Holden McGroin 6785 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Dont see the big fuss. I want England to do well and I wouldn't want to deny the lad a chance at world cup glory. We are not going to get relegated or make europe. Its not like we are striving for a CL spot and need him back urgently. *tin hat on* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm half English and I want England to do well in Germany, but that doesn't mean that Owen's behaviour and attitude are acceptable. He's blatantly taking the piss with his comments and I'm sick of reading about his plans for the World Cup. It's perfectly understandable for him to want to play in a World Cup, but I just wish he would stop banging on about it in a way that is disrespectful to his employers who pay him in excess of £100,000 a week. Comments like "The injury didn't come at the worst time" (yes, it did for the people who pay your wages) and "I was down until I realised that there are still 11 weeks until the World Cup starts" are disrespectful to Newcastle United. If Owen wasn't English, people would call him worse than a disinterested mercenary. 110916[/snapback] I see your point. However all of his quotes are essentially throwaway stuff that people in this country want to hear. If you had reporters constantly asking you about the world cup what would you say? And I can't be bothered to dig out the quotes but he did say that he was committed to Newcastle that he gets upset when people say he's just thinking about the world cup. (Again, though, you could say that's he just saying that because it's what we want to hear. That's the thing with little Mickey, he's so damned squeaky clean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 337 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I thought the players used the best, top, most fantasmagorical surgeons to operate on their players? His mustn't have been much cop if he put the wrong size screw in his foot to pin it! Even the ortho surgeons at my place generally get it right and they're only Gateshead's finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
