Owen to retire

http://www.michaelowen.com/

Well, not a great surprise, it would be churlish to say that we got the best of him but the fact is we did, the last few years of his career were a complete waste of time and all the 'liverpool overplayed him' bullshit won't change that fact. The 2001 fa cup final will live long in the memory (well the last 15 minutes or so to be be exact)

Theoretically he retired years ago but now it's official.

I think if owen was 17 now his career would last alot longer at the top. The injury at leeds was a bad one and he was never the same after that pace wise.

Had a decent year at Real Madrid but he was basically finished after that.

Will always remember and appreciate what he did for us. After that was a non event.

Enjoy the horses michael....officially full time now.

He did serve us well with some great and important goals . Still can't believe he joined the scum though

3 things.

1.  For Liverpool he was magnificent. He won games with his goals.
2. In 2004, he then dumped on us from a great height by joining Real Madrid, claiming he wanted Champ.League footie. Liverpool then went on and won that trophy in 2005. Unlucky Micky !
3. He then joined the scummers. Another enormous Owen turd discharged onto us from above.

He's now what? 33 years old and Retired? 

He's a crap pundit and makes my skin crawl. rot you tick turd, rot.

Retire from what exactly?

  He is gone after he left us.  Now its the nail in the coffin, that's all.   

This was expected. He's done nothing since about 2007.

Burn!

As a lad I used to idolise Michael Owen. Injuries ruined the lads career, but the greed and disloyalty he showed to Liverpool (and other clubs) means that I won't be shedding a tear thinking what might have been for the man.

Had he made different decisions in his career, right now there would be millions of fans regretting the fact he's getting out of the game. As things stand though, I'm afraid not many will bother.

Grew up idolizing this man and now he's retiring having such a career downfall it's hard to feel anything really. It's not like him being retired will change how he's been for the past few years, except he may be a pundit more often

That's the sad truth and wealth is not the mark of a man, so some of those decisions I'd believe he'll regret when the time comes and he looks back upon his life. Maybe he wont, I could easily be wrong, I just get a feeling decisions like that would eat away at you, what could of been eh?

Like you say, wont be missed and was forgotten a long time ago.

Who gives a sh*t anyway.

Michael, you won't get any good wishes from Liverpool fans for your retirement, the reason for this - once a manc, never a red!

Who gives a sh*t anyway.

Exactly,he didn't give a sh*t about us when Real Madrid came calling.

Thought he had retired around 5 years ago. Guess we will have to put up with the scumbag on MOTD 2 now.

You summed it up quite nicely there mate.

Where were you in Istanbul?

It's not a popular opinion but I for one wish him well. He was my first ever footballing idol and even though he joined the Mancs, his contribution in introducing me to Liverpool FC alongside Jamie and Stevie when I was 11 years old will mean eternal respect from me. I thought and still think he's one of the best footballers we've (and England) ever been blessed with and I for one hope he enjoys his retirement. His career may have gone downwards after he left us but for me he is always one of my top football heroes.

Enjoy retirement and most of all thank you Michael. Without your help I wouldn't be the proud proud Liverpool fan I am today.

He may have won few PL titles which Gerrard didn't. But he will not be remembered or loved as Gerrard.

Loved him when he played for us. Very exciting player. I wish him all the best - he left me with some fantastic memories. Not that bothered about what he did when he left LFC. It sticks in the craw a bit that he went to Man U, but honestly, most of the time they don't even register on my consciousness. Also, the issue of loyalty is moot in this day and age. How many of us have a job with the same company all our lives? it's becoming more and more rare. So thanks for the goals, MO. But stay off the telly.

Was fantastic at Liverpool.
He left, we used the money to get Alonso.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
