Michael Owen accuses newspaper of printing false commentary quotes

Burn

Michael Owen has had enough.

The BT Sports pundit commentary style comes in for frequent criticism, with many disliking his apparent tendency to say things that seem pretty obvious.

Like, for example, when he said Manchester City fail to win when they don’t score.

However, Owen has taken issue with The Daily Star attributing quotes to him from yesterday’s game between Manchester City and Leicester City, and claims he never said “If the game finished now, Leicester would win.”

Owen went further, and hit out at “expert” journalists, who he claims don’t possess a fraction of his football knowledge.

To state the obvious, it seems Owen isn’t happy.
