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.

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.”
Good old Daily Star. Probably sell around 33 copies a day compared to my 3.3m followers. #Desperate pic.twitter.com/yxRctuj5PN

In this day and age it's amazing how people can print such 'quotes' and get away with it. No wonder nobody buys such drivel nowadays.

Owen went further, and hit out at “expert” journalists, who he claims don’t possess a fraction of his football knowledge.
I reckon I've forgotten more about football than their 'expert' journalists will ever know. #JogOn https://t.co/Mf2Hcls2Kt

If we were stating the obvious, we’d say Owen isn’t happy.
