owen is despised by a lot of football supporters , bindippers hate him for playing for yooonited , newcastle hate him because he stole a living from them , he is a misinformed wind up merchant , he is a bitter man who didnt make the best of his skills , every transfer he took was for the money , morally and ethically bereft , he is an irrelevance.
Agree mate apart from your last comment.
As a co-commentator he is very hard to ignore. I would like nothing more than to forget this monotone, money-obsessed, supercilious (as a neighbour I can reveal that both he and his wife have been repeatedly guilty of talking to tradesmen working on their estate like absolute shit) personality-vacuum ever sullied the game. But I can't. Because BT know they have a hate figure on their hands and that is presently good for ratings.
But we've got to make them - and him - aware that there is a line. And an ex-United player (who once scored one of the most contentious goals ever against us no less) calling us by THEIR name a total of six times in two consecutive games - and worse yet chuckling to himself about his inability to remember our fucking name! - is a country mile over that line.
