Michael Owen reveals frustration with Capello

If this was any other player would you have reacted the same?

If Carlton Cole had come out and said the same, I would have reacted entirely the same way.

Fair enough, don't see it as much of a big deal/talking point.

He thinks Capello hates him, only Capello knows.. myself I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking you're good enough for something even if others don't.

There isn't. However, there is something wrong with thinking you deserve a place in the team despite doing fuck all for 4+ years.

Well deserved.

Owen is a cunt, and to think he should have a chance in the England squad is delusion

Owen

Owen.

Shouldn't be in the squad now. Time to start bringing the youth in for the 2014 world cup. Maybe play him in a meaningless friendly but that's it.

He would be in over Defoe if he got regular football tbh.

A player who has lost pace through injuries, doesn't get much game time, scores infrequently and is getting on, and he expects to play for england.
No chance mate.

honestly I feel bad for him, most other squads in the league he would've got more chances to play. And you have to admit, even at his age, he's got more skill in his boots then someone like Crouch ever will.

Defoe has pulled out for the Switzerland game so he might take his place.

Nonsense. He has battered wife syndrome. Nobody's forcing him to stay at Man Utd. And now I hear he wants a new contract with them. So he's getting what he asks for.

dont feel bad for him at all, no way he deserves to be in the suad and he couldve gone to a smaller club o get game time, but he chose to stay at united collecting his huge wages and sit on the bench insead.

He deserves no sympathy. He made his bed, he can lie in it.


He always put England first, as far as I am concerned, I am delighted he isn't getting the most important thing in his career anymore.

Could have went to any Premier League team, but he moved to United knowing he would pick up extra £££.

Owen > Defoe.

Defoe > Owen

If I was at the end of my career all I'd want is money tbh.

If you were 60, 5 years left of working, and you had the chance to take a huge pay rise, would you sit on shit wages, or take the higher pay?

Higher pay.

Owen is very very wealthy already though.

He's on pay as you score contract allegedly

What an awful comparison.

I assume for the previous 40+ years you'd been on a massive contract already, considering that's was what Owen was on.

Englands strikers all suck anyway honestly, besides Rooney and maybe Bent.

Defoe and Crouch have been terrible this year, Carlton Cole's no good, etc.

What I'm trying to say is that it's Agbonlahor time.

Gambled it all away
