Michael Owen (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Great player in his younger years, started off pretty well here too. Unfortunately he was as big a mercenary twat as you will find, including his move to NUFC.

 

The comments about sitting on the bench for a bigger club instead of playing sum him up as a man.

The major point of Michael Owen's final season as a professional footballer.

This guy is an embarrassment, really is.

 

Copuld have dropped down to the championship and joined a Brighton or Cardiff, and probably done really well in that type of team. Maybe even Wigan in the prem.

 

Instead for some incomprehensible reason joins Stoke, where everyone knew he'd never get a game, because Pulis literally doesn't know what to do with players under 6 foot 2.

 

What an absolute farce.

Still remember the buzz I got the day he signed, it lasted for about 4 days afterwards. I was sitting there staring at a computer screen in a job I hated day after day with a massive smile on my face. We had just signed Michael fucking Owen, man, England striker from Real Mafuckingdrid. 20 thousand fans turned up to welcome him. 20 fucking thousand!!. Absolutely loved him in the early days for us, some really memorable moments; will never forget his header against the Mackems and the subsequent roar of the crowd. Contrast that with the feeling of absolute devastation when he got injured at the 2006 world cup which ruined not only the world cup for me but my entire summer.

 

Now, I hate the little bastard, for obvious reasons. Hope his horses bolt the stables and blow the lid on an animal sex ring he presides over. That sadly is not likely.

To think he was signed ahead of Nicolas Anelka, who was the striker Souness initially wanted. I remember being not as thrilled about it too, especially with all those intial claims he only wanted to join on loan.

 

Thought Anelka would have been a far better signing. He of course went on to be brilliant for Bolton instead.

 

Imagine if we had signed Anelka and Boa Morte who Souness had initially targetted, but instead got Owen and Luque. Urgh.

Again, hindsight is 20/20, but Luque was brilliant at the time too.
