- Michael Owen joined us in studio to talk about his career at Newcastle United, his relationship with Alan Shearer and Freddy Shepherd and why it all went so wrong.
- กีฬา
Michael Owen is one of the best young players I've ever seen. He was a fully formed footballer at 18
We finally have a numerical value for the phrase "scored loads'a goals". It's 7. Thank you Michael for clearing that up for everyone.
Nice
😂🤣😁
He scored over 20 goals for Newcastle I'm sure
@@raye1216 perhaps, but that's not the faze he is referring to.
@@itsallgood8347 oh ok
I’m surprised he made it through the entire interview without picking up an injury
Lol, harsh.
@@evanswoodcentral315 wow Haha chillout
he did damage a finger nail right at the start, so to be fair he clearly a lot tougher than he gets credit for
Evanswood Central how so? Are you saying he wasn’t injury prone?
Truth be told, he was not aware of his body's limitations. He had tremendous skill but would get injured. Compare him to Wayne Rooney or greater still C.Ronaldo or Messi, they will never put themselves in a position to be injured.
Tells you all you need to know about Michael Owen when he says "I went from being the hero to just another player ".
Spot on, my friend.
ego simple as
Check the "Neville Southall has a pop at Michael Owen"-video - just lost a lot of points in my book, did Michael Owen!
@@freethis222 yep over the top against 13 Yr old keeper . Hated that
All strikers have huge ego’s . Shearer is no different.
Owen is worried about Shearer turning up.. Hence the finger biting
a 19-year-old Michael Owen would be worth £150 million in today's transfer market
Probably. But then actual 'character' no longer seems to matter, so being a whinging 19 year old is easier to get away with!! Hardly a good way for things to have gone, though, is it, and certainly doesn't win me over to ANY boring, spineless, egotistical types like this!!!
He was more or less Mbappé at the time. I (a Dutch fan) was mesmerized by how quick and lethal he was. What a threat. When he got injured it was just over. Such a waste and I still think he showed incredible resillience, trying to fulfill a career while at 50%.
@@AnnieB8844 Yep and he was playing too many games
@@leebee5361 you are a clown! He was a great player and done great things in his career.
Was the greatest player in the world for a few years. Was till about 26/7
The knee ligament injury v Sweden finished him as he lost a yard of his pace which was his major asset.
Injury away at Leeds playing for Liverpool killed his career . One less hamstring caused every other injury he picked up
He won Ballon D’Or two years AFTER that after an amazing season for club and country.
Loved the fact that he left us (L.F.C) thinking that he was going to a bigger club and we then did the whole Istanbul thing!! Only one God and he named....FOWLER!!!!! 😊
I always thought that was funny 😅😂 Newcastle fan👌
...Real Madrid are a bigger club mate , got a lot of love for Liverpool but behave yerself lol
In his prime and injury free, one of the best finishers the game has ever seen.
Most players are at their peak at around 28-32 years old but he was his best at a much younger age when he was almost always playing so injuries were bound to catch up with him later in his career.
Haha …. best finishers the game has ever seen ?? 😂😂😂
@@user-vm9hh2se7s he was unreal when fit . If u know the game u would understand pick
@@user-vm9hh2se7s Last English player to win the Ballon D’or. The lad was a bit cracked.
Hahaha stop it. Never had a single season where he had 20 goals in the league. British overhype like many others
The only reason he came to Newcastle is to have a chance of playing for England because being on the bench at Real Madrid wouldn't of got him in the squad, it's a shame Newcastle didn't sign him on a pay per play basis like man utd did , I think he would of played more games than he did
Had the highest goals per minute ratio in Spain though that season
@@ScottyDog345 spot on. In the 2004/05 season he was a super sub that Real would bring on and inevitably he would score
Both were great players and team mates, and it's sad to see how they have fallen out.
Shearer was a great player. Sicknote owen had maybe 3 good seasons in his whole career. Biggest waste of money ever. And weve had a few clowns playing for us.
