Boo boy "bemused":
Tw*t tweets
After his poor reception at Gallowgate on Tuesday, poor misunderstood Michael Owen chose to bellyache via a social networking site as follows:
"Got poor reception off the home fans which was disappointing. Was desperate to score! Knew I would get booed, as that’s what a lot of fans do, but if they knew the facts then they may have a different opinion.
"From what most of you Newcastle fans are saying you should be pleased I left the club! If I had known that earlier I could have left sooner!
"For the record I tried my best in every game for Newcastle. Under KK I played well and I’ll never forget the 2 I scored against Sunderland.
"When I meet Newcastle or Liverpool fans they all respect what I’ve done for their clubs. In stadiums it changes, 1 boo and the rest follow.
"By the way I’m not looking for sympathy. As long as my family don’t boo me when I walk through the door I couldn’t care less!!!”
"Tried my best in every game" is an interesting phrase, but the source of our ire remains those games when he didn't actually make it on the field of play - or did so with apparent reluctance....
