the new away kitNo one leaves Liverpool and turned into a megastar. Rushie left for Juve and flopped. Owen followed suit undeterred by Rushie's bad experience yet failed to hold a regular place amidst the 'Galacticos'.
One difference is that Rushie came back to his roots, Owen did not. He chose Newcastle instead.
Rushie was accepted back and cemented his status as legend but sadly Owen never recovered his form when he as a 18 year old burst into the limelight, bamboozling the entire Argentinian defense in 1998 WC. In a way he was cursed by us, the Anfield faithfuls.
Tomorrow, Owen will star for his new team. Will the Koppites cheer for him? No way Jose, he will be treated like any other opponent, no quarters asked, no quarters given.
Think Newcastle will be playing Championship football next season and Owen will leave in the summer. Any suitors? Everton are touted to get his signature to beef up their attack but do we care? Not one bit.
Owen is history, he'll never recapture those glory days with weakening knees, ankle,shin and metatarsal.
And tomorrow, Anfield would be witness to another annihilation of Newcastle, Owen included.
That's another step closer to the Championship. Pity him....

Haha he might not even get to play tonight la bro
Anfield tradition, following the footsteps of Rushie and Fowler, Owen will return to where he belongs.
But the tradition is seemingly to be broken.
mr singh,
at present rate, nobody is bothered about the possible return of once prodigal son, MO. He is best forgotten, let him ply his trade in Everton for all I care.
Bro Michael Owen has always been overrated. His price shot through the roof simply because of that goal against Argentina when Zanetti and Co were too afraid to body check him...yeah sure he was a speedy and opportunistic finisher but in my book, Lineker and Rush were much better than Owen lah! But he did the job for all you Liverpool fans
