Michael Owen blasts the Daily Star for ‘making up’ commentary quotes…

Michael Owen has had enough.

The BT Sport pundit's commentary style comes in for frequent criticism on social media, with many fans disliking his tendency to state the obvious. Like, for example, when he said Manchester City fail to win when they don't score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-lSocDBkj8 But Owen has taken issue with the Daily Star for attributing quotes to him from yesterday's game between Man City and Leicester City which he claims he never said. Specifically the line: "If the game finished now, Leicester would win." https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/696428578469236736 https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/696431017788358661 Owen went further, and hit out at "expert" journalists, who he claims don't possess a fraction of his football knowledge. https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/696433961522880516 If we were stating the obvious, we'd say Owen isn't happy.
