It'd be good to take some time to take a look at the legend's best quotes:

'He looks like a footballer.'

'Yeah he's elbowed him in the head, but there's nothing in it for me.'

'It's hit the facial part of his head there.'

'That's a fantastic penalty, but he'll be gutted it went wide'.

'You're on your own out there, with 10 mates.'

'If there was a bit of rain about, it'd make the surface wet.' (my personal favourite)

'They need to kick it at the net more often.'

'When they don't score they hardly ever win.' Genius

Excellence.

EDIT, SOME MORE:

'Jelavic would have scored that if he wasn't offside.'

'It's a good run, but it's a poor run, if you know what I mean?'

'That’s simple as…simple.'

'Whichever teams scores more goals usually wins.'

'To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.'

'Blackburn have got two strikers on and they're both playing up front.'

'I love these players with two feet.'
'You need people who score goals. That’s how you win games.'

'Alderweireld played really well last year for Tottenham, let's hope he can transfer that form to Spurs this season.'

'That would have been a goal had it gone inside the post.'

'When the ball is that still, it's wobbling in the air.'

'That shot is impossible. I saw Yaya Toure do it once.'

'You have to believe your own eyes, don't you?' You sure do buddy.

Some more from the interwebz.

"It's a good run, but it's a poor run, if you know what I mean?"

"What a feeling it is to be a manager and bring someone on."

"That’s simple as…simple."

"To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game."

"Blackburn have got two strikers on and they're both playing up front."

"Alderweireld played really well last year for Tottenham, let's hope he can transfer that form to Spurs this season."

:lol: That's probably the one that makes the most sense as well.
 
What went on between him and Jose before the game yesterday? I just saw some hack reference him in the post-match presser, but couldn't see an obvious reason why.

Owen gave Ibra a whack in the media and Jose responsed by saying that Ibra will score more this season than what Owen scored for United
 
"Do they deserve the win? No. Liverpool do. Which is why a draw is a fair result."

"If you can't win the game then you have to make sure you win the game some other way."

"He's given the referee no choice but to consider his options."

"It's impossible to stop Wayne Rooney when he's in this kind of mood unless you tackle him like Jagielka did there"

"What a shot. That's completely unstoppable. But the keeper's got to do better for me."

"They think it's all over. That's because the ref has blown the final whistle for half time."

"They say a rolling stone gathers no moss but I think Jon Moss must have mistaken Ross Barkley for Mick Jagger there"

"Eden Hazard there showing why's he Belgian"

"If there's one thing helicopters have taught me it's that footballers don't understand how to hover"

"You can't really grumble at the red card but it's very harsh."

:lol: What??
 
They all sound like something out of Leslie Nielsen's movie scripts, complete with the deadpan delivery.
 
No one seems to have noticed that he's been demoted to just a pundit, haven't heard him commentate all season.

I don't even know what this means but I feel like it's brilliant and my mind just can't comprehend it.

Jose's probably right on that one as well. Thanks for the info :)

Anybody see this pricks comments about Ronaldo on the weekend? Some Madrid do with the former Galacticos and this prick made comment about Ronaldo's weight and how he (Owen) thought he had put on weight before he saw Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has since come out and asked why it is such a big deal, and Roberto Carlos isn't too chuffed at the comments either.

I didn't mind him at United but it seems Michael Owen is a seriously unlikable person. You add this shit to some of his pasts demonstrations (that video where he celebrates how good he is against a 14 year old keeper) and he's a bit of a cnut.

My rule of thumb for any professional is don't comment or make a personal remark about somebody unless you were better than them. Owen wishes he had Ronaldos CV.

Yeh I thought it may have been banter between mates. Clearly not. What a pleb.
 
Here is a video of Darren Farley impersonating him and his tendencies to state the obvious in 2015.

 
These are all over the internet.

'Crouch is a very underrated player, or at least he will be when he's retired.'

'There are worse things to do on a Saturday than get beaten in Yorkshire.'

'Definite hand ball, and the referee agreed. He just didn't give it.'

'Sometimes it hurts as a striker to have a goalkeeper as a personal friend.'

'You win some you take the rest with a pinch of salt, that was always a credo.'

'Football is unlike horse racing in that respect, you can't ride anything.'

'I'm amazed he hasn't got more credit, just the Ballon d'Or.'

'Sometimes fans can be merciless, but mostly its just abuse.'
 
Are these really legit? Anyone actually heard him say this nonsense?
 
I used to think he was plain boring, now I realise the problem is that he's just dense as feck.
 
Regarding the stuff he said about Ronaldo, he's an absolute moron. No two ways about it.
 
If he wasn't so dislikable, he'd probably be quite likeable. Am I doing it right?

Pretty shit rule of thumb. Owen's comments are cnutish not because Ronaldo was a great footballer but because it's generally cnutish to make fun of someone else's weight, particularly on a public platform (or speak about it thereon).
 
Ronaldo has now responded to the jibe, telling AS: “I am shocked as to how much importance my weight garners in the world we live in. I don’t know why it is so important, to be honest.”

Former Real and Brazil teammate Roberto Carlos added: “I don’t like these type of jokes. Ronaldo is a very good friend of mine and we have to be careful. The thing about Ronaldo is not about his body, it’s his heart, he has a very big heart.”

Are these comments genuine? I can't believe them, I really can't.
