It was amusing at the time and only repeated on the request of a number of posters. However, it was accepted that it was childish by Sheik which was why it was originally reverted.
There's no point being hysterical Froggy, the fact is Owen is a cunt for his behaviour in respect of this transfer. He's shown no respect to Liverpool fans with any of his comments, which is unacceptable.

I was well pissed off that in the middle of a serious discussion it made it look like we were all calling Owen a cunt. I wasn't and won't - we have absolutely no idea what has gone on behind the scenes and why Owen eventually went to United. NoW are running a story that he would have taken a massive cut in wages to come here. Take that with a bucket of salt but it highlights the fact no-one knows what went on.
Pretty much anyone, if they were Owen, would have taken the United deal if we weren't in for him - be real, Hull or United ? As for his comments, well it would have been impolitic of him to mention Liverpool (and it was 6 years ago for goodness sake) and we all know how he tries to get the supporters onside so a blatant attempt to curry favour with United's. I think his United comments were classless and ill-advised but typical Owen.

You're not seriously in a rage because you typed 'Owen' and it came out 'Cunt',are you?
Lighten up,Froggy.
Enjoy the beach.
As for his 'paycut';as I stated earlier,another rumour is that we offered pay as u play,which was rejected.
It may be untrue,but the article you're referring to might be as well.
If true, Michael Owen chose United over Liverpool because they offered more money.
Not nice reading,eh
