Michael Owen (now retired)

[TBG]

'as I say in my book' such a gimp.

Owen doesn't deserve to be named in the same sentence as Shearer.

[matta]

He has no clue what loyalty is. Having second thoughts when i gets tough is human. Staying and fighting back is where the loyalty's at. He wouldn't know.

[geordiesteve710]

kind respect him more for booting off with shearer somehow, the worthless little cunt

 

I've got no respect for him at all. Horrid individual. Says it all that none of the fans of any of his former teams hold him in any kind of regard or have any respect for him.

 

i guess i mean that shearer is brutal on twitter, can't remember anyone getting the better of him and this daft little cunt who pretty much everyone hates decides to have a pop

 

Picking an argument with a bigger name to drum up interest in his book and make a few extra quid. I know it's a typical publisher trick when it comes to footballers books but it suits him down to the ground- shameless and shoddy.

No idea how Henry Winter looks at this situation and thinks that the right opinion

Try and read that without throwing up.

Lack of self-awareness in people is such a hard trait to understand if you have self-awareness.

 

I find it impossible to understand how Owen feels hard done by in all of this. He clearly thinks he isn't a cunt, even though the vast majority of normal people and people plying the same trade as he did disagree with him. Like how he finds it reasonable to humiliate a 13 year old goalkeeper who is probably a big fan of his - who does that?! No shaking the kid's hand or giving him tips and advice, just running off and celebrating after he'd nutmegged him. Maybe it stems from him being worshipped from 15 years old and he never had the chance to develop any humility.

 

Hated him as a player, laughed at him as a pundit, pity him now as he tries to keep himself relevant. File him away with Keys and Gray.

Looking back, I love Keegan like, but what in the actual fuck was he thinking making this piece of shit captain?

It got the best out of him.

[Scoot]

Hope Shearer knocks the little cunt out next time he see's him.

 

Obviously he's just trying to be as controversial as possible to sell as many of his books as possible.

And squashed the shit stirring in the media that he didn’t rate him (from England days). Was an astute tactical move by KK all-round, especially the position he got Owen to play. Not bad for someone who doesn’t know anything about tactics...

[xLiaaamx]

I guess so, I just cant imagine Owen being anything but a horrendous presence in the dressing room to be honest. Type of player you leave the boot in on in training because he's such a cunt.

[tinoasprilla]

I do wonder if Shearer being unhappy (if he was) became the catalyst for Shepherd getting rid of Robson and replacing him with Sourness.  Who apparently was a golfing buddy of Shearer

 

Either way Owen is a despicable runt and our worst ever signing

 

Seems even stranger that Owen wasnt even around at the time.

[M4]

I'm trying not to get wound up by this... The best barometer here is that even Liverpool fans hate him.

 

Where he had the best years of his career and won trophies.

The best response I saw on this Twitter furore was the response by some guy Yogi @shaunYogi (apologies as I'm not familiar with the protocol mularky)

 

"If I was on a desert island with Michael Owen and a tin of corned beef, I'd eat Michael Owen and talk to the corned beef"

 

'Av it you insignificant mercenary dweeb.

 

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

That's decent

[midds]

Nothing there that we didn’t all strongly suspect at the time tbh. Very telling that the only way he could get anyone even remotely interested in his new book is to actually confess how much of an unprofessional, narcissistic, self important utter cunt he genuinely is. He’s got the personality of a fucked beige radiator and he’s an absolute shithouse to boot. Little twat is best off being ignored.

[gbandit]

Hope one of his horses absolutely decks him

[Slim]

To be fair Owen rinsed Shearer if thats true

[Dinho lad]

To be fair Owen rinsed Shearer if thats true

 

And? Doesn't make Owen any less of a cunt that deserves to be puked on.

[Decky]

Was the Liverpool thing during the Robson era not common knowledge anyway? I knew it anyway and I'm no ITK.

[Andy]

To be fair Owen rinsed Shearer if thats true

 

Not really like? The fact remains that Shearer didn't leave and continued to play and score goals through till his retirement, breaking records in the process that the likes of Owen would never get near to in his ultimately disappointing career. Owen is a mercenary hated by the fans of every single club he played for, his words are as brittle as his ankles.

Yep can't recall how it came out like but I assumed everyone knew about it.

[Guest neesy111]

Shearer was no saint at the end of the Robson era and one of the reasons why Souness got the job.
