To be fair, these tweets are probably more interesting than Owen’s commentary…
Michael Owen is on commentary duty for BT Sport at White Hart Lane this afternoon as Spurs host Manchester United but, like always, not everyone is a fan of the former Liverpool and Man Utd’s strikers insight from the commentary box.
Paddy Power are always upfront, honest and frequently hilarious with their views on the beautiful game but it seems that Match of The Day host Gary Lineker took umbrage with the bookies remarks about Owen’s style.
Every now and again you’re just watching the game and think…… Michael Owen what the f*ck are you on about??

@GaryLineker Because he had a decent football career I can’t pass comment on his work in the commentary box? Get down from that Ivory Tower! — Paddy Power (@paddypower) December 28, 2014
@paddypower Such originality! And you put Michael Owen away for being bland.