Both a pair of bankers with a capital W!
What a great interview,, respect to both of them....
I rated Michael very highly as a youngster, quite simply because his pace was absolutely electric and felt that if he could have stayed proper fit without injury he could have won a world cup for England, but to be honest after the first injury at Liverpool he was never that player again , sadly losing his pace showed that really he wasnt a very good footballer, fantastic finisher but never a great player, could have been, but like a lot of players, we never saw the best of him due to injury.
Just like del piero and Brazilian ronaldo what they could ve done is scary if their knees didn't give way van Basten the same he was only 27 when he had to retire not saying ronaldo went South but he could ve been the very very best without serious knee injury
Yeah, I think you are right on a few here and wrong in a few. His pace was phenomenal, his speed on the turn, his pace on the wing. He was always gonna get injured though he didn’t have the physicality to be able to bounce back from knocks. Once injured it was always going to be down hill. Now had he never been injured he would have been one of England’s greatest players probably played until his late 30s, would he have won England a World Cup? Never, England have an inability to win a World Cup any time, 66 excepted when it was west ham who won. Englands style of play isn’t World Cup winning. I’d have to say at this point South Korea or the USA will win won before England. As a Brit I hate it, but it’s true.
@@alkatrask2704 USA South Korea before England ok mate good joke lol
Ferguson said that Liverpool played him in too many games at a tender age which is probably true but players with electric pace invariable become prey to injuries given the demands of the modern game. Like Rooney, Owen was a
precocious talent that just fizzled out before his time.
Really? His first big injury was in ‘99 and he won Ballon D’Or in ‘01!!
People in today’s generation will never know how big Michael Owen was as a footballer. You shook the world In your day Michael ❣️💫❣️
@@LeMerch What?, scoring one of the WORLD cups best goals, being one of Liverpools greatest ever striker's, playing for Real Madrid and Manchester United make him a World star pal
@@LeMerch I understand what you're saying mate. I just think that if people outside the UK don't understand Owen then i think that is a good standard bearer for their actual knowledge of football. I'm not saying that because i'm biased because i'm an Arsenal fan. Football is about opinions though and opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one lol
@@LeMerch the world doesn't care ? Then why did Sergio aguero say owen was his idol growing up ? Pretty sure aguero is from Argentina not England...
@@LeMerch Don't think he would end up at Real Madrid if he wasn't well known
@@wrighj shearer was always better than owen
Legend has it, Owen was playing a game of Snakes and Ladders with his kid, and just needed to roll a 5 to win... But then, he pulled his hamstring and was out for 2 months. His kid won that game, and didn't storm of to their bedroom.
Stupid comments out of you, obviously never played at any level, just sat watching tv and making silly comments.
😂
Michael Owen: "If he hadn't said what he said then I wouldn't have heard it"
I think he comes across well in this. Its easy to take the mick out of him but he was an amazing player. Without those muscle injuries he would have been unbelievable
Michael he's only a helicopter flight away, go to him.
Alex Chisholm watched too much Magnum p.i, had TJ Hokker on call
@@user-do1wv3ve1n 😂👏🏽
We need more of this… real insight. Respect to a top player 👏
Fact: NUFC fans didn't sing "What a waste of money" as Owen was carried off at Watford.
When was it they sang it then?
It's not possible for us normal people to understand how personality and motivation is formed by having the salary and adulation he did from a young age. It's obvious he was carrying injuries, he says he'd lost his pace, and it would have been difficult to motivate himself if he felt he was a shadow of his younger self at Liverpool. Can't just call him a sicknote, if you've got injuries, you can't play as well or at all. I'm sure he yearned to have same fan adulation at Newcastle as he had at Liverpool, he didn't go there to underperform, all these lads want to play football. I'm no massive MO fan but I quite like the candid way he's speaking about his career.
Look at Beckham and Rooney, same thing. English teams burn out their talented kids at a young age. The only one I've seen not do that properly recently is Guardiola with Foden.
