The Michael Owen Song

July 4, 2009 89 Comments

Probably my first of many attempts to express our feelings about signing Michael Owen through the mode of music… who became a Manchester United player after a conversation with Sir Alex Ferguson over breakfast.

hes a fantastic striker, sir alex obviously knows what he is doing. have faith in him

Hawk says:
Hilarious, well done, Scott!
It remains to be seen what the lad can do, but I’m slowly warming to the idea of him scoring a John O’Shea-like goal at Anfield come next season…

Anon says:
haha. good one!
i’m not sure how this is going to turn out though. He may injure himself and not play a single game or he may end up topping the goalscorers list in the league. Touchwood, it’s the latter!
July 4, 2009 at 10:47
Roxas says:
Lets just get behind him. We havee absolutely nothing to lose, so if it doesn’t work out, its all alright.

Plus, could you imagine the face on those bindipping twats if he scores at Anfield !

My emotions are in absolute turmoil over this one.
As Scott has said previously it’s bloody hard to forget those studs-up challenges on Ronnie Jonsen and The Great Dane all those years ago!
However, he’s here. He’s wearing our shirt. Enough said!

Whats the city colours about tho.

Scot, fantastic fell of my chair

just read we have signed Albert Massacci 16 year old Italian,. more bad press for getting young italian talent before the italians do…..lol.

Doherty – Awful shirt, whats with the BLUE? Should have been a red V.

Ummmmm, sounds to me an early mind game of Fergie toward Rafa , he used to get rid of owen in the past and now fergie trying to rejuvenate one of the best english golscoring talent , am sure he will make best partnership w rooney
July 4, 2009 at 12:02
Zana says:
He is injury prone, but hey we got him and didnt pay a penny so …. We ve nothing to lose , we can still have another striker, either Aguero, fabiano! and hopefully a combative midfielder

It appears Benzema rejected us

So I hope all those complaining about our lack of effort in signing him take it all back.

FusilliJerry says:
Now that United share our transfer targets with Hull, can we expect SAF to update his overall approach with other elements of that club’s management technique: goatee beard; year-round tanning parlour membership; half-time team talks on the pitch; end-of-season address to the fans from the pitch replaced with end-of-season karaoke performance to the fans from the pitch ?

Any chance of singing the song below round Old Trafford. It is unbelievably epic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL4n5E1VEM8

I know it is an FC United chant but I still see them as part of us, just a naughty sibling going through a period of teenage rebellion. I think Old Trafford lacks a signature song and ‘United Road’ doesn’t get the hairs on the neck stood up like, dare I say it, ‘Fields of Anfield Road’ and ‘You’ll never walk alone’ does to the scousers.
July 4, 2009 at 15:10
chep says:
I like the very end of the video the most. Let`s make it 19, Michael. considering everything what`s in the video before that statement and everything we knew about his scouse background, what really matters is the statement at the end. again, Let`s make it 19, Michael. we need to get used to it. hope, Fergie knows what he is doing. just pray for Michaels health

Hahahaha nice song Scott…
Hopefully SAF proves me wrong with Owen decision.

I realy hate “The Fields of Anfield Road”. Thieving Scouse bastards. It’s our bloody song (Ireland). Celtic can borrow it if they like, but the scousers can go screw themselves.

Hey, anyone have any idea what no. Owen will be wearing?

I don’t think he’ll be wearing the no. 7 and neither will A.Valencia.

Any ideas?

Fze123 says:
Good song, well done scott.

