Is Michael Owen the worst co commentator

[Herb]

Where's the Owen clip from?

Adebayor stamped deliberately on Demichelis and owen was crowing about it in delight and bragging that he used to deliberately injure other player like that when he was playing. I think it's an absolute disgrace that BT Sport are employing an idiot who encourages what is nothing less than deliberate criminal behaviour.
If you check footage around the time of the incident you'll hear owen in raptures about it. I've cancelled my subs to BT because of it and I won't renew unless owen's kicked out. If other people complain them something might happen.

Luckily in the US we don't have to hear him. Arlo White and Graham le saux aren't perfect and were slightly biased towards spurs, but at least they talk within reason. Both were amazed that Demi was booked, thought the handball/basketball moment was a penalty, and even suggested that the stamp on Silva could be considered a red card by some refs. They also have the common sense to give us credit while we are steamrolling teams at the moment, without feeling the itch to moan about our £££.

I simply don't understand what compelled BT Sport to hire owen. Anyone who listens to him for 10 seconds starts to either fall asleep or fill with rage. Fans from almost all teams detest him (especially newcastle and liverpool). Besides the goal he scored vs us, I don;t even think rag fans like him that much.

No charisma + negative commentating ability + general dislike from the public + ??????? = getting the job

No I mean the video in this thread where Owen acts like a jerk against a thirteen year old.

Probably from his PR agency "Michael Owen - The Brand"

Wouldn't you have a kind word for an organisation that paid you a million a year for staying at home to muck out the stables, lol

In a world of awful co commentators and soccer pundits Michael Owen stands out heads and shoulders above the rest as the worst of all time. Every single person that I know who watched the game on Monday said that he was ruining the game for them. BT should cut their losses with him as no one will ever take them serious as long as Owen is working with them.

Guys, we don't get to hear him here. Is he being universally condemned or is this just you guys being....well.....match thread like?

Nope....I consider myself quite tolerant, but he is a tit of the highest order

[Chinners]

Someone's obviously mentioned the drone to him ....

@themichaelowen

Unfortunately the voice coach's remit is to make him less excitable

Some of us here do get to hear him.

It's not a good thing.

[Arjan Van Schotte]

yes.

[nottsblue]

Have BT realised he is shit? Andy Gray is far superior and seems to be getting more games now

[Dameerto]

If he's under contract and they havent sacked him maybe they can turn him into a studio pundit - I never listen to those bits anyway.

[AG7]

He's apparently live tweeting the game ... and in the middle somewhere he says, oh I'm not watching it but this should be this ...

Here's his exact tweet:

@themichaelowen: Not watching the match but surely Wenger must stick with The Ox. Without him Arsenal lack pace in the absence of Walcott.

[nottsblue]

If it can be believed I think his commentary on todays game plumbed new depths, even for him.

[budfox]

Owen is quite frankly shit.

[sheblue]

It's very simple. Turn the volume off.
Problem solved.
Lol.
