Michael Owen (now retired)


Recommended Posts

My favourite ever football viewing experience was when I found a stream of a match that just had the camera showing the inside of the stadium at half time. It was class, watching people go for their pint and that, was like being there.

 

If I could just watch a camera inside the ground I would much rather do that, especially at SJP.

 

watched the QPR game on a Senegalese channel in the local.  HT was basically Senegalese MTV.  Once you've seen that, even Gary Neville's superb punditry is boring.

“@Paul_Twist: @themichaelowen you're shite” Thanks. You are probably right but I once had more talent in my little toe than you ever will.

 

Just saw this tweet. Almost made me sad. Don't think he'd have said something like that a while ago - low on confidence.

:yao:

I just wish there was any pundit on TV who would speak their own mind and not just trot out the same old predictable cliched bollocks that fits whatever headline/conclusion has been decided on from the match.

 

I think there'll be more and more in the mould of Gary Neville in the coming years, and that we might see the likes of Jonathan Wilson / Michael Cox sneaking onto telly as pundits

Itll never swing THAT far that way, more likely to have big Jon on than someone as insightful as that...

You mean like Robbie Savage? He's a breath of fresh air, you know.

 

he says the exact same s*** they all do (I know you're being sarcastic btw) but for some reason, maybe because he says it less eloquently, people think it's different.

 

Footballers are famously dim, yet are given the chief analysis roles, it's utterly baffling to me.

 

I wouldn't mind James Richardson presenting the matches and a couple proper experts with a guest (to appease the masses). I wish Vickery did british footy (saying that I get the impression he still knows more).

 

Jeff Stelling is a perfect example of someone who deos a great job with no history of being a pro footballer.

hard to believe he won the Ballon D'or once

 

To be fair, he was amazing until he did his hamstring the first time. Before that he was fearless. Completely lost his nerve afterwards, though.

 

That said, all he ever cared about was Michael Owen, Michael Owen's England career and Michael Owen's horses.

Piers Morgan ‏@piersmorgan

Evening Benchwarmer @themichaelowen - I found some toys by the side of your pram at the Emirates, want them back?

 

:lol:

 

:anguish: I'd find that shit funny if it wasn't Piers Morgan. :lol: Their ferocious battles are just a game of which tosser can out-toss the other more.

And the wonderful thing about it? His career went to s***, his England career went downhill post-puberty and one of these days one of his horses will most likely do him.

There is something delightfully karmic about it. He fucks over his childhood club for "glory" at Real Madrid. He ends up on the bench, his career never recovers, while his former teammates all pick up CL winners medals.

 

He continues to make decisions based on the glory of Michael Owen, and every single one hurts his career even more.

 

It'd be quite fitting if one of his horses did kick his head in.
