      Yep, he always was arrogant. In the end that was his downfall.

      Just compare his interview on the show to that of Sami Hyypia (Liverpool legend) who comes across as very modest and humble.

      Thought exactly the same thing foar, quite frankly I want to punch owen in the face whereas I have so much time for the legend that is Oh Sami Sami .....

      Micky reckons his next career move will be as a manager, his CV would make for an amusing read.

      Eagerly anticipating his next brochure for that one.

      He was a fantastic player. I loved him when he was here and he was my idol. I really can't bring myself to hate him like everyone else does. I hate the fact that he joined the scum, but he did so much for us, won us a trophy, played a vital part in our other ones, I just can't hate him.

      Three words that describe his career. Mercenary little b***ard!! I doubt he'll ever speak the truth of him stitching us up to go to Madrid. A pity his goals for us can't be edited to AN Other. At the end of the day he's bitter that injuries robbed him of what should have been a spectacular career as a centre forward and remembered as a great. His career spiralled downwards and he's become a laughing stock, living off past glories.

      Mission Impossible. That's Unreal Conditional.

      Why can't you just be indifferent to him? He left Liverpool so many years ago and still causes the pain. And I start thinking he ruined Liverpool or he is a serial killer. Did you love him so much when he was a Liverpool player?

      Thought exactly the same thing foar, quite frankly I want to punch owen in the face whereas I have so much time for the legend that is Oh Sami Sami ...

      He is a striker, in some way he has to be arrogant.

      Hope one day you'll get the opportunity to face him in person and realize what you intended to do with him in reality, not virtually. So, please, don't forget to take your camera with you, I just like to see pictures of that here! Thanks!

      Maybe I don't like the fact the little rat strung the club along for 12 months claiming he would sign a new contract and never did and would of walked away for F**k all to Real Madrid.

      He strung us along through 03/04. His agent went on a 'sabbatical', like some kind of teenage backpacker. Owen was part of an agency but of course no one else could deal with little Michael's contract, so we had to wait.

      By the time that ended, the season was coming to the business end and we had to focus on 4th place. Then we got that and 'oh, I have to focus on England now'.

      Then we had pre-season to focus on. Before you know it, he's months away from signing for Madrid for nothing - the very thing LFC had been scared of post McManaman.

      Then a year later, we're the European champions and he's a benchwarmer but WE are the ones who are supposed to beg him back and give Madrid a tidy £10 million profit in the process.

      Maybe not enough is made of Houllier's desperation not to sell the one bullet in his gun during 03/04, or that we were getting ready to spend £14 million on what was possibly Owen's replacement, but the cryarsing and LYING out of him lately has wrecked any glimmer of good will towards him.

      F**k him!

      Although in your case it's more like, LEAVE HIM ALONE

      There's a huge difference between being confident and arrogant, he should have learnt that by now, no-one likes an arrogant b***ard.
      Always have my camera on me (i-phone) you'll be the first to see if I did meet the little runt.

      Trying his hand is very appropriate being the w**ker he is.

      Till now, still can't believe he was willing to burn his idol status with us by joining the scums. Owen was not just any ordinary Liverpool player. Obviously, he doesn't recognise the affection we showered him was priceless for him. Watching Owen wearing the scums jersey coming on from the bench at Anfield makes me shake my head vigorously. What a clown. Football is more about money and prestige i guess for Owen and rivalries are trivial perhaps and a sense of belonging, especially those who loved you, can be morally overrule just by a shoulder shrug. The poster face for self-conceit footballers.

      It happened way before that for me.

      Playing for the mancs just sealed it.

      Still wasn't idolised in the way Kenny, Fowler, Rush or Barnsey were and the way Torres was and Suarez is!

      During his time here, he never felt fully one of us, it's like we had to share him with the neanderthal, nobhead England fans.

      The reason the nobhead England fans were consumed with Micky was exactly the reason he never felt a part of Anfield and the supporters never warmed to his ''qualities", the "national hero" bollocks means F**k all in Liverpool.

      "Firstly, in the media, I would like to do some TV work, maybe write blogs and different things media-related. The second would be to set up a management business that predominately looks after younger players, and see them throughout their career to take them from the start.

      "I have to say I was managed pretty well, and was really pleased with my agent. Agent is a scary word but they are a necessity for certain things in football and it is important you get the right one. I think there is a gap in the market for me and I think I can do well."


      Now this parasite wants to become an agent, urghh, just when you thought you couldn't hate him anymore he comes out with this.

      But i suppose he would have a lot of advice on what not to do?

      He also stated (can't find the interview now) that he wanted to finish in the top flight (warming stokes bench). So in other words, rather than take a pay cut [;aying in the lower leagues, he can fleece young up and coming players who might get starstruck.
