Michael Owen (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Cliché bingo.

 

From a bloke who fucking captained us (to relegation, which again he fails to hold his hands up for).

 

I know he is a bellend but you would think even he would know a little more about the club than your two bit journalist but reading his shite you'd think he'd never really been to SJP.

 

Prick!

A mid table club that was big enough to sign players off Real Madrid and pay them a hundred grand a week. The problems arose when they turned out to be a boring, self-obsessed whinging little arsehole with no heart and a right foot like a feather duster being waved at a breeze block.

Owen is one of the worst signings we've made, to think so many idiots turned up to welcome him.  :lol:

I remember a certain poster of old who constantly banged on about what a great signing  that's to how wonderful Freddie Shepherd was as a chairman lol

You're going to turn into NE5 if you start having needless digs at people in topics where everyone must share the same opinion :lol:

Aye, what idiots, they (including me) should have known how it would have panned out.

 

Agreed.

 

Howay man.  It seemed a very exciting signing at the time and having thousands of people turn up at the ground to greet such a signing used to be one of the things that enticed us to the world as a great club with fanatical support.

Let's not re-write history, Owen was a quality striker when we signed him. I was ecstatic when he signed, although it quickly turned sour and we saw what he was really like.

 

At the time though, the prospect of Shearer and Owen up front was mouth watering. Owen was a great influence when he first joined, suddenly every other player looked a little better and he was scoring goals to win us points.

 

By the end though, I was glad to see the back of him. Playing for England at the World Cup when he wasn't fit for us, the subsequent injury, the lackadaisical approach to being captain... He's a cunt of a bloke.

I was excited as fuck but the 'hopefully I'll score goals for four years' always sounded ominous. The little cunt never wanted to be here, like, even though he generally always looked excellent when fit (until the last season).

 

He was terrific during that spell under Keegan (quelle surprise) when he was an AMC.

Yep, surprisingly good at shielding the ball and laying it off. Was a good role for him with his diminishing pace. It was a good example of Keegan as more than just a "go out and play your game, score more than the opposition" stereotype.
