Michael Owen

This video actually makes me seeth with anger. What a complete ****. Like Southhall says at the end, the kid is only 13 and looks close to tears, no need to rub it in like that.

 

The thing is with Owen, he loves to come across all down to earth, but he's had people telling him he's brilliant since he was a kid. He was rich beyond his wildest dreams before he was out of his teens. He doesn't have the first clue about living in the real world or how to deal with real people.

 

He left "owen" us such a lot - for medical bills, 2nd Div status, failed expectations. There are some positives, - he won't come back!

 

Look at me, aren't I great!

 

Never seen that before, what a dick...

 

Even Shearer was fed up of him by the end.

 

50,001 then.

 

and the rest .

 

That was just at the game on Saturday though.

 

.

 

That Video of him laughing at the kid is ****ing awful, what a prick!

 

Fits in well at Man Utd then.

 

You'd expect a professional to encourage an aspiring footballer, but not Michael Owen, what a dick.

 

To be fair, he was only 18 or so in that video. He was a teenager who had been told by everyone after scoring THAT goal against Argentina that he was virtually unplayable and was going to go on to surpass Bobby Charlton and be England's greatest ever player and lead England to a world cup while winning all sorts of personal accolades. Its easy enough for us to sit here and say we wouldn't have done stuff like that, but if everyone is constantly telling you how great you are then its quite hard not to become a bit arrogant and cocky, especially when you're still a teenager, its why loads of talented youngsters never go from potential to greatness because its hard not to get caught up in your own hype and take your eye off the ball.

He's still a thunderous **** though.

 

I would still expect a level of professionalism and for him not to take the piss out of a young kid trying to play football up against a first team Premier League striker...

You can just tell he was the kid at school that wouldn't pass the ball.

 

Looks close to tears? It's just banter and the kid knows that. The fact that he saved two 1 on 1's from one of the worlds best strikers at the time may just be consolation.

 

But despite that, do you disagree with those who think that he comes across as an awful little prick in that video?

 

Or share his fruit gums.

 

I hate those kids.
