Michael Owen’s attempt at a bit of fun with Halloween played out just how you’d imagine

In terms of Twitter mentions, Michael Owen's are likely only rivalled by Gary Lineker's shat-tastic replies.

We'd very much doubt that either make a habit of frequently checking their notifications from unverified accounts and it certainly seems like a wise choice. Owen tried to have a bit of fun on Monday but Twitter users don't tend to allow much fun to be had on their watch. Responding to a Halloween XI which altered footballers' names to make them more frightening, the former Liverpool and Manchester United forward decided to offer up the, let's be honest, not great "Mi-Ghoul Owen" suggestion to the discussion. https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/793112810796552197 The effort was not applauded and not a single lol was had. Instead, a deluge of abuse avalanched its way into Owen's mention folder. Poor Michael. Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live
