Fairsy, here's an awful thought, what if you had Owen and the other tosser David Pleat doing a Mags game? Don't think I could hold me cookies down  The networks would want to put him on a Mags match since he allegedly played for NUFC. And that idiot Pleat didn't think McManaman tackle was that bad........said might be a yellow FFS! Idiot! |

Nicked this for Canny..........from
MarcSDuffy Newcastle blog........should fire the C-man up ;D ;D ;D
Owen's final season at Newcastle was a disaster. He did OK by his standards in terms of appearances (28 Premier League games) but his uninspiring captaincy and lack of goals (10) weren't enough to prevent a multi-million pound Newcastle squad from being shockingly relegated.
His appearances were underwhelming, he still talked England to the press and his reluctance to sign a new contract even when the club were not languishing in the relegation zone added to the uncertainty and negativity.
He reminded me of a cruise ship captain who steers his ship into the rocks and then makes sure he is the first to safety as his ship sinks.
He confirmed what we all thought when he tweeted 'Prefer playing less often for a top team than every game in a poor team' two years after he left.
Before the season ended, Owen announced his intention to leave and before his contract expired he released a brochure aimed at finding him a new club in which he described himself as a brand, as good looking and best of all as fit and healthy! Derek Llambias estimated that Owen cost Newcastle United about £1.3million per goal.
Newcastle fans aren't alone in their lack of respect for Owen though -- Liverpool fans feel the same way but for different reasons.
Owen once Tweeted that you need to have thick skin in the world of Twitter - he certainly needed it when he decided to host a Q-and-A session on the site last year! Fans of clubs from all over England took potshots at him!
Owen, estimated to be worth over £40million, once took to Twitter complaining about having to pay 20p to use a public toilet at a train station. I paid in excess £2000 over four years to watch him turn up for fitness when England were on the horizon and then captain my club towards relegation!
No, it's not because of injuries that I don't like Michael Owen, it is for the lack of respect that he showed my football club -- a club who made him a very, very rich man.