10 reasons why michael owen is a good singing:

1. He’s English = not a foreign real madrid lover = not argentinian

2. Played in the PL for many years = proven track record = tons of experience

3. Profilic goal scorer

4. Clinical finisher

5.He’s free = it’s a pay-by-play deal = we have millions left to spend

6. 22 goals between rooney and owen in 25 starts for england, could reform that partnership

7. Doesn’t mind playing for us. ahem ahem tevez.

8. Wants to prove he’s not past his best to get into the WC squad, we’ll get a lot out of him

9. Only 29. some of you are talking like we signed a 39 year old.

10. Will definitely score more than 5 goals next season. 10 goals in 31 starts last season for newcastle is not bad considering his niggling injuries and lack of chances from team mates.
July 4, 2009 at 18:27
Amo488 says:
I dont understand why everyones got there panties in a bunch, I could understand if this was Gerrard coming to us, but Owen isnt even a Pool supporter. He grew up supporting Everton, why arent we getting on Phil Nev for joining a scouse team?…and this talk of him being about money is pure bull, after scoring over 10 goals in Spain as just a sub primarily while Raul was doing nothing wouldnt you feel aggrieved just a bit? He didnt join Newcastle because they offered him the most money but rather if I remember correctly they were the only ones who had a bid accepted by Real, and Newcastle were nowhere near as bad as they are now when Owen joined them. Owen is actually a pretty classy guy and pretty much the only Pool player ive ever resepcted, and I dont think hes done anything to deserve this hate and blame being shown his way for Newcastles and his misfortune.

July 4, 2009 at 20:09
King Eric says:
Off topic – Looks like we are getting a 15 year old Sean McGinty “starlet” central defender from Charlton. Sir Alex really is setting up his next dynasty.

The media keep saying how we are not buying players but they are ONLY looking at the big players. Nobody mentions the fact we have now signed up the young Italian lad, Dodo, McGinty and also James, Gill and Wooton have signed professional contracts. All this in the space of a few days. Huge plans for the future, you don’t see the Rentboys and dippers doing this. They only think about the NOW. That is their downfall and what makes United such a great and successful club!

Manu says:
I am not sure about Owen’s signing. I just dont know how to react and I wont venture into how good/bad he will be. He is our player now and I will support him. All that is left now is to score against the scum and kiss the badge. That will do just fine

Fze123 says:
In the telegraph that cunt perez is saying “we gotta buy 2 more and sell 10″. Ruud, arjen robben, wesley sneijder, rafael van der vaart, royston Drenthe and huntelaar are all reportedly on the market.

i reckon we should get huntelaar and sneijder. huntelaar joining berbatov and rooney in attack would be a great partnership, lots of goals. good goal record too, 265 apps, 179 goals.

also, wesley sneijder would be a good signing. we seriously need a good midfielder, we lost games last season because of our weak midfield, especially in the CL final. snejider is great with the ball and quick, 25, i rate him highly.

i don’t think these 2 would mind leaving the facists. WC is next year, they want to play in it so they have to have 1st team football.
July 5, 2009 at 2:20
Dave Mack says:
I like Aguero but prefer Sneijder as he’s less risk, both in terms of adapting to our league and staying put!
July 5, 2009 at 4:34
Kevin says:
I agree about Sneijder. He is a great player and could be a good fit into our system. I like Aquero but don’t think we need another striker and therefore don’t think Huntelaar makes much sense. I am fine with the strikers we have and simply need another attack minded midfielder. But I would not complain if one of those players made its way to our squad.

I have been rather impressed unlike many other United fans I see make comments on blogs like this one. Owen was a good capture in my mind and can possible help pass own lessons to our young strikers and is highly motivated. Valencia was a fantastic signing and I believe he will go onto great things at United. He will provide for our strikers and defend when needed. Not to mention the youth being brought into the squad. In Fergie We Trust!
July 5, 2009 at 4:49

just a question
the new jersey is a play off the jersey we wore 100 years ago but the v shirt was fron 1922??

RJ – I wouldn’t believe it for a minute mate. Absolutely no quotes or sources for that matter. The News of the World is a shite paper, it is just someone trying to stir it up.

