I feel we are being a little harsh on Owen's comments. Surely he was admitting what we have always known - that without pace he was finished as a footballer, but he didn't want to give up on the dream. There are clearly many things he can be criticised for - but I am ok with him on this one. I never warmed to him hugely, and thought him 1 dimensional as a footballer, but am intrigued to know why he has such a bad rep? I never saw him do anything particularly dirty on the field, and just thought him a bit dull. But clearly there was more going on behind the scenes? And I really disagree with the poster who says it doesn't matter if our players are horrible people. person that I am, I want to like our players.

I'm with you.
heard the full piece and thought his comments were fair enough.

I've disliked the guy for years now. The United move aside, he's the reason Fowler was moved on.

I know people who have worked on Owen's properties, they all hate him to the bone.

I also know someone someone who did Rio Ferdinand's flooring and said he was the nicest guy you could ever meet and got a 5K bonus.

{Ed001's Note - Rio was a Liverpool fan as a kid.}

I think on this one, his comments were pretty fair and doesn't really bother me. Not a fan of his though, I remember seeing a video of him and I think it was Big Nev with a 15 year old keeper in training and Owen was acting like an absolute cretin to this poor kid. But, I've never met him personally so can't be too critical.
