gives a fuck about nobody but Michael Owen. I think even playing football is just a marketing exercise with him, another chance to get on the telly.

I hope the kids had a good day despite the valuable life lesson they learned about rats.

[WaltonRed]

manc rats at that

[gkmacca]

Owen AND Geoff Hurst - what a combination! Hurst is a pompous, money-mad twat. I'd have nutted both of them!

[WaltonRed]

He goes to bed every night knowing Robbie was ten times the player & the man.

 

Thats enough for me.

[TopMod]

Modern day footballers, fucking hate them. ( except Reina and Carragher, Kuyt also seems a good lad)
