Or when he told a fellow BT Sports pundit that he was "embarrassed for him" because they disagreed over a penalty claim in a Celtic match. You just don't get this from Michael Owen. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/782547933015248898 The former Celtic and Blackburn Rovers striker even had the gumption to disagree with Roy Keane, another ex-footballer famous for his non-nonsense approach to punditry. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/776848175709716480 The pair also seem to share a similar opinion on Theo Walcott. It was recently put to Keane on ITV's Champions League coverage that the Arsenal forward, who was on a good run of form, has matured and started to reach his potential.

His pass appreciation is desperately poor and his defensive clearance just after half-time summed his night up. Everyone has credited Gareth Southgate for having the courage to drop Wayne Rooney, but he needs to learn fast and leave Walcott out.*Gulp*. Hope you're okay, Theo.
