Michael Owen: A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND

"There are a couple of possibilities when I've finished and media might interest me. Gary Neville is a breath of fresh air and has almost encouraged me to do it.

I bet he has...and I can guess who has suggested to him it is a good idea. Ferguson anyone?

"I get excited when it's half-time now because he's so intelligent and brings something new to it."[/b]

I actually want to be sick at this comment from a former liverpool player about a former manchester united player whose hatred for our club has been voiced time and again.

Its not that I expect better from Owen, and I never thought that fondly of him as a liverpool player either, but the thought of having to sit and watch him looking up to Neville on Skysports, talking up man united and no doubt putting the boot into liverpool with the rest of them makes me nauseous.

The day that happens, and the kop chants for dalglish to lose his job (Stanley Park) is the day I would stop following football and the reds. We're meant to be better than this.

Ah. my former hero. What happened to this guy seriously?

He won a uefa cup and got too big for his boots.

Never liked him, even when he first burst onto the scene.

Completely lacking in personality.

More interested in horse racing than football.

He has become a bench warmer with the Mancs and is perfectly happy with that.

When Houllier kept Owen and Heskey and sold Fowler and refused to sign Anelka, who we had on loan at the time that was the beginning of the end for him.

He was deadly in his first years and very exciting to watch. I really liked him during those years, he was no doubt a great player for us.

Im not going to lie, Owen is my second favourite player ever to wear a Liverpool shirt. Im not going to turn against him just because he joined Manchester United, they offered him a contract and he took it, as far as I know any of you would with the wages he's getting. The brochure thing was shameful though

perhaps as a waining force, desperate to again represent england he could be forgiven for joining a big team. being manchester uniteds social media PR machine though is totally unacceptable. if he was smarter he would have realised that was why they were signing him in the first place. then again, he might also have a champions league medal

Besides my Uncle's love for Liverpool, Owen is the main reason why I started supporting this club believe it or not. He was explosive and deadly in front of goal. Everything you wanted from a striker. There is no shame in admitting he was a great player for us in the past even tho he has decided to join our rivals.