Who the fuck does Perez think he is? DEMANDING a Euro Super League? Just so he can put his globetrotters to the test. Cunt.
July 5, 2009 at 9:42

i was just lookin over some of the comments and it turns out i was on this last night ,i dont remember as i was in the pb
but i caame across a maths lesson last night to match essiens
a dipper said to me “united are lucky the 39th game isnt out cause no matter hat happened in your (uniteds) match all we needed to do is win ours and the league would of been ours (liverpools)
i asked him to repeat it but i walked away half true his repeat once i realised i heard it right the first time

At first I was embarrassed by the Michael Owen thing.
But it’s grown on me, and now I’m quite excited, especially if we get another big player for up front. Then the wizard will really look very smart, yet again.

I want to laugh more at the scousers MO discomfort. Does anyone know the url to another scouse site? One that’s easier to navigate than RAWK (how do they understand that thing)?
July 5, 2009 at 17:32

Don’t worry, I’ve found one.

July 5, 2009 at 18:12
King Eric says:
Godpye – ThisisAnfield.com is good for a laugh mate. It makes me laugh actually, on this site we have views of dippers, Arsenal and sometimes Citeh. On Dippers sites you NEVER see ONE post from anyone other than dippers. Even those that don’t “trust in Rafa”" never seem to get their points heard! Gerry on KopBlog is a cunt.
July 5, 2009 at 18:19
Sean says:
I am a scouser and I think its hilarious you have got Owen. Clearly 3rd choice behind Tevez and Benzema. And to the fella who doubts the News of The world story, its written by Bascombe who is the most well connected Journalist to LFC. If you want to convince yourselves its a good move then thats fine…..He has been injury prone for 4 years and as for scoring against us, well if he plays I can’t imagine us losing any sleep, whereas Tevez was always dangerous against us.

I woudl have thought Tevez, a player you actively all wanted to keep, going to City was a bigger issue than Owen going to you.
July 5, 2009 at 18:41
King Eric says:
Sean – It will be hilarious when he scores in front of the Kop End. Article today from his medical man saying he is fine and in tip top condition. With the amount of chances we create as long as he does keep fit he will bang them in. He is third in the pecking order after Berba and Wazza and possibly a fourth striker Sir Alex is looking at and his experience will be useful to Macheda and Wellbeck.

Well where are the quotes and sources then? Could not give a fuck about him, as long as he gets goals, United will be happy. The fat spanish waiter could probably have done with him seeing as soon as the ladyboy gets injured who have you got? N’gog, Babel? Owen scored more than the Argie judas last season. I notice a lot of your fans would be happy to see him at Anfield. Can’t go wrong, cost nowt , low wages what have we to lose?

Its like saying the Daily Mail is accurate when the editor is the biggest Dipper around, Tony Evans. Concern yourself with your own team pal, as who are you gonna replace Xabi and Javier with when they inevitably leave?
July 5, 2009 at 19:15
Sean says:
No need to concern myself as they will stay. Ronaldo fucked off, trevez fucked off and yeah, of course some fella that owen em[ployed to say he was in good conditions aid he was. Those 77 games for Newcastle in 4 years was just a blip.

As the story says Rafa didnt want him. Hope he is as much as success as Berbatov.

As for Torres, miles and miles ahead of anyone you have got son and cant wait for him to make Vidic and Rio look twats again.

Just the 5 times King Eric, and it will be a long time before you match that
July 5, 2009 at 19:17
Sean says:
Self proclaimed biggest team in world cant keep hold of their players and signing free transfers to replace them. 3rd choice behind Benzema and Tevez wasnt he?
July 5, 2009 at 19:19
Sean says:
Do your research on Bascombe as well….You will find that he is the most well connected reporter with Liverpool. Was even quoted by Sky as being that as well. Seems like he only went to you once Rafa didnt want him eh?
July 5, 2009 at 19:37
MUFC the Religion says:
How the fuck is Owen injury prone. If your knee pops out to the side, that is not your fault. If someone stamps on your foot and breaks the metatarsal, that is not your fault. It’s not like he’s always had a dodgy hamstring is it. One freak injury and one injury that every English players.

