Alan Shearer has sent out the following tweet likely in response to Michael Owen’s article in the Mirror yesterday.
Yes Michael, we thought that also, whilst on £120k a week….. @nufc https://t.co/bzzEDdjdN1 pic.twitter.com/I4CdsQcKKr

We expected that Alan would respond sooner or later to Michael Owen’s claim that their feud stems from Alan’s “failure” as manager of Newcastle.
This is a good clip for Alan to have used in his response. In Owen’s article last night, he suggested that Alan was upset due to Michael’s unwillingness to play while injured for Newcastle during their relegation battle in 2009.
Owen disputed that assertion and said that Alan was really upset that he could not save Newcastle from relegation that season. In essence, Owen claimed that Shearer was using him as a scapegoat.
We expect to see a lot of similar responses from many people over the next few weeks. Owen is intent on selling a book in which it appears he is going to blame everyone except himself for his career.
The clip that Alan Shearer has posted is Michael in his own words verifying what every Newcastle fan already knew about him.

Comment #3Stop giving that useless cripple publicity. He is genuinely one of the most bitter, miserable, self obsessed people I’ve ever had the misfortune of knowing.
No more about owen and his bookie-wook.

Comment #6The section on Michael Owen in Paul Ferris’s book ‘The boy on the shed’ is an eye opener. Owen basically pretended to be injured to ensure he would be fit for England games while we were paying him 120k per week – the man is a disgrace and a weasel and I wouldn’t believe a word he says.

Comment #7Ron Knee
Parliament may need to deal with Ashley but with Johnson as Trump’s lackey, there’s not a cat in hells chance of that. That little trip share a common personality trait – psychopathy!
Ashley’s behaviour towards Debenhams show he’s a truly vindictive man who if he can’t win, he’ll crush his business competitors and critics. Might it explain his behaviour toward NUFC fans?

Comment #8Sorry lads, not football related. I have been trying to get my grandson to open a bank account, so on his 16th birthday he goes along with his mum who has an account since she left school at Barclays. They are armed with his passport and proof of address, plus a substantial amount of birthday money only to be told that he has to make an appointment earliest being the end of Sept. what the fxxx is going on.

Ashley is an extremely aggressive business man
(most successful ones are)
If he’d been more knowledgeable about footy and more
focused on NUFC he could have really done things with
us.

Comment #11Cheers Trent, the world has gone mad. Thought banks were crying out for new customers. Appears they went to other banks in the high street to be told the same.
In my day I had left school at 16 and had an account on the same day.

Comment #12Jib your adoration of Ashley shines through. He’s a grotesque. A psychopathically greedy monster. It’s mental illness to just want more and more and more. He has no interest in running a successful club that requires investment. He feeds from us. He wants stasis. Subsistence. He wants to pervert the sporting principle of doing your best. Sly praise for Ashley has no place in a Newcastle United supporters mouth. The world would be better without him. I really hope he’s bitten off more than he can chew and it crashes down around him. He is very focussed on stealing NUFC from within. His attention on us is not in question. We are a huge part of his empire. That aside still not sure how you get a pass for insinuating someone is a paedophile on here. You and Ashley make nice bedfellows.

Comment #14From another thread. Sorry but necessary
MICHAEL SICKNOTE OWEN.
What the F##K are you on about now you idiot ? You were a TOTAL waste of money. You used NUFC to fund your stud farm ( Around £20M ) You never played decent football for us or played against a scouse team for us. You’re just a rich TIT ! You try to sound clever when you’re NOT !
Real Madrid had you weighed up and couldn’t get rid of you quick enough. Useless Twat !

Comment #15Well Owen’s just confirmed what we already knew or certainly suspected.
That he uses the anti-Newcastle southern journos disproved crap about “delusional” proves how little he had between the ears to work out suitable jibes.
That he USES pathetic jibes shows that we have been right about the arsehole all along.
And whats even better I don’t think he’s got the anti-Newcastle media siding with him as much as he thought he would either. Just the usual rival fans who allow those same anti-Newcastle media wallahs to do their thinking FOR them – fans from the midlands for example Villa fans in particular kind of thing, whining from-anywhere-but-Manchester Man Yoo fans who still haven’t forgiven Shearer for not joining them 20 plus years ago
All Owens done is reopened a can of worms that damages HIS standing more than Newcastle’s

Comment #16knew he didn’t want to play for Toon after he heard fans comments? 120.000 quid a week & hes just going through the motions. Has the man no pride? Let him face one of the fans that work their asses off all week for less than 0.1% of that just so they can pay to be cheated by the little weasel
