Newcastle United Vs. Manchester United: Michael Owen Introduced To Chorus Of Boos

Hey, a Manchester United corner. I haven't seen enough of these this half. It's not a particularly interesting one - Nani picked it up short and was confronted by Jonas Gutierrez doing his best impression of 'defender with a seizure', which apparently prompted the winger to smack the ball wide of Tim Krul's goal. Anyway, I mention the corner only because it was the result of a very dangerous free kick 20 yards out and just left of the 'D' that United spent a full minute lining up only for Ryan Giggs to smack it straight into the wall. Hence, corner.

Michael Owen has now been introduced for Nani, which has resulted in a rather loud and overwhelming chorus of boos for the ex-Newcastle player. I agree, Newcastle fans. How dare someone leave when out of contract? That sort of behaviour is simply reprehensible, right? You've earned those boos, Michael Owen you monster.

I guess I should also mention that Newcastle aren’t attacking anymore and it’s still 0-0. Manchester United, meanwhile, are going all out, and you can’t really blame them.