Ten years ago he'd have three full seasons under his belt already
But he did go there to underperform.
Hell of a player in his prime
His prime was however many seconds it took him to score that goal against Argentina. Without that he wouldnt have been held in anywhere near such high esteem.
Jamie Vardy when thanked for scoring so many goals and winning Leicester the title “it’s not me, it’s the team. I couldn’t do it without them behind me”
Vardy couldnt lace prime Owen's boots
@Ken Ver what's a belkend?
@@bobleeswagger5976 vardy has more goals
I'm not gonna stoop to that. Instantly stoops to that

Picking dead hand skin and wiping it off the table- lovely.
Owen was a world class player. Anytime he was fit, he scored goals. Even at United, he got important goals.
If that winner in the Manchester Derby was all he did at United it would have been enough!
NoneOfYour Beeswax Not just that, he scored in the League Cup final aswell.
I couldn’t believe he stayed at Man U another year knowing all he was going to do was mainly warm the bench.
Hat trick against VFL Wolfsburg in Champions League in 2009 too
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 He's a legend just for that goal, but he was also good overall.
Its about time Shearer & Owen met up for a straightner
Shearer would snap him in half
Be fair folks, not a bad interview.
He’s a liar
Its a shame for his injury problems; he was one hell of a player. Newcastle signed an injury prone player; that scored 26 goals in 71 games in the EPL for them; a mostly struggling side. 163 league goals in 362 games along with 40 international goals in 89 England games. It wasn't like Michael Owen was a bad professional; not getting wasted, trouble with the police, smoking or falling out of nightclubs. Injury and in particular muscle problems run in his family; its unfortunate.
It would be cool if they could get a few of the ex pros around Owen and Shearers era at the time around a table; a bit like with boxing 'The Gloves are Off' but 'The Boots are Off' and talk it out.
Michael Owen still had one hell of a career.
just watched the roy keane off the ball...I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is not going to be as interesting..
bingo!
Isnt bad, bit juicy
Haha yeah spot on dude extremely dull
There's a reason they did the Roy Keane one infront of 2000 people, and this is behind a desk :)
@@macker33 Owen can make the most interesting topics mundane. It's a special talent
Come on! get Owen & Shearer together to have it out, that would be interesting to watch, won't be the same as the Brian Clough/Don Revie interview, but would be good to see
He commented that shearer was on good money?? The difference between shearer and the greedy dwarf is that shearer earned his money by scoring goals and grafting
He said he went to a big club next Manchester United..big club ..little player. He warmed the subs bench up
Aye, while we paid the b45t4rds wages. We should have given United the wage bill that season he was on a loan.
When has a player with any sort of desire or pride sat back and waited for someone to ask him if he wants to start, chomping at the bit Micheal, that’s what managers are looking for in their players
Shearer was bitter because his managerial career at Newcastle was awful so blame Owen. Newcastle went down because they was crap
As a Liverpool fan I enjoyed Owens emergence and rise in the football world but he was given too much too soon and it was his emergence that seen robbie fowler get pushed out of the club which was a travesty, Owen often talked about moving on to play on the continent some day and it made me so happy that we won the champions league that same year he left on his quest to win it with Madrid, I thank Michael for the goals and his efforts but robbie earned that number 9 more# YNWA
I think Fowler falling out with Houllier/Thompson was more the reason he left
Totally agree, perfect analysis. May I add when he joined man utd it still hurt even tough I did not want him back at Liverpool.
he won the league with united lol
Robbie put on a bit of weight too and was so slow compared to Owen. Robbie 94-96 was ace
Owen was no 10 you whopper
He’s like the character of the golden generation who should’ve been the main character. He had the most potential of any of his counterparts. We’re talking Beckham Gerrard lampard scholes. At one point he was the best striker, winning a ball on dor. So weird that injuries and his personality/choices have turned that narrative around.
