Michael Owen (now retired)


Recommended Posts

The former England star is retiring after managing just one start for Stoke all season, because he says he can no longer cut it at the highest level since losing his blistering turn pace.

 

Eh? Why didn't he retire 12 years ago, then?

Hatred aside, he was one of the best from 97-04.

 

Would even say till that Spurs game in December 2005. He did very well for us in that first half of the season, not missing many games and scoring some good goals.

 

Ever since, though, he wasn't the same player.

I'm confused about these goal scoring records he'd have broken, given that at his peak he never broke 20 league goals in a season.

 

He had 40 goals for England, I don't think it's unreasonable to think he'd have smashed Charlton's record if he hadn't been injury prone.

 

He also had 118 Premier League goals by 25, Shearer had 104 at that age as a comparison (that's including his goals in the old First Division).

Yeah he didn't though, cos he's a crock who abused himself into an early retirement. Stupid boring little shite. Mashed that sprint button didn't he, the cunt.

2005 - The final goal assist of Michael Owen's Premier League career came in December 2005. Distant.

 

 

:lol:

 

Is that the one to Shearer at West Ham? :lol:

Didn't start and score in a PL game in the last 4 and a half years of his career - in the PL. Proper poacher, like.
