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

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

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.

yes.

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

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.

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.

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

Owen is quite frankly shit.

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

Yeah, but we wouldn't hear the crowd then.

Lol.

Rather listen in silence than listen to that old woman Owen.

He was always mundane in post match interviews and after every word it was "y know" so I'm surprised they employed him for commentary. He's definitely sound down material.
