What kind of reception will Owen get?

[Yozza]

Chalk and cheese. Diouf was and still is an uber cunt

[Craig_H]

I'm not a fan of booing ex-players, irrespective of whatever circumstances they left under - he was a fantastic player for us in his prime - he was awesome during the treble season & provided some great memories during the lean times - so now, personally I couldnt give a **** about him - & he did leave us for Real Madrid

He's moved on so have we, no animosity as FFS he's at Newcastle now

Just wondering what you all think...

One that he's used to...like this:

Booing ex-players is completely classless. Anyone who feels like booing ought to cast their minds back to that sunny afternoon in May 2001.

FFS.

Yep.

Except diouf. He should be booed. And hit.

nice one Sid

Diouf was a prick of a person. He used to spit on people ffs! Michael never did anything wrong, all he did was take an oppertunity most could never even dream of.

I have a funny feeling that he always felt he would go there for a few years and end up returning to LFC. Shame it hasn't happened. A team with torres and Owen is a title winning one.

You're not seriously suggesting that the only difference between us and winning the title would be signing Owen?

Took me a while to work it out though

Owen deserves a good reception, a LFC legend full stop.

He let himself down the way he left and he knows it but water under the bridge.

If he gets himself fit and back on form, would take him back at right price/wage (maybe a pay as you play deal)

[Pacman]

I'd never Boo him.

I wouldn't cheer him either.

Selfish little **** but I could never forget the Arsenal cup final.

[JohnDoe]

Michael Owen is not a Liverpool legend. Obviously a great player for us and I'll never boo him, but he never had that connection with the crowd. I never felt he was "one of us", was always talking about England this and England that.

[ELNINO 9]

**** england

[Morten_nogamst_Pedersen]

He more or less got a polite aplause last time round, if I remember correctly.

FFS.

Whatever you think of Owen as a person he did some great things for us when we were a less than sparkling outfit. The way he left was a real downer but he had by then given us a lot to be thankful for. I don't think I could give him a rapturous reception but he does deserve a deal of respect.

Exactly

Without Owen scoring some vital goals during the 2003/04 season we wouldn't have even qualified for the CL in 2004/05, let alone be in a position to win it. This point is conveniently overlooked by some.

I wonder if Rafa would have chose us ahead of Inter had we'd been in the Uefa Cup .........

[DannyMan2006]

I don't see how any player who leaves us like he did can be given a great applause upon there return.

He left us in the lurch pure and simple. A £20m+ player leaving for £8m and Nunez FFS! He was offered a good contract and ****ed us of for Real. I have to say I'm delighted the way his career has turned out.

Shows any other **** who thinks of leaving us for more glory the reality of football. Owen had everything at Liverpool but it wasn't enough.

Truly great player for us and a great pro on and off the field. He deserves the respect but not a great homecoming. Nor does he deserve to get booed.

In these situations silence can be deafining
