Michael Owen

“Talk to me about your logic of picking that number because your Aunt Mabel once lived at number 22 was going to bring you some kind of fortune?”

“Right, so you accept the first deal, five minutes into the programme do you, you selfish ****. I’ll just stand here like a twat and try and make the next 55 minutes sound interesting then shall I? “

“Actually, James, my strategy was using each number as its position in the alphabet and if you examine it more closely, you’ll notice it spells out James Acaster is a ****.”
 
Not sure if its been mentioned before, haven't scanned the whole thread but despite any hard feelings toward Michael Owen did anyone on here realise that his 17 year old son - James is blind? I was astounded to learn this... just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but.....

Really sad.

 
That is sad.

Owen is actually a good example of our media and how they make someone into something theyre not. Best in the world they told us after his WC exploits. Not even the best in cheshire.

Agree he was nowhere near the best in the world category in my books, but he was a bloody good player. Back in the day City could have done with him.

Clive Owen (one for the 80s refugees on here) would probably have got into our team back in the day. The De Bruyne of his era. With Anne Diamond in the Rodri role.

He was an absolutely amazing striker who would have smashed the England all time goal record if it wasn’t for completely snapping his hamstring at 23. Look at how much Foden has started to improve now at 23. Owen was basically never the same player from that age.

Sometimes we disagree with who wins the European player of the year but average players certainly don’t win it.
 
Owen is obviously a massive dickhead, but feel like he makes a rare valid point here:


Why is he a massive dickhead? I know he has done a few cringey adverts but he seems pretty harmless to me. Am I missing something??
 
Maybe "massive dickhead" was a bit over the top, but he's a bit of a tool as this video shows.

"Well done, he's 13".


There's a clip somewhere of him explaining that the director was encouraging him to act that way. Either he is lying or naive for going along with it.
