JH Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I don't care where he goes, who he plays for, how well or how much he plays in the future, how many medals he wins or whatever; I just want an open and honest explanation from him. He took so much money from us and gave next to nothing in return. I don't want injury excuses or poor form excuses or teammate excuses, I want an apology and an explanation from him as to why he never really was a true Newcastle United player. We gave him so much and he's ripped us apart ten swaddled off back to the big time. Good fucking riddance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I heard on one of the s*** media things (talkshit or Sky w*** News) that his injury record is actually not that bad. It's like he's left Newcastle and people have stopped slagging him off / telling us how injury prone he is. It's beyond a joke how some of the media spout this tripe. Nowt to do with what youve just said, but your signature under your avatar is one of my all time favourite film lines by one of my all time film characters. Well done, I immediately like you.

Guest toonlass Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Owen commented that: "It feels great. I never even had it in my wildest dreams really but then I got the call from the manager to come and meet him. Neither did we, you gormless twat. What the frig have you done to get a contract with Manyoo? "It was a shock but I'm obviously really happy and things have moved quickly since then. Shocked is quite understated at how most of the Newcastle fans feel after four years of shit from you. "I probably had a poor spell up at Newcastle but prior to that, my career was very good and I'm sure a top club like this can re-ignite my career. Hopefully I can score a few goals and help the team to more success. Probably? Probably? You WERE shite. You put as much effort in as the fucking 7 flights of stairs up to the Level 7 Leazes end did ffs. "It's early days but when you think about United, you automatically think about winning trophies, the stadium, the massive fanbase. And totally forget about my failure to be a success at Newcastle. "A lot is made of it and probably a lot will come out in the coming months and years but I certainly don't feel like I'm injury prone. And yet my years at Newcastle would suggest otherwise. "I'd like to think that everyone was quite surprised at how my medical was. I knew I would pass my medical, I've obviously passed them before. My fitness is fine." Although no-one was more surprised at me passing my medical than the Newcastle fans. When I was there I had trouble passing wind, never mind passing a medical.

Jayson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Reckon he'll do very well at a side like Man u. I'm sure he will but then I'm also sure an average striker would do well at Man U surrounded by all those good players. Depends what your expectations are. They normally go up when you're playing for Man U. Doing well for them would suggest a player who is significantly contributing to them being a better side, not just getting some tap ins.

Big Geordie Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 .com sum it up perfectly. 3 words to say 'a poor spell'. Would like to think that he'll fall on his arse at Man United and be dogged by injuries (as he was here) - won't happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he scores goals, I can't see him having the impact of a Tevez or Ronaldo in shaping the game's result. He's a cheap stand-by for Man U who will come in handy for a few games here and there. The fact he would rather be a second class citizen there than Captain of Newcastle even before we were relegated says it all really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Let's be honest. The main reason people are so arsey about this on here (not the only one by any means, I understand and appreciate the other sources of bitterness to Owen, and I'd feel the same) is that he's signed for Manchester United and not Hull City, and the spectre of an Owen enjoying success there after the sap that he was on your resources is just too much to bare. I'm right, aren't I? I'd feel the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Of course; I admitted as much earlier. It's the way he's come out of such shit smelling of roses that sticks in the throat. Mixing metaphors there but never mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right, aren't I? I'd feel the same. Well, of course that's it. But not just that he was a drain on our resources, more like, 'What did he do to deserve that?' We (the club, the fans) endured two seasons of utter shit and are now in the fizzy pop, but he somehow comes out of the whole mess smelling of fucking roses. Unbelivable.

Bowie Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 To put it in to the words of me Dad referring to his interview on Sky Sports: "He smiled more in those two minutes than he did in the four years he played for us, the little prick."

I think the main reason that people are feeling arsey about this is that we spent a fucking shedload of cash on transfer fees and wages on someone who looked like he couldn't give a fuck. I really think he was about at the level of maybe Stoke, Birmingham City or even Reading. To have the non-scoring, boring, unmotivated, unispiring (and remember he was captain of our club) twatfilled injury-clad arsehole get a contract at Man United is a fucking kick in the teeth.

indi Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Everyone seems to be assuming that this is all going to turn out well for Owen, I'm not so sure myself.

I think this'll end up like it did at Real with him hardly ever playing and getting all grumpy about it. Maybe he's a little more realistic now. Obviously once he got the Real move he thought he was Football King. Maybe now he realises he's just an decent, injury-prone striker with a limited game.

That's exactly what I'm saying, I'm entirely in agreement with you. It'd stick in my craw as well. Massively. If I were a Newcastle fan, I'd have been practically on my knees praying to see him limp off after his first home game at the KC Stadium next season. I'd also have this down as the last kick in the bollocks of a truly awful season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still injury prone now, going to Man U doesn't automatically change that, so I suspect you are right. I actually think his best move would have been to have gone to someone like Villa or Everton, where he'd have got a lot of football (if fit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