Absolutely class when he was younger
If I see one more free*cking WIX advert I swear I'm going to gauge my own eyes out. Hey, why not make me watch 2 in a row? I love that!
A mercenary who was happy to take the money. But jumped ship when we needed him the most.
Talk me though that goal against Argentina he scored! That’s all I need to remember about Owen
that's the only thing that stands in my mind-when i think of Michael Owen
A man who can sniff out a pound coin through a six-foot concrete wall and put it into his pocket with his toes.
Or his cheat hairs
*chest
"he's good at making money" yep good for him.
@Slim Mathers you must have a "great" sense of humour..
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Never heard of that saying hilarious, is that a Yorkshire saying?
Never seen Owen look so nervous
If there were so many clubs desperately wanting him why didn’t they buy him 🙄
He was great as a youngster for Liverpool. But his decision to join Man United completely ruined his name and legacy as far as hardcore Liverpool fans are concerned. I’m sure other Liverpool supporters would agree with me.
The added insult was he hardly played for NUFC, but was scoring goals for United while Newcastle were paying the grasping twunt....
Similar to Sol Campbell going to Arsenal…players should never go to a rival team, if they do, they can expect the abuse they’ll receive
@@gruphenio6787 if you're offered the option though & it's that or nothing, why turn it down?
@@ChildOfTheWilderness principles.
It’s a little like changing religion for a sum of money…
@@gruphenio6787 the most important thing as a player is being successful, so always go to the club that is likely to give you the most success.
Who is Owen more likely to win the Premier League title with, Everton or United?
Or any cup for that matter
A legend in his own head.
Injury messed up his career, he should be looking back on what he could have achieved.
The Newcastle incident - he had been paid millions by the club and hardly played a game - 1 game left, relegation decider - he should be knocking on the managers door begging to play - instead a wishy-washy comment about well stick me on the bench and I'll see if I can cope with 15 mins - no wonder Shearer thought sod ya. Owen didn't want to play and ruin his contract at United.
I mean he won a ballon'dor it's not that crazy to say he's a legend
If your injured your injured
It's a lot worse being on the pitch if you know you can't push yourself, you obviously haven't experienced injury before.
@@football_forever.1 Facts except you're* x2
They’re still mates and agreed to whip up a story for book sales. They’re having a right chuckle about it on the golf course.
wouldnt put it past them, and it was my first thought too. But not sure shearer would use the day of newcastle relegation as the wind up.
@@MrJoshua1875 I was thinking the same the 2 of them are in on it having a right chuckle at us clowns
Ur a genius
The physios said he was fit to play and Owen refused to play. He was refusing to do his job at the end of the day
One of the best things Is the copy of ‘World cup 90’ on the shelf. What a great album
Great talent just imagine having a journey like his coming from a hardworking family to achieving such success congratulations and be proud & thanks for the magic 🌍✌🏼
I seem to be the only one, but I enjoyed the interview. Owen has the reputation of being dull, but I like the honesty approach he's taken here.
That's just his version of "honesty"
"Why would you risk for one game when you could be out for 6 weeks?"
It was the last game of the season anyway so it wouldn't have made much difference if he picked up an injury in that game as he would've had all summer to recover for next season.
So, yes, I agree with Shearer that it was about Owen worrying about an injury for his next club rather than helping Newcastle avoid relegation.
Owen rewriting history again..he loved that treatment table..its my understanding he asked for it when he moved on
Hindsight is a wonderful thing for Owen to reflect back on mistakes made during his career and at Newcastle & im sure both would do it alot differently if they could.
A great goalscorer. Why did he get that cruciate injury? Because he was playing his heart out for England. Fashionable to not give him, or Beckham - the credit they deserve. Both exciting players for England, despite a press that undermined everything we did. I like Shearer but there is nothing to indicate he would have become a decent manager. Hardly Owen’s fault that Newcastle went down
Yes it was. Managed to miss the goal from three yards out in a game near the end of the season. A win instead of the draw we got would have kept us up. One of the worst misses I've ever seen. Especially so from a supposed world class striker. User.
