Twitter is not too pleased with Robbie Savage’s commentary of Newcastle v Liverpool

We never thought we'd see the day that people would pine for Michael Owen.

Owen was given the day off as his two former teams squared up against each other, so it was left to Robbie Savage to take on co-commentating duties for Newcastle v Liverpool. Granted, the first half was utterly abject, but not quite as bad as Savage's commentary.

I’ve learnt a lot from listening to Robbie Savage over the years. Alas, they all apply to hair products and I’m bald. — Paul Tomkins (@paul_tomkins) November 1, 2014

Robbie Savage talking about Mehdi Abeid as if he's a 16 year-old getting his 1st ever cap. He was one of Panathinaikos' main men last year! — Kevin Doocey (@KevinDoocey) November 1, 2014
