Emo Poor Michael Owen. He never gets picked for England. He never gets picked for Manchester United either - but that doesn't seem to befuddle him quite so much. "I've given up trying to understand," said poor Owen in The Guardian. "I've not given up on England. It's come to an abrupt stop under this manager. You'd have a better idea than me [why that is]. I was disappointed for the first squad I missed, a little bit less for the next one and after about three or four times, I didn't really expect to see my name. For the first couple of squads I looked at the players [named] and looked at what I had done. For the last dozen squads, I haven't looked. I don't even think about [being picked] now. Honestly. " 'The Manchester United forward was last capped in March 2008, when he played the second half of a friendly against France in Paris,' says The Guardian, who neglect to mention what happened after that underwhelming 45-minute cameo in Paris. Owen was actually picked for the next squad for friendlies against the USA and Trinidad & Tobago but pulled out through illness. He was then unavailable - through injury - for the next squad (for a friendly v the Czech Republic in August 2008). By the time Owen was available to play, England had scored seven goals in their last three games. Oddly enough, Capello did not rush to recall a striker who had failed to score in his previous four games in an England shirt. Without Owen, England then went on a run of 16 games during which their only defeat came against Spain. During that period Owen went on a run of four months without a goal for Newcastle before joining Manchester United. In two years at Old Trafford he has started six Premier League games. Still stuggling to understand, Michael? http://www.football365.com/mediawatch/0,17033,8749_6951221,00.html
Made me laugh this piece. So true. He cant be that deluded to think he'll ever play for england again. 6 starts in 2 years is a shocking stat all the same.
poor micky owen just except it you'll never play for england again and your more than likely finished at united too.you might get a game for qpr.....might
Clearly he has been sniffing the same gas rednose does. Deluded to the nth degree. Never plays for the Mancs yet thinks his name should get him a place in the england squad. There are a dozen strikers at least ahead of him including the likes of Heskey and Carlton Cole which shows he has no chance of playing again. Look at Crouch, scores for fun almost when he plays for england yet cant get off the bench unless 4 or 5 other strikers are injuried.
Love the picture hope the little cnut has nightmares about it even though he didn't play. Bet he thought he'd make an appearance with no Berbatov on the bench and with United chasing the game(or barca which ever you prefer).
Hahah i was wondering, why the Hell did you just Post a Picture of Micheal Owen with the League until i copped on to look at the ribbons.Took me a few minutes to figure it out ill admit.
