Well we weren't thinking that when Owen single-handedly won the FA Cup Final against Arsenal!

Keep things in proportion chaps. 🙂

Gary Glitter fans are this very moment retrieving their old copies of 'I'm the leader of the Gang' from the skips. Well done, Ports!

LOL! I'm sure Gary Glitter has his good side and was kind to his mother. Same as Jonathan King.

Pete Townshend was on BBC Radio 4 today, talking about the influence of the music of baroque composer Henry Purcell on his own output. :🙂

Good grief. Wish I'd heard that. Did he sound toked up or something?

Townshend got a whole half-hour to himself in the 1.30-2.00 slot. He sounded very authoritative and in control. Apparently he has been devoted to the music of Purcell since his schooldays, and based much of The Who's music on chords he heard in Purcell's works. I listened carefully but failed to make the connection! :🙂

I wonder if Pete had Purcell on his radiogram when he was downloading dodgy material? ;D

If you really want to listen it is on BBC iPlayer:

Little Michael is actually were he belongs. A soulless fuck in a soulless club. He went to the club who would benefit him most in his struggle for comeback at International level. In the same way Berbatov went to United to win something. as others.

Not like the players that went to Liverpool to win something with Liverpool. It means something to be here. Look at Reina, Torres and Kuyt for starters. They didnt come to win something. They came to win with Liverpool.

Strangely enough the only player showing some soul at the wancs is actually a Scouser... A blue one, but still...

I'd imagine so, specifically "The Faerie Queene".

The crowd never did take Owen to their hearts in the way they did with Fowler.
[/quote]

They probably sensed the evil within him

He was consumed by the dark side. He is the Darth Vader of modern football.

A little short for a stormtrooper Darth Vader
 
Owen really does seem unhinged these days. He was on TV last night complaining he'd been given 3s and 4s by some newspapers for his performance against Bolton, when he felt he'd been worth a 7 or 8. It doesn't exactly fit with his other claims he's impervious to criticism and never bothers to note what's said about him. Bitter little twit.
 
He's aways moaned about people writing him off, for someone who talks themselves up so much he does seem to be effected by criticism more than you'd expect.

I can't stand him. I don't think I hate anyone in football more than I hate Owen, I hated him before he went to Utd, now he makes we want to be physically sick everytime I see his pathetic little 'good looking and marketable' face. Moron.
 
He's become the Cliff Richard of football. Like Cliff, who tries to seem easygoing but actually rages non-stop about who doesn't play his records, how many sales he's made and where he should be in 'rock' history, Owen affects a wholesome image but he's actually a horrible coiled ball of self-love and seething resentment.

I hate United, but they're anything but soulless.

Chelsea on the other hand, is the perfect club for M. Owen.
 
Despite everything I can't bring myself to hate Owen.

He was my idol growing up, living every eleven year old boys dream.

He won't be remembered fondly, that's for sure. But he's still a 'Liverpool great', IMO. His goal return deserves that.
 
At least some things never change. Here's Owen accepting the love of his new teammates...and then Neville shows up:
