Michael Owen has always been a cringe monster

[Oranges038]

I wouldn’t mind so much but it’s taken me years to get over the time he laughed at me for not saving (all) his penalties.

Good job Southall was there to stick up for me

He's such a tool.

Forgot he also won BBC personality vacuum of the year back in the day.

He only threw a dart at you for a laugh.

You should have moved.

Can we add Sourness, Mcmanaman and Phil Thompson to Owen?!
They're all the same ilk!

The nose still doing punditry? Though he was let go a few years ago

Apparently he was on the celeb version of Deal or no deal the other week too
May have to dredge it up on the hub

The three of them came out strongly against Keano defending the VVD aftermatch comments.

He's probably the same. The apple doesn't fall far from the TV.

Michael Owen at last nights SPOTY awards talking about the time he threw a dart at someone … and hit them, but they should have moved apparently

The poor person who got hit probably didn’t realise all the training that had gone into it with apple throwing so didn’t expect him to hit the target.

He seems to think Brendan Rodgers was Liverpool manager in 2009

“Everything is a challenge,” he began. “I’ll eat an entire sack of pies watching the TV at night and the bin will be by the TV about six metres away.

“And I have the bravery to throw the pies in the air and miss my mouth and for there to be a stain on my jacamo muumuu. My wife will absolutely scream at me and send me to the winch I use to get upstairs to my reinforced bed."

Would be interesting to know what teammates thought of him as a person. (Scholes )

It's a normal reaction. If you immediately spark into a singy dance you're a melt/tool/plum. But carry on...

A normal reaction is to start singing bastardised version of chim chiminey from Mary Poppins?

Maybe to feck it up and look uncomfortable is normal. Being a slick happy media cretin has me reaching for my hand grenades and copies of Good Housekeeping.

Well I'd agree with the last part but you'll never convince me there's anything normal about Michael Owen

His poor son, I bet he wishes he was deaf instead of blind, then he wouldn't have to listen to his dad being a massive cringey twat.

Out of order posting this story in here, we can laugh at Owen for most of the stuff he does but I don't see anything wrong with wanting to help his son with a disability.

I listened to a bit of this on the radio yesterday. Went into depth about his son and the visual impairness he suffered from that meant he had to stop playing football and doesn't really watch it now either. Cue Michael to talk about how VISUALLY amazing the Klopp Liverpool team is and how VISUALLY different this new Klopp side is etc.

 

[Oranges038]

Bet he still puts him in goal for volleys.

Well done, he's 17...

Jesus Christ, is that actually true? If so, that’s tragic.

Additionally, that tache is not a good look. At all.

No that sounds slightly interesting and will ruin the whole experience

In fairness, his account would have 100s of millions in there. If not his mum it'd be an accountant or agent doing it.
