Tenpoless' theory about the "fascinating idiot" Michael Owen :
When Jose was our manager and We were in deep shit, He saw a chance - He tried to be even more critical than He actually was when He said We had no chance against PSG. He tried to show people if He's not as daft as people think He was - "Hey me also controversial and very smart!".
He then tried backup his statement when We lost at home and added snide comments like "I'd tell my players to kick Rashford because He's injured if I was the manager" to generate even more attention and that He secretly wanted us to not progress (because He wanted to be proven right). After the first leg, He was becoming really sure that We'd not advance further, waiting for his "I told you so" moment on TV.
But alas, it didn't go as his expectation. We won the game in a legendary fashion and when the other pundits were celebrating, He refused to join in and not because He necessarily hates us. It's simply because He'd have made a much bigger fool out of himself if He did. He had no other choice but to praise us but still "playing it cool" for the Television - "Me no big fan of United, me wrong but me praise now, me still look cool!".
Next season, I wish He'll get replaced by Antonio Valencia on TV. Yes, the guy can't speak English but I'd rather watch a paint dry than to listen to Michael Owen. Hell, Valencia could sing the Ecuadorian version of Careless Whispers or do 1000 crosses with his left foot and it's still going to have more insights than Owen's commentaries for 3 football matches.
He's turning into a Stevie Me and that's how you end up acting de mickey.