@@howardbooker9969 fair point. You’re doing alright now though and good luck to yez.
Lucky for us that Nuñez got sent off so early in his Premiership career, so he can learn the lesson. No harm done. Just two points dropped against Palace; three against united; the ignominy of being the only club that United have managed to beat so far; title hopes over before we’ve begun; be lucky to scrape top four. On the positive side, Nuñez receiving intensive training. Hopefully learning how to get a bit of backlift into his headbutts, cos rubbing your top knot in a bloke’s face won’t cut it in town.
One miss-kick from three yards out a decade or two ago! Nuñez managed half a dozen before he walked. Stop whingeing, Geordie.
Michael Owen running upstairs fuming after losing a game of snakes and ladders to his kids
That would be a sight!
Such a under rated comment hahaha
He would pull a hamstring though
He got injured during that one aswell
He looks ‘cunning as heck’ .
Just contradicted himself, he said, fans turned, so I thought sod them.
Only was interested in being fit for England, I watched him coming out of the Newcastle training ground at Benton,
All the players came out stopping at the gate, signing autographs for the fans.
Owen, waited until the very last minute until most of the fans left,
The little kids who idolised him, waited in the rain, with there parents for ages with his photos, autograph books hoping for his signiture, or even just see him.
Owen, came out many times in his Jaguar, saw them and drove past, then put his foot down to the junction of the lane so they couldnt run after him, was never interested in Newcastle. Worst player ever for us. Leaving little geordie fans in the rain, disappointed after waiting hours.
Shearer, knows this is true. Owen, didn't want to risk his England career or his move to Man utd, Liverpools, rivals that's how loyal he was to Liverpool, spat his dummy when they didn't want him at Liverpool, the place he says, he loves, truth is the crock, injury prone, bloke wasn't worth the risk, Liverpool knew it, that's why they didn't want to match Newcastle, the first time.
The blokes, biting his nails 💅 away, because he knows its not true what he's saying.
Shearer, is right and was well let down by this money grabber,so called mate, who he took in and looked after.
Stabbed, well and truly in the back, Shearer, was devastated, had his football heart ripped out by this bloke.
Just a one-goal wonder. Even put his name to absolutely gash PlayStation games, just for the £££
I have no sympathy for someone who soon had his tongue up Ferguson's balloon knot, purely for the horse racing.
Greedy little nerk who only ever scored one decent goal.
Curse Freddie Shepherd for spunking the £11m on him.
Shearer did the same with my kid. I don’t care if they have had a rough day, they get paid millions and autographs for kids are part of the job. Just makes them look like wankers when they treat kids like that.
I could be wrong but if it is true Michael Owen at Liverpool stalled on signing a new contract with the intention of seeing out his contract to leave on a free hence shafting L/pool out of getting a fee for him which would of meant massive wages at his next club nice but not much loyalty in that so think about it if Shearer is saying he refused to play due to the fact he did not want to mess up any future move it is probably not far from the truth
Sick Note. He spent more time with his Horses !! ( Manor House Stables Michael Owen and his wife Louise, began operating as a training establishment in March 2007 with 30 horses in training. )
Me n //owen r the same age adored him growing up he gave us Lfc fans hope through dark times, leaving for Madrid left a very bad taste one which over time could be forgiven but going to the enemy is unforgivable. JUDAS
Off the ball is the only football channel which are posting the beef lol, this feels like the dj akademics of footy lol
I don't know why I thought he played for them longer than he did
Michael comes across very honest albeit he's not perfect he think he knows himself he comes across as strange to the public because of his square persona but you cannot ever take away this mans achievements and special moments in his career, liverpool, england , real madrid, newcastle, man united, he truly was fearless back in the day and openly admits he has a big ego just as shearer obviously has.
THE BATGAMM yeah more honest than Alan shearer that’s why I like him. Agree with your comment fully.
Fearless? He said he’d look for positions on the pitch that weren’t good so people don’t pass to him, how can you say he’s fearless?