Also, it’s not like he played for the Dippers just 4 days ago. Try 5 years. He and we know he is going to start as substitute. Maybe he could start against the bottom half teams. He will be a great signing, for 0 pennies, when he comes off the bench and gets the winner whenever needed.

How many chances do United create and then not take advantage of ( yes you Tevez ), Michael Owen will put away these chances. That’s what he does. That’s what we need. Most “fans” aren’t convinced but they may as well start liking him now instead of waiting for a match in September when he gets a last minute winner. Everyone will grow to, not neccesarily love him, but like him and appreciate him.
July 5, 2009 at 20:45
King Eric says:
Are you sure they are gonna stay Sean? As for Bascombe show me some quotes or sources and I may believe it. As I said though fuck all to lose pal, well worth a punt. By the way I did not dispute the ladyboy was a great player. Seem to remember Rio having him in his arse pocket two seasons ago when fit so he may just do it again. Always have to fall back on the 5 times thing don’t you. Ancient fucking history Sean, 3 of them were won when it was piss easy to win. 10 teams or summat. Notice you can’t rely on the old chestnut of 18 times can you? I remember you on here giving it large last March after our “blip” but come May where were you? Always the same old shit, “this years ours”. Come back in May pal when Owen has helped us to 19 titles! Mug.
July 5, 2009 at 20:49
King Eric says:
Sean – I ask the question again. When the tranny’s hamstrings fuck up who are you gonna rely on? Please don’t believe the tabloids that all the top players snubbed us, simply not true. As for Ronnie going would you keep a player that wants to pursue his dream or accept the £80 million? Oh sorry you did, you kept Alonso when he wanted out. Looking forward to the Fat Waiter reverting to his old tactics again and drawing against the likes of Stoke and Fulham. The man is a buffoon and you know it pal.
July 5, 2009 at 22:15
MUFC the Religion says:
King Eric

Hear hear. Too true yet the Dippers deny it.

@sean. Self proclaimed, maybe that’s because eerrmmm we are the biggest team in the world. Something like 8th biggest brand in the world. By far the highest ranked football team on that list of brands. Only behind companies like Sony, Nike and Adidss. We are in top 3 best teams in the world. We are a cash cow, generate the most money by millions. Our ground is nearly twice as big as yours and will get bigger than Wembley. Most succesful team in the past 20 years. Fantastic history, present and future. Apart from that we ain’t so big.

Yep.We’re the 8th biggest sporting brand in the world,after things like NFL,MLB,NBA,Scuderia Ferrari and the whole of Formula One.

MUFC the Religion says:
WOW

I thought we were up there with companies.

So that means that United are a bigger brand than the whole of American Football, Basketball, Car manufacturers etc. Fucking hell.

I think that alone makes Manchester United the biggest football team in the world. Real who.

Comment on MO’s supposed contract at OT:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/robkelly/100000338/michael-owens-manchester-united-contract-revealed/

Like the one that gives him 20K for scoring an EPL goal, but 30k if he scores against ‘Pool.

Love it.

This deal merely emphasises how far UTD are ahead in their thinking, of the rest of the EPL. This was a deal that Benitez should have been chasing and had wrapped up before Fergie even thought of it. Does anyone really believe that such an incompetent manager is capable of winning the title?
July 6, 2009 at 5:44
BrisbaneRed says:
Off topic comment:

I’m warming to the idea of Toure at Barca coming to OT. Apparently he’s on 45k a week and Barca won’t pay him any more. Fergie would give him 60k at least as starters. He’d certainly add a lot more stability to the defence plus can play in the back 4.

afromanc says:
We all know that MO is not going to be enough, if thats all we sign up front…
I think eto will be the best piece of business if we sign him.
African strikers are strong and dont take shit+he is one of the greatest finishers in the world… The other most importnat thing is that this will most probably be Edwin’s last season.
AF needs to start considering a WORLD CLASS replacement; which im sure he is…
