Owen on MOTD2

Mine does too, there's a clear gap where he has a gap either side of the mouth.

I'm pretty sure he's breaking the rules anyway, aren't you meant to just grow the moustache, not any other facial hair?

I also have a couple of fine scars on my upper lip, but that isn't gonna stop me trying to grow a stupid moustache next November.
 
I've been told that keeping a space between mustache and beard is an attempt to get around the rules.
 
I met Jason Roberts in Grenada in 2004. I was on my honeymoon at some beach resort, it was during the Euros... which was ace coz I had this massive TV room to myself for the games which were on early afternoon... some waitress would keep walking in with cocktails and when I got smashed and the games had finished I could find the wife back out on the beach and score some crack off the local arts and crafts salesman, which you could bash up from it's rock form into something you can just about snort - which is why it always looks like I've got a black eye these days. Anyways, in the second week of the break the whole US team moved in and I spent the rest of the holiday watching the Euros with Bruce Arena and this old Yugoslav goalkeeping coach, and in the evening played cards with the team. It was very romantic. I think Claudio Reina was the most famous at the time but Kasey Keller was there and a few others... IN fact there was a funny story about that nobhead. Anyways, Bruce Arena asked if we would like to go the match with them, they were playing in the Concacaf qualifier against Grenada... they won 3-2 and Roberts scored both of Grenada's goals.

When we got back to the hotel a load of the Grenada players turned up too, and I ended up getting lashed with Roberts. He said that he'd hated being at West Brom and that Gary Megson was an utter cunt who'd made his life hell... He said he'd become depressed, such was Megson's bullying, Megson had told him to work the lone striker role with no service and that it was his fault that the team was crap and that if he didn't get it together he'd sack him and as he was that well connected he could spread rumours about him and he's never play again. He said Megson was like that with a load of players. Whatevers, Paul Jewell took him to Wigan - and Roberts said that Jewelll changed his game and changed his life, he said he was the nicest person he'd ever met and was forever in his debt and he wanted to follow him to whichever club he went to and he would be loyal to him always. I remember reading about six months later than Roberts had demanded a transfer saying that Wigan didn't meet his ambitions.

So yeah, confirmed shithead.
 
Lol !!! - In Islamic history there is an incident that took place when Muhammad was visited by a group of envoys from the Persian empire. They presented themselves before him and they had very long Moustaches - as was the custom of the Persians at the time. My understanding of the story was that Muhammad was so disgusted by their facial hair - he decided to excuse himself for that day, and then decided to sit with them the following day to discuss matters. In those discussions he went onto ask them 'Why ?'
Oh how we laughed....

Similarly I want the camera to just point somewhere else on MOTD2 rather than Owen, someone should tell him - I mean how was he even allowed to appear on TV like that ? - like you say GK - it stops and starts again. I actually don't think its funny - imagine any kids watching that - what the fuck !!!!

You do realise he's growing it for charity don't you? I'm not saying you shouldn't laugh at the state of it, but frankly mocking him because he's doing a charitable thing is like a bit shit.

Laugh all you like at what he looks like though. Plenty of people have laughed at me. Its par for the course during Movember.
 
Surely he can do something else for charity that's a bit less, well, stupid? Like sell a horse, or a League medal, or an excusive DVD box set of his old washing powder adverts? Or just donate a week's wages.
 
While on the topic of fashion faux pas, here's Cisse at the MTV awards in his self-designed leather skirt!

Players are just mad.
 
Lord Frodsham always was a bit radio rental, Owen is growing his to try and add to his severe lack of personality.
 
He must delight the wheezing misanthrope Mark Hughes:

HUGHES: Where are you off to, then, Djibs?
CISSE: Home, boss. I have a skirt to design.
HUGHES: A skirt??
CISSE: A leather skirt, boss.
HUGHES: *gasps and then collapses with an asthma attack*

Cisse shrugs & goes home to beat his wife before designing a skirt.
 
Alan Hansen is my fave defender of all time. People forget that from very early on his knees went and he couldn't make the marauding runs forward like he did against Everton in 1982.

Rarely looked flustered and always looked in control. Loved him.
 
He returned to the subject twice later on, really relishing winding both of them up, it was delightful!
 
Ha! That's excellent. When you guys described it before I didn't think Hansen would've delivered it in such a deadpan manner. They were properly like little schoolboys - "No, Mr. Hansen".
 
Owen's on Twitter saying that it was scripted and that he and Jason agreed to it beforehand. Hmmm....
 
Owen's a lying toerag - either that or Roberts is the best actor I've seen in a while.

It may or may not be coincidence that both of them have been less than respectful about LFC recently, Owen when he joined the Scum and Roberts at various times over the Suarez stitch-up. It may or may not also be a coincidence that Colin Murray is a Red.
 
They don't 'script' anything. They always plan what topics they'll cover, work out the cues for each clip and how much time is available, that's it. And they certainly didn't expect Hansen to mention it again a bit later, and then again after that. I can't find clips for the other incidents but by that stage Roberts looked as though he was going to be sick!
