One pile of sentimental sh*te.
Where was those f**king tears when he left us high and f**king dry in 2004.
He's gone lad, get over it!
And the little rat is not fit to lace Fowler's boots.
I recall thanking "Fowler is God" for educating me re the venom folks on this board have for Michael Owen.
I found interesting that a very tiny minority had even a modicum of respect for Owen's achievements at / for Liverpool. Huyton Red , winner that he is , suggests that Owen isn'tis not fit to lace Fowler's boots.
Last I heard Fowler was playing in Australia or New Zealand? Owen will be on subs bench this week in quarter final of Champions League. What a loser/tosser Owen is.
Overwhelming majority of posters felt ( very strongly) that his Manure stint makes it IMPOSSIBLE to play for "Pool. I recall a few seasons ago Rafa made a succesful deal to get Heinze ( at that time one of the three best left backs in the world) only for Fergie to block the move? Don't recall much furore over Manure player Heinze joing "Pool?
Most/many of you thought Owen was over the hill, injury prone etc. Do you for a moment think Manure/ Fergie didn't know his strengths and weaknesses? While no "Pool supporter likes Manure/Fergie ( infact hate is a more appropriate word),there is absolutely zero doubt that Fergie is one of the very best Managers in World Football. ( Up there with Sir Shankly/Matt Busby/Don Revie/ Bob Paisley and a host of Foreign managers). Those of you who disagree, THINK, ( albeit difficult for some of you to do ) before you post a rebuttal/insult me.
Owen,in a sub role still has a season or 2 in him. Yes he'll get injured, frequently. The games he does come on as sub, he might well nick a goal ( remember 5th minute of extra time goal he scored for Manure against City?)
Redknapp is in todays press talking about value of big name players versus the actual talent/perhaps lack off even bring to teams. Thrilled with Becks. Fergie was thrilled with Owen. Not for the games he played or goals he scored, just his "presence" with younger and especially the foreign players regarding EPL physce. Mourinho bought an aging Carvalho to Madrid for that very reason. Barca wouldn't sell Puyol for all the beer on Mersyside ( re his "presence", not skill nescessarily as Centre Half)
I keep reading about Liverpool Standards vis a vis quality of players. You must have been watching a different team than what they show us in North America. Diouf comes to mind. So does the former # 2 goalkeeper ( black guy). So do half a dozen( MINIMUM) of THE CURRENT PLAYERS IN OUR SQUAD. ( I'm thinking of Ngog and the other tossers in our squad)
Lastly, let's say King Kenny could add equivilant to Suarez quality next season. Infact brings in a number of "prospective gems" Let's say Giggs or Scholes has a pissing contest with Fergie and decide to join "Pool because King Kenny knows their value to younger players as opposed to waning values on the pitch. Big No would be your answer? ( Oh and as a result, Liverpool wins the Prem next season, and Everton get relegated, oh I digress)
Happy sunday and hope we shove it up Mancini's ass big time tomorrow ( Also Carra accidentally really hurts, I mean really,really hurts Bolloteli .....)
