A penalty saved, Manchester City take the lead before conceding one of the worst Champions League goals of all time but all we can think about is Michael Owen's pay cheque.
He keeps getting them from BT Sport.
We bet they're huge. Much bigger than any insight he has ever given on television.
It's not new or original to have a go at little Mickey, but then nothing he says is new or original either, however it is so profoundly uninteresting that we cannot look away.
It's like watching a really uninteresting car crash happening in super slow motion where nothing gets hurt bar the IQs of the spectators.
Mother of God, on Wednesday night in Paris we had Owen forgetting the third letter of PS.........G's name ahead of kick-off, before he talked us through the point of walls at free-kicks.
Twice.
Seriously. Massive pay checks.
We knew it was going to be a good night when he fecked up his first piece to camera.

If you knew the answers to both questions, have a really monotonous voice and hate the cinema then maybe you too could soon be carrying home giant novelty cheques.

This would be incredible! Right now, Nathan Collins’ focus is Ireland and Brentford, with the centre back captaining both sides. And this will be his focus for at least the next decade, as the Leixlip man is still just 24. However, in an interview with the BBC, he spoke about his early roots in the […]
