Elliottman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Why exactly are the Chronicle giving this prick a load of coverage at present? Baffling. I don't get it either as he shunned local journalists during his time here I'm sure Ryder has even hammered him before on Twitter because of it.

sturla Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I don't really get the big distaste everybody has for Owen. Sure, he didn't do his best during his relegation season, but that goes for everybody who played for us that year, and there is a reason for it. He started out really well before he got injured against Spurs and also had a good spell under Keegan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was too busy trying to make up positive words for the brochure to get him a new club. He is a self promoting little cunt, 99% of players will put themselves first but this little wanker really took it to another level and spent his entire career worrying about 'Brand Owen', in fact he is still doing it now.

Did any of our players apologies? Don't remember it honestly. I his branding and the brochure is bothering people, then fair play, it doesn't bother me however. Maybe I've just become to emotionally detached to football after the Ashley roller coaster. Making him captain was however a mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I've just become to emotionally detached to football after the Ashley roller coaster. Making him captain was however a mistake. I think the least a captain of a team can do is hold their hands up, especially when they have failed at getting the side up for it. He genuinely didn't care though, Newcastle United were relegated but Michael Owen was preparing for his new club. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he and his agent were putting them brochures together long before he had left. He knew he was out of contract and being the selfish little tosspot he was what was the point in him fighting to keep us up? He is also a boring tosser who just goes on about his achievements in the game and how he did this and that and nothing was his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 With Owen, it was always (and only) about him and England. Tells you all you need to know really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 With Owen, it was always (and only) about him and England. Tells you all you need to know really. Liverpool fans hate him, Real Madrid fans have forgotten who he is/was, Manchester United fans are indifferent about him, Stoke fans didn't really care and of course we f***ing hate him. Quite sad that he doesn't really have any love from any of the clubs he's been at but ultimately that's his own fault. As you say, Michael Owen only cared about Michael Owen. f*** him.

Cajun Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm glad he fucked up his career, obviously he made a lot of money which was all he really cared about but he's remember as a bit of a joke by most I have spoken to. He could have been looked back on as a brilliant forward. Should have stayed at Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm glad he f***ed up his career, obviously he made a lot of money which was all he really cared about but he's remember as a bit of a joke by most I have spoken to. He could have been looked back on as a brilliant forward. Should have stayed at Liverpool. When you look at it. His career was good. That's the only thing I agree with him about. 89 caps, 40 goals. Starred in a lot of big games and trophies. And he managed to pick up a few from the bench. He had a good 6/7 year prime where he picked up a lot of trophies and personal accolades.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think he knew that his body wasn't capable of playing regular PL football after a certain age, so he chose moves that would keep him involved it top-flight clubs without actually having to play every week.

James Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ryde should do these kind of interviews more often to be honest. Much better than the lazy speculation usually published. I'd like to read reflections from Clarence Acuna about his time here for example. However Owen is a boring and lazy choice of interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
