thenorthumbrian 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I listened to an interview Owen on Radio 5 live. And he managed to avoid mentioning Newcastle at all. He talked about how England were doing under Mclaren , the fact that calamity James is a good artist (apparently) and how he hopes to have a great career with england and how he hopes to win a few more trophies at club level , without using the word Newcastle. I have a feeling we are way down on Owens list of priorities apart from when he picks up his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 To be fair, he answers the questions he's asked. He's not going to change the topic to Newcastle just to keep the fans happy. Though I do wonder how high we actually are on his priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Equally there have been quotes from Owen saying how much he wants to win things with us and that he's fed up with this constant talk of him not being happy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I haven't heard the interview but I imagine it has been edited. And has already been mentioned, he can only answer the questions put to him. Personally, I reckon that as long as we can avoid relegation - which seems to be becoming a harder task these days - he will be more than happy to play for us and do everything he can to bring us success. Just my opinion like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/6203570.stm Newcastle striker Michael Owen says he is confident he will play this season. The 26-year-old is recovering from knee surgery after he ruptured a cruciate ligament at the World Cup in June. "I'm confident I'll play this season," he told BBC Five Live's Sportsweek. "It would be great if I could go into the summer knowing everything's fine. "The turn of the year will be the important time when I have a scan, but I'm sure I'm going to come back as strong as ever." Interview: Michael Owen He added: "As long as the scan shows that everything has knitted together nicely, we can press on and hopefully I can start jogging early February." Having joined Newcastle in August 2005, Owen played only 10 games for his new club before breaking a bone in his foot. I'd like to think I'm just past the middle of my career He returned to play in the Magpies' final game of the season before heading to the World Cup with England. "The injury has been difficult because my one passion, apart from my family, has been taken away from me," said Owen. "It's been a long slog and there's still quite a lot of work to be done, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm looking forward to playing again. "I'll be 27 on 14 December so I'd like to think I'm just past the middle of my career and hopefully I have many more happy years on the football pitch in front of me. "This is a clean slate and I hope I can get that speed back that I had when I was 18." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 89 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 have a funny feeling the year off will be good for the lad. however the only thing michael owens always wanted to do is be englands top scorer. any thing else is secondary...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I heard it, and he got asked a couple of questions about his injury then the rest were about England. Not his fault like. Blame the beeb, not Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 This whole Owen doesn't like us paranoia isn't helped by threads like this, by the way. If people keep bleating on about it maybe he'll hear it, think we're ungrateful and fuck off somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't I assure you, it does when I click it! T-Kieth, he hasn't played much for us, which isn't his fault, but when he has he's done the buisness. I'm grateful for the goals he scored last season. I'm grateful he seems committed to this club, despite what paranoid idiots say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I haven't heard the interview but I imagine it has been edited. It was a live interview. To be fair to Owen, it was on Sportsweek and the host Gary Richardson didn't ask him any Newcastle-related questions, therefore he wasn't really given the opportunity to speak about us. It was all specifically about the injury or he was asked questions about England's performances, McClaren etc. I don't like Gary Richardson, he doesn't have the right style, he goes too much in for the political-grilling style and it doesn't quite fit for sport.
