Mr Samuels sounds a bit pissed off from the reply I got. Dear Mr. Samuels, I have to say your article was amusing to put it mildly. I felt it was some kid on a rant about one of his heroes not getting a standing ovation. I think what you fail to grasp is in football like in life you cannot look retrospectively at things. The way Owen left after lying on the official site was nothing less than disgraceful. If he was a foriegner the press would have hounded him. Your comments about Rafa joining because of Owen are so laughable its untrue. We are the most successful club in Britain and Rafa joined us because of what we are Liverpool FC. The journalists may lack a brain cell between them to realise that fact but we do not give a damn about that. Dear Genius, The "most succesful club in Britain" had not won the League in 15 years or the European Cup in over 20 when Benitez joined. Owen's goals kept it on nodding acquaintaince with success and only a fool would deny it. Yours sincerely, Martin Samuel.
