| Owen: Crocked |
Michael Owen became the latest footballer to join the Twitterlution recently and with it has already started to join the likes of RIOFERDY5 and WAZZAROON08GRANNYSHAGGER in winding me and most other people up, in particularly after his cameo appearance against Newcastle last week.
The controversy started when the Newcastle fans greeted his arrival and every touch (all two of them) with massive booing, to which Owen responding via his twitter page:
themichaelowen: Knew I would get booed as that's what a lot of fans do but if they knew the facts then they may have a different opinion.
Thing is themichaelowen, we do know the facts. Liverpool supporters know the facts, Newcastle supporters know the facts and to be honest I think even most Manchester United fans know the facts. You are a greedy little bastard who has fucked over every club that has given you a chance. You only ever cared about playing for your wonderful/shitty little country and playing with your little ponies. Every time your hamstring went your only concern was what Ingurland games you were going to miss. Fuck the clubs who were paying your extortionate wages.
Owen sat with a contract waiting to be signed at Liverpool for two years giving no indication he was ready to walk away, eventually leaving for a pittance to Real Madrid. Once he got to Madrid the only legacy he left behind was the imprint of his arse on the bench. Why he is surprised Newcastle fans hate him is a mystery. He managed 30 goals in four injury ravaged years, spent most of his time crippled then showed no regard at all for the club as they tumbled out the top flight. If I remember right, he almost skipped off the pitch at Villa Park on the day they went down. I think the most telling thing about his time at Manchester United is that their fans can’t be bothered taunting Liverpool fans that he plays for them now, and their fans aren’t the type to miss an opportunity to sing about Liverpool or Scousers.
When he collects his Premier League winners medal next month I hope he takes it home and puts it in his collection and everytime he sees it, it reminds him how little he contributed to winning it. Because that is the legacy of Michael Owens entire career post 2004 – LACK OF CONTRIBUTION. The sooner the little money grabbing cretin retires the better.
My hatred of Owen doesn’t stem from him signing for Man United. You can’t really blame him for choosing them when the other options were Stoke or the terminally miserable city of Hull. It stems from Owen only caring about 1/ England 2/ Money and 3/ Horses in that order.
I also see that Chelsea fans are yet to develop brains, or even just a brain cell with their annual booing of Wayne Bridge. I’d love to meet some of these idiots and actually put the question to them: Why are you booing him?
How dare Bridge be upset that one of his mates jumped into bed with his ex about a week after they split up. What kind of monster is he? The fact that Bridge put an end to his international career over it should tell them that it was more than speculation. Chelsea fans aren't known for their common sense but their booing of Bridge really does take the piss.
Talking of Chelsea, the Torres goal famine is finally over thanks to a puddle. I’m delighted for him, only took him about a year. However, I’m almost certain that if I’d stood in front of goal for as long as he has I would of at least netted one by now. Chelsea are realistically back in with a chance of the title, but there is some irony that if Chelsea miss out by 3 points that it could end up being the two goals that the little backstabber scored against them back in January which could be the deciding factor in this year’s title race.
If you ever wondered how comically wrong one person could be? Step forward James Olley of the London Evening Standard with this piece of incredibly bad journalism from January. The beauty of hindsight:
