Michael Owen has had enough.
The BT Sports pundit commentary style comes in for frequent criticism, with many disliking his apparent tendency to say things that seem pretty obvious.
Like, for example, when he said Manchester City fail to win when they don’t score.

However, Owen has taken issue with The Daily Star attributing quotes to him from yesterday’s game between Manchester City and Leicester City, and claims he never said “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

To state the obvious, it seems Owen isn’t happy.
