Whilst Michael Owen’s move to Manchester United will have hurt a lot of Liverpool fans, they probably weren’t expecting him to settle in to the club as quickly as he has done. To see him celebrate like a mad man, running to the Stretford End and North Stand, after scoring that winning goal against City must have been a real sickener.
Since then, Owen has claimed United are the biggest club in the world and there will certainly be no love lost when he returns to Anfield in a few weeks time. Owen was booed by the Liverpool fans when he returned with Newcastle so it is fairly obvious how they will react now he’s wearing our shirt.
Owen is well aware of the reception he will receive but is excited about playing against his former club.
“It will be different, it’ll be a bit noisier!” said Owen. “I’ve been back before with Newcastle a couple of times, so I’ve played there for an opposing team. But I’m certainly looking forward to this game. As usual between United and Liverpool, it’ll be a competitive game between two of the world’s top, top teams. The teams are more equally matched perhaps than when I went back with Newcastle, so it should be a good game and an exciting day.”

owen will score 92nd minute winner at the Kop. owen has have to prove FSW a point becasue he wasnt even intrested in bringing micky back.had he shown an intrest owen would have returned.how many goals he score he scores against the small clubs will count but it is his performance in these games that will be more important and i think he can do well after coming on as a sub because he can stretch a tired defence with his clever runs
We should not rule out that wazza may miss the clash so owen may even get a shock start.
Owen to score the winner and kiss the badge !
owen to score the winner. now that would be priceless
Personally I would like Owen to score hat-trick.
Would be more fun and enjoyable for me
MC goal was priceless.
But after pool game I would like to read Man Utd. trashed Liverpool, marvelous performance by Owen… etc.
Owen to do exactly when he did against City!
Although Rooney may be out – is that right?
Scott great article as ever! Funny how some fans who questioned SAF’s judgement on Owen now appreciate a world class finisher who loves the opportunity to play for us and doesn’t moan when sitting on the bench, compared to those idiots screaming for Tevez or Benzema(Who has just fallen out massively with R. Madrid!!) As always SAF gets it right! Keep em’ coming Scott.
@DanS
Rooney and Coleen’s baby is due on 24th which is a day before the game.if thats the case wazza has said he may miss the game .but he said this about the moscow game.think he will want to play at anfield after what happened last seasonb
Well if he scores again in the Injury time ,Sir Alex would buy him a new HORSE!!
And owen wud use that Horse to fuck Stevie ME ..
There is not a chance that Rooney will miss playing the dippers. Never.
Off topic – Anyone see Big Norman on Red Cafe last night? Excellent stuff.
Wazza’s likely to miss the trip to Russia. But that’s mainly because of the distance involved.
There’s no way he’ll want to miss the game against the dippers.
stretford ender
any links about the Fake Madrid and Benzema?? I really need a laugh atm!
Michael Owen is a red,is a red,is a red,
Mikey Owen is a red,he was a Scouser…
Owen scores a hat-trick and Torres misses a penalty and gets injured
Owen goes 1 v1 with Reina and oversteps him, will he take a shot into the empty net or lay it for the charging Rooney to tap it in?
I don’t know if I want him to score a hat-trick as I would fear for his personal safety if that were the case!
Just to see him try his little heart out for the Red of United is enough for me – I wish the lad all the best for this game, I imagine his heart is beating a million miles an hour just thinking about it!
Michael Owen is a Red!!
If Owen were to score the winner in front of the Kop, while I don’t think it would make him an instant legend, it would without a doubt become a top United moment. Dear God, can you imagine Mickey Owen at Quietfield bagging an injury time winner, running up to the Flop, and kissing our badge? It would top the citeh game by far.
Next thing he’ll get “19″ tattooed on his back. Will reveal it after scoring an injury time winner!
Hello all, offtopic pls…I saw Sir Ryan Giggs here in Freetown the day before yesterday with some UNICEF officials!!!
The freaking guards cant let me touch the living legend…I tried, I shouted his name, I did everything I could but the bastards cant let me in…fuck I love the guy!!!! Giggsy!!!!! I can’t believe I saw him live!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes yes I saw him!!! I saw him at a Children hospital called cottage!!! My world!My world! I saw Sir Ryan Giggssssssssssssssssssssssss
Id rather wazza got the winner at poorfield.
@cherry
lucky you.the man is a living legend
ngl, I’d shed a few tears of joy if Owen scored at Anfield.
Since he was linked to united the day before it was agreeed it’s been hoped for Owen to score at anfailed
Rember when robbie any Charlie fowler scored against united and althou they had nothin to do with his tome at Liverpool or the fact that he wasn’t playin for Liverpool at the time, ran around with his 5 fingers in the air, maybe that’s what Owen should do run around with 10 fingers in the air and running besid him will be the red nev with the other 9 fingers flying high
Could someone inform me as to why we refer to Liverpool as the Dippers??
I’m lost
Dippers is short for bin dippers because even people from Liverpool deserve to eat
Owen to score and win the game for United. A split second later, RAWK and all the dippers alive to go into complete and utter meltdown.
GHTT – Imagine Owen and Gaz mixing up the number 19 with their fingers to the Kop, that’d be fucking PRICELESS. I’d sell my bollocks if that were to occur. I fucking hate dippers from every angle.
I wish the first thing Rooney Jr does is show the Fat Spanish waiter the finger.
Alright we’ve all been imagining Owen scoring the winner against the scouse. I’ll break it down and people will see how crazy the situation could be.
1/ Michael fucking Owen plays for UTD. Still a bit mad that.
2/ The majority of us LIKE him now. Madness.
3/ 96th minute winner against City. Beyond realization.
4/ Scoring a last minute winner against Liverpool, at scumfield. Bedlum. Tears of joy and laughter.
5/ Badge Kiss. Too good to be true.
I don’t really care if he scores, as long as he does something to wind up the Kop.
I wish the sir would start rooney,berba and owen for our home games. Will work to put fear in our opponents. Owen is amazing!
1. Start the dippers game – good stuff.
2. Score a hatrick – very good stuff
3. Score the winner and his fourth goal in injury time – brilliant ecstatic wonderful fantastic beyond belief stuff
4. Kiss the badge – michael owen becomes legendary
How does kissing the badge differentiate him from all of the wankers who’ve done it to date? If anything, it would send him down in my estimation.
@Bebeto.
Understand where you are coming from. And I have to agree to a certain degree. But you have got to admit that Owen kissing the badge will definitely piss the dippers off. And the fucking FA cannot do anything about it cos if they do, they are gonna need to fine almost every bloody player in the league.
Till this day I still cannot get over that Neville got fined for what he did in front of the dippers fans and Stevie Me got nothing for what he did. Bullshit!!!
if score the winner I would love him to run to the dugout and hug Fergie…
and he had the leg he could run all around the pitch…
if score the winner I would love him to run to the dugout and hug Fergie…
and he had the leg he could run all around the pitch…Priceless
If Owen scores at Anfield he will be come a legend, songs of his exploit will be sing for generation.
We may have seen a birth of a new 7 legend at City.
If Owen scores the winner at Anfield I will cry like a girl.
mancstan
