After his goal against City makes it impossible for me to dislike him...nomatter what he does 
Michael Owen is such a cringeworthy scrote, isn't he?

That's rough. Its basically the equivalent of us deciding to give Ince and Gabi Heinze ambassador jobs.The salesman wearing a pink sweater and yellow trousers. Like a hard boiled custard rhubarb.
This is old, I guess, but I've just seen this.
The resume, that Neville Southhall video, the helicopter tour in Dubai and this. What a smug cnut.
Can't say I hate him though. He's a mildly unlikeable person, at best.
Never forget his greatest performance:
He's Welsh.
At 50 seconds while the salesman is revving the car, and Michael Owen just goes 'Yeah' is confusing. Is that his way of conveying excitement?
Don't pawn him off on us, he was born in Chester.
I never get that impression. Seems the opposite to me. He's so up his own smug arse he doesn't really need the approval of anybody else. Michael Owen loves Michael Owen, and Michael Owen knows Michael Owen is the only person who matters so why bother with the rest of us plebs?
I hate that he played for us. Probably my least favourite United player ever.
He has literally no personality. He's as dull and uninteresting as an overcast day.
Think he's my least favourite united player ever as well. Can't stand him.
Think you maybe thinking about Danny Murphy, I maybe wrong.
Thought he was born and still lives in Harwarden. Dated a bird years ago from down that way. Fecking nuts btw
The version I've heard, is that he and his family lived there, but they made sure he was born in England in Chester which is close by. No one in his family are Welsh and iirc it was important to them that he was English.Think you maybe thinking about Danny Murphy, I maybe wrong.

And that's because she was from Harwarden, everything north of Powys in Wales is terrible.
Ahh OK, that makes sense.
I can't actually find anything to verify this, but I've only half-heartedly looked because I'm a lazy bastard, so take it with a massive amount of salt.
His goal against City was in my opinion the single most dramatic goal scored by a United player of the last 10 years, easily. Not sure how anybody could forget that game.
As far as him being a Liverpool legend, well he was the last English player to win the Ballon d'or.

The strangest thing for me was when he was doing his commentary work after retiring, he tended to actually come across as more pro-Utd than he did pro-Liverpool. Nothing major and I couldn't point to anything in particular, but just a general 'feel' that I often got.
And then Liverpool made him an ambassador.
The last job you would ever give to him is surely a commentary job!
Does not stopping him being a nasty little twat.
If there is a god/some divine force I have failed to recognise and appease, and as such I am doomed to the ultimate suffering in an afterlife, I'm pretty sure it will take the form of an eternity stuck in a lift with Michael Owen.
And owen hargreaves just for good measure.
He has annoyed me ever since he was on our bench and didn't celebrate when we scored some important goal. The whole bench went mental, and he just sat there.
I used to idealise him growing up (I used to watch England and didn't get into club football until I was 10).
I honestly had no idea he was such a boring cnut.

I like him. Top bloke. Admire his work in the horsey world.
Won't stop criticising Rooney for not taking a penalty tonight.
Wanker.
Wanker.
Hargreaves shut that comment down so hard
Absolute mug.
I haven't seen it, but as a world class striker as Owen was once upon a time, sure he recognises the value in being incredibly selfish. It's a positive in strikers
Makes no sense.
Rooney isnt a starter while pogba and martial need the pic me up going into sunday.
Clown

I like how he said the first one was probably just about a foul. It was absolutely blatant and as clear cut a penalty as you'll see.
Biased scouse cnut.
Biased scouse cnut.
You need to see it really.
I really want to like him but he made it extra difficult tonight. Wouldn't shut up whining about Rooney being a centre forward. Fits his self centred attitude though.
On the contrary, really liked Hargreaves' comments tonight.

Owen almost seems to be embarrassed about his time playing for us now despite winning the Premier League. He's doing everything now to get back in with the scouse.
I dont know any Liverpool fans that actually like him. Few embarrassed hes an ambassador for them too.
What a pointless thing to talk about for 4 minutes.
I wonder what tune he'd be singing if we'd offered him an ambassador role instead of Liverpool (imagine that - Michael Owen being considered level with our current ambassadors
).Given that we were I think the only one of his old clubs not to boo him when he later played against them, he's probably determined to be hated by all of his former clubs
Apart from the 'Rooney is still good' stuff both Owens are not saying anything wrong though imo.
Owen is saying his p.o.v totally as striker and his ego/confidence. Think about it, even after all his transfer (leaving Liverpool, becoming token Englishman at Madrid, becoming the 'saviour' at Newcastle, moving to Utd, not to mention his international career) and injuries, you never got the impression he was mentally weak. That's his game. He was saying 'as a striker you have to got to demand your authority as a goal scorer'.
Hargreaves is equally right about the whole team narrative. Team comes first and Rooney is not really in a position of form/confidence or stature to command being the main man anymore.

Can't believe no one has mentioned that brochure from when his Newcastle contract was expiring, that was truly cringeworthy.