Zepher Gaming the keyword was back in the day
As a Liverpool fan, I can’t quite forgive Owen for joining Man U.
That goal against city ! What a game
Owen was a tremendous striker who burned bright early then injuries took its toll, and at this level he was scuppered.
He was a snowflake prima donna ... sat on the bench and took the P as long as he could get away with ...
Michael Owen is a goalscorer and like all goal scorers he has a massive ego, when he came back and didn’t feel loved anymore it affected him when it shouldn’t have, football fans are fickle and one good performance would have changed everything. Even if he thinks it didn’t effect him just before the last game of the season subconsciously it would have. On the other hand Shearer is obviously also effected as he was the manager when his beloved Newcastle got relegated and he’s looking for a scape-goat, the team got relegated not Michael Owen let’s not forget that. So they’re both in the wrong, Owen for being mentally weak and Shearer for finger pointing, but there’s only going to be one winner when Newcastle are concerned... This should never have been released in the first place and it’s a very cheap way for Owen to sell his book. It’s not exactly setting an example to the younger generation.
Ace Tanker affected
Owen was not mentally weak, his problem was the continual hamstring injuries which affected him. He was thinking about the next injury and not the next goal. It’s a shame but he did not become a top player in the first place because he was mentally weak.
This is the most level headed opinion I've seen on the matter. Well thought out comment.
What a lot of bollocks..
Affected
I flew him into Newcastle, nice guy.. bright intelligent and personable in every way, I sat at his kitchen table, with Shearer, reading the Sunday papers, fake news, total rubbish in the papers about them falling out, yet they were both sat in front of me, both said the papers were rubbish and I could see they were very friendly with each other. They are both nice people.
Owen could get a hamstring getting out of bed!!!!!
Del Poor grammar
Idiots -Owen was pure class never ducked out of a challenge he would have gone on to break all records
Does he not realise how childish he sounds when he says he heard a bit of stick at Watford and decided that was it at Newcastle. Pathetic really.
So he smashed his jaw away at Watford and claims while watching Match Of The Day that same night that the Newcastle fans were singing what a waste of money? I would ask how he knew from watching on the television it was actually the Newcastle fans that were singing it?
@@kincaidwolf5184 in what way does it 'sum up' Newcastle fans? I make the original point because since attending matches since 1984 in my experience it has always been the opposite fans that have sung what a waste of money if the costly/high profile player misses a chance, gets a bad injury or gets sent off among other examples, it is a jibe opposite fans use, not the fans of the club he plays for, again I would like to ask him how he can claim this just by watching the television.
@@johnclegg4993 Football supporters are always abusing their own players.

How can you compare Owen to Henry. Joke.
Owen was more like Vardy, can never be mentioned in World Class bracket, great finisher over periods, but wasn't a cereal winner, an animal on the field.
All the greatest are animals, mentality not avoidance.
Owen has a victim mentality as a 40 year old man... When do you ever see him not moaning during an interview.
Do fellow players mention him as inspiration, have never a good word about Owen, not from a single player.
Every player who played with or against Henry in contrast was in total awe of him.... Won it all with France, Barcelona and still elite into his 30s.
There are levels, Henry in the World Class bracket, Owen peaked at Elite Premier League level.
worldsforliving couldn’t agree more 👍
shearer loves our club so much
You just don't know what to believe do you? According to A.Shearer, M.Owen didn't want to play because he was eying up a move away from NUFC come end of the season and didn't want to be injured AGAIN. M.Owen tries to sell you a story whereby he knows his body better than anyone and therefore an injured player/not fully fit player doesn't help anyone considering the desperate scenario NUFC found themselves in on the final day of the season.
The only interesting thing about this saga is someone's lying while someone's else is telling the truth!!!!!
Bet he thought Roy Keane was going to surprise him.....he is so uncomfortable!
He was to told to beef up to help fight injuries, his pace was never the same since then , & that was his game.
