They are. Any need for the sly digs and the sanctimony though? From them, that is
I think deep down they feel threatened by anyone under 30 daring to take interest in their club.
People can come on here and spout what the fuck they like as far as I'm concerned.
Well of course they can, do you really think .com are some kind of parental guardian who can tell them what to do. Their article is light hearted but trust some of the folks on here to take it far too seriously and get their whinge on at any opportunity.
Maybe we're being light-hearted and you're taking it too seriously.
Dear Sir, I wish to complain about the people complaining about the other people complaining.

After getting raped by Man Utd and facing a relegation dogfight, he finds time to fish for a contract for his pal. Good to see he has his priorities sorted.
Based on reputations and former glories, a team containing Owen, Butt, Smith, Geremi, Carr and Duff would be challenging for the title.
As we are in a relegation battle, I can conclude that they are finished.
Owen scoring in crucial matches is a myth. In international tournaments his record is shambolic
How is it a myth? off the top of my head...
vs Argentina 98 (goal + pen)
vs Brazil 02
vs Arsenal FA Cup Final (2 goals)
vs Man Utd Charity Shield
vs Portgual 04 (goal + pen)
Charity Shield?
Owen's problem isn't that he doesn't score in crucial games, it's that he's finished.
He isn't the same player he was, true, but to say he's finished is an over-statement.
Put him in the Arsenal or Man Utd team and I'm certain he'd bang in loads of goals.
Obviously Wenger and Ferguson disagree, or they would have taken him off us.
