BT is really bad. Sky and RTE are much better. I don't like the commentary and the analysis seems pretty basic.
Michael Owen has always been a cringe monster

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Owen is the biggest gobshite. He is one person I dont even want to talk about the weather with.
He should not be on TV commentary - he is so biased and deluded, one tone dull and turns people off of BT sport.
These ex Liverpool players are so biased and blinkered it’s embarrassing.

Yes… It’s stupid to say Liverpool is the best team in the world when they neither won PL nor CL.
I find it strange Liverpool supporters and ex players honestly and strongly believe Liverpool is the best team in the world.
Everyone agree Liverpool deserved to win yesterday and is a better team than RM. Everyone agree Liverpool plays exiting football and is among top 5 teams in the world.
…. BUT I can’t understand how people who watch both City and Liverpool can argue Liverpool is a better team than City
I have a feeling also PSG is a better team than Liverpool, but it’s off course difficult to compare when they play in different leagues and haven’t meet for a while.
Liverpool aren’t a better team than Madrid. The proof is in the pudding.Yes… It’s stupid to say Liverpool is the best team in the world when they neither won PL nor CL.

To be fair, Gerrard wasn’t too bad. The rest should be all on LFC tv.
Hated by the fan bases of every club he's ever played for. Sucking up to them now won't change that.
A truly vacuous little turd if ever there was one.

Gerrard looked like he hated Michael owen being next to him
Does anyone have a link to what he said and Rio sorting him out last night ?

everyone agrees Liverpool deserved to win yesterday? Apart from the fact they should have lost 2-0 you mean?I have a question for the non British football fans here. Do the foreign pundits sound as stupid as The British ones too normally?
Owens a clown. Some of the stuff he comes out with Apparently the best team in europe ends the season without the CL and PL… can see how that works. Not even the best team in the prem.. there behind city. There also behind Madrid in Europe. To be called the best you have to win the best 2 trophy’s available.

He's such a massive deluded idiot, just like the average Liverpool supporter.Owens a clown. Some of the stuff he comes out with
Love how Rio slapped him down when he said Liverpool were the best team in europe, might have even said the world, I was laughing that much. Rio was right, unless you win the big two trophies you cannot be considered the best.
Owen is desperately trying to ingratiate himself with Liverpool fans when they hate him as well.
Exactly. Similarly when he was sayin Van Dijk is the greatest defender of all time
You can tell he’s trying his best to be accepted by the LFC fan base again and they all hate him.
He's such a casual football fan almost everything he says seems like complete rubbish. He gives off an aura of somebody who watches about 6 games a season.
This guy wants to be loved by Liverpool so much, you can tell it eats at him. He’d 100% give his PL medal back for them to chant his name. It’s hilarious to watch.
It's difficult to see how anyone could love Owen. He's a charisma vacuum
I regularly watch a smaller league in Europe and despite not speaking the language fluently, there’s far more actual analysis pre and post game.
Imagine watching the build up to the game and they actually talk about how the tactics are going to match up and things to look out for.
To be fair it ruined his relationships with Liverpool fans and he's clearly hurt by that (although what the hell did he expect?).
I always found that foreign pundits on English speaking TV speak a lot of sense most of the time. Even Jose when he is in for the international matches. Arsene and Gullit too.
Fergie should never have picked him for the CL Final. Never.
Ye he is, he’s always been the same though, he’s not the smartest guy aswell… some of his quotes down the line… ‘footballers these days often have to use their feet’ ‘that would of been a goal if it went inside the post’
Stating the obvious.Did he say this?
Do they now?Yes… It’s stupid to say Liverpool is the best team in the world when they neither won PL nor CL.

Can't win their own League, can't win the Champions League, yet are still the best team in Europe
When Rio said they’d just lost Owen went on about how it’s a one off game and anything can happen. What about the 38 game league they also lost mate?
Exactly. Hes always spouted some utter garbage but trying to claim the team who just lost the final and finished second in the league are the best is right up there. Talk about deluded.
Did he really say that? My god he's dumber than a second coat of paint then.Ye he is, he’s always been the same though, he’s not the smartest guy aswell… some of his quotes down the line… ‘footballers these days often have to use their feet’ ‘that would of been a goal if it went inside the post’
Can't blame Owen, he never won UCL as a player, and won the PL only once in 2011 with United as a bit part player where he barely reached the number of league appearances required for a title winner's medal, he doesn't understand the perspective of winning big trophies and being an important part of it, RM got the double of La Liga & UCL, they are of course a better team than Liverpool
Yep it was only a couple of weeks ago
How can he argue with Liverpool being the best team in Europe when they haven't even beaten any of the top 4 in England and beaten by Madrid last night?
Ye, honestly some of the quotes he’s said whilst commentating. Don’t know how he keeps getting jobs doing punditry and commentary.
Also, one of my pet peeves is idea that Liverpool deserved to win because the keeper made some great saves. Courtois is a Real Madrid player. If he came out on top against Liverpool’s forwards, why would that mean Liverpool “deserve” to win the game?!?
Jesus Christ
. So the Real Madrid keeper is not supposed to make any saves? If he is there not to make saves, then what on Earth is he on the pitch as a keeper?But but they were the better team.
I think person you quoted meant to say the same thing.