Millennium Stadium vs Arsenal the control, pace and the finish with the weaker foot summed up his ability as an extremely potent striker for club & country 👌
Micheal pulled his thigh in this interview and was out of media interviews for 6 months!
Ask. Newcastle supporters what he did👍🙄
I’m surprised he left that studio in one peace

Owen was just unbelievable as a 17 year old when his pace was electric and defenders couldn't get near him, sadly his pace dropped off as he got older and picked up injuries on the way, I recall him being awful for England in later years.
If he hadn't behaved so terribly Newcastle fans would've supported him completely after his injuries. He barely set foot in the city and acted disdainfully during his time at the club. People were _desperate_ for him to succeed but I'm afraid he always seemed more interested in horses and money. Which he has since effectively stated as such.
Some of his behaviour such as with the youth kid and Southall make him just look like a pretty poor person.
Also, ... I quote the good Doctor Owen: "If there's no blood there's not going to be any real head injury....".
If you want to have a go at someone who loves money...Rooney
Just asking- at which point did he ever score ‘loads of goals’ for us
at the start he scored 7 goals in 8 games before injury
@@JC-ko1bp Wow, Willock did that.
@@SirMonkeySuit congrats to Willock
Its the last game of the season. You need a result to avoid the drop and your star man is asking for a sick note. I think both accounts are true. Owen did want to be a hero off the bench but he hated Newcastle and wanted another payday.
He said he would have started if he was asked to.
But he was realistic in what he was physically able to do
Hated Newcastle?? Not really..
Not that big a fan of Owen but he was the scorer of 2 of the most memorable goals I can remember. Argentina 98 and the derby in 09/10.
The 2 goal to win the FA Cup for Arsenal
Must be pretty gutting for him that after retiring he’s not particularly liked by any set of fans. When a player hangs up his boots and reflects on his career, there’ll be highs, lows and things he regrets. But there will nearly always be a club who’s supporters remember him fondly and will always have time for him. Not Owen. Disliked by fans of pretty much every club he played for.
If I was a famous ex footballer and I wanted to sell my book, I would contact my other famous mates and inform them that I was going to create some phoney controversy in order to garner publicity it would otherwise nor have received...
U look at how many games he played for real as a sub and scored. Its impressive. Newcastle should of used him as a sub
Teams rolling over helps
Owen: I've had 25 muscle pulls, I know my body
Me: thinks the lady doth protest too much
As someone who has struggled with injuries the last 4 years. It happens. Some people genetically / misfortune suffer from more injuries than others.
we have to remember football is emotional... both M.O and Shearer are passionate players and people, they want the best for themselves, their clubs and their families.
both sides of the fall out are equally valid since they come from that very place... the heart.
its sad, but we cannot fault either of them for the issues, its just one of those unfortunate things.
Michael trapped a nerve in his neck during this interview and was subsequently sidelined for 6 months
So what was your highlights of your time with Newcastle Michael? Well, signing was great...and... Yeah signing! That was great!
Cracked up 😂😂😂😂
😂👍🏼
obviously hated it
Biggest waste of money Newcastle bought
It is amazing how he manage to play at all I would think with the number of games he managed to play the cost for each game must be the highest ever

Alexis Sanchez
Imagine we let Santiago Munez go for this guy 🤦♂️🤷♂️
How can you really expected an injured man to play? Ronaldo didn't play at Inter for two years and they cop it, same as Hargreaves at United. No one wants to get injured. Owen was injury prone since prior to arriving to Newcastle. Newcastle knew the risks and gambled for it.
Owen was not given time to recover esp at Liverpool...torn hamstring..no pace..he Never recovered...he shouldve gone to USA for a 2nd opinion and for rehab..instead they patched him up and threw him back onto the pitch....
He wasn't injured he was cleared fit to play but he wanted to go to another club after so he refused to play
Half of Owens problem was in his mind. Such a great player as well.
Give this man 20 pieces of silver
