“I’m human,” said Owen. “I’d prefer people to sit down and recognise what you did for them and for the team in years gone past but I’m pretty realistic as well. Now that I’m playing for their local rivals – I’m not holding my breath, put it that way. People talk about loyalty in football, and for a football supporter it’s easy to preach about that. As a father and a brother and a son there’s no-one more loyal than me. But when you’re a player, you’re not a fan. I’ve got to earn a living, provide for my family. I supported Everton as a kid. I never supported Real Madrid, but I played for them. It’s a job opportunity, just like anyone else’s work. The longer you’re at a team, if the fans make you feel welcome and the players take to you, then you build an affinity. So now obviously I look for Real Madrid results and Newcastle results, but it doesn’t make me any less loyal to Manchester United.”

well, Micheal owen is little but we know he can score he came on against city and banged in number 4 he used to be a scouser but we know they are gank///wank and when they win the league he’ll say i am a manc
He’s saying the right things for me to like him, if he can do to Liverpool what that beach ball did, i’ll be happy!!
Great chant! MO7 for MotM next wknd!
i get most of his points about loyalty etc.
but ‘earn a living, provide for my family’ i’m sure i’m right in saying most people can provide comfortably for their families with about 10% of what he was earning at liverpool before he left to madrid… but i’m sure he went for a decent chance of winning some trophy’s which is understandable..(mind you he went to a madrid side who were aging stars with no defence lol)
anyway he’s one person i respect who played for the scum in the past.
If only footballers like Adebayour, Tevez and Maradona can coduct themselves and make sensible comments like Michael Own.
Honest lad, he has been very unlucky in his career. Real wouldnt give him time or chance to rebound from injuries. New Castle was just unfortunate for him. but the al mighty SAF makes the smartest move….. a rival’s legend playing for us on a free…… imagine the tears running down the dipper’s faces……
Laos Red
he was at real for 1 season and had 3 managers
how can a newbe can get a break into an established team i dunno
and thats why the guy flopped
but when he got a chance
he was banging in goals

Owens still saying all the right things and working hard. Id love to see him get a chance this week against liverpool but i have a feeling hes going to be on the bench again.
I didnt get to see the Bolton game anyone care to fill me in on how Owen played?
Owen was OK. Great awareness of space, running onto Berba’s through balls and flick-ons. Surprisingly great first touch out the air. 2 great chances shouldve scored 1 of them. Gets into great positions, with so many chances created but only 2 falling to Michael. On another day he wouldve had about 8 chances and took them.
He did something good against City too….
I smell victory. Can’t wait to see LooserFools clash next week!
“I still know what you did last season”
Be prepared for the return of Michael Owen, the Red Devil.
the minute owen was signed by sir alex helped wash away most of the stench of his previously regrettable history for me. but owen’s heroic and “classically united” late winner against mercenary city, easily erased any lingering doubts about him in my book. if he goes on and scores the winner against the red balloons i think my head might explode! honestly however, it is way more important to me that rooney plays his part against the scum. anyone have any injury updates? is he making the trip to moscow? i imagine that inspite of the humiliation of owen playing and possibly scoring against the club which spawned and once sainted him, the scum would much rather face 11 michael owens instead of one fit and hungry wayne rooney.
off topic- anyone else excited for obertan to make his debut? not quite sure if he can be a great goal scorer, but he sure has loads of skill and pace. inexperience aside, throw him in there with a bunch of the cagey old vets and let’s see what the boy can do.
CURTIS-What about Sir Matt Busby?Don’t you respect him?
Owen’s a class finisher,he’s won a Ballon D’Or,so we know he’s good,and he’s a nice backup to have over N’Gog and I don’t even know Arsenal or Chelsea’s backup striker.Plus he came for NOTHING,so we can’t make a loss on him.
Another good striker for as cheap is the balloon for 10 pounds.
Owen will come on against Liverpool, I’m sure of it…Berba and Rooney are likely to start.
I want Owen to score an injury time winner for us next week.
Would love to see Mickey score. Is anyone buying Loserpool beach balls for next week?
GHTT : love that song m8..love the way emily sing it
I love tha lack of comments on this from Scott. It’s a philosophical question but people just talk about the upcoming game with arch rivals.
I like what Owen said but this doesn’t explain the fact that some people like Scholesy ask for a salary decrease. There are ordinary normal people and there are legends and people who follow something that normal people find unnecessary.
I think the fairy tail will be Owen to score a last minute winner
but the reality is I Owen comes on and scores I want it to be uniteds 4th or 5th on the day and eddie to fallasleep against the post from an hour and a half of standing arond doing nothing cause rio and evans/vidic will have the cb sorted
theboogeyman
of course i do lol how can one not.
but i was referring to modern day players…(stevie me, fowler etc.)
oh another i’m starting to respect is jamie carrahger for his public love affair with united haha
“But when you’re a player” you could also be a fan… Ehm just ask a certain Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville!!! They also have “families to provide for” I’ll stick my head up and say Owen is talking out of his arse here.
Gotta applaud his honesty.
Do the job Micky O ! Beat the dippers.
Sully that might be true for some players, but doesn’t have to be for all. Rooney was an Everton fan, O’Shea was a bindipper fan for crying out loud!
Nice one Sully.
For a guy who never really was one for saying things he seems to have more to say than ever. Maybe its the confidence? He’s got a bit of legendary Manc swagger about im now?
Anyway, you can be a fan and a player….easy peasy.
Yip.
Well, you don’t have long at being a player. I can see where Owen is coming at.
I hope Owen can score a brace or even better, a hat trick against Liverpool. They need a lesson on quality and being a champion. But I did wish the guys that brought the beach balls didn’t buy them, they do add to the revenue of those dippers.
L’pool 0 – 1 ManU (Owen, 93′) ….what a headline it will be!
On Saturday Own had a few chances, Maybe he should have taken at least one. But for me it is really pleasing that he is getting into these positions!
he is differnt mold from what we have at the moment and no better player for the younger players to learn from. The runs he makes are very very clever and i do and have always thought he will get goals for us this year!
If we can beat liverpool this Sunday it would certainly end their Permiership Campaign! How good would that be!

Liverpool 0 – Manchester United 5 (Berbatov 2′, Rooney 25′, Giggs 44′, Berbatov 80′, Owen 90′).
Maybe a Carragher own goal too.. please. (:
Anyone knows the travelling squad.??
Notice his refusal to mention Liverpool when he listed the former clubs whose results he follows. What price an Owen winning goal at Anfield next week?
No Owen winning goal. A Owen goalfest will suffice. Who needs Torres when you have Owen?
Just imagine it. First a balloon goal then a Owen winner. OMG
