Not good form, I agree. However, he's still got some way to go before he's in the same league as the Cashleys of the world, IMO.
Considering they paid his wages when, on the few occasions he wasn't injured, he clearly couldn't be bothered to put in the effort, that makes Owen look like an utter tosser. But, then again, he's spent a couple of seasons surrounded by them...
Ashley Cole has been a pratt with his missus, but he left Arsenal after they reneged on a contract promise.
