REUTERS: Former England and Newcastle United strikers Michael Owen and Alan Shearer became involved in a war of words on social media on Tuesday over comments in Owen's new autobiography 'Reboot'.
"He was brought in at St James' Park as the saviour... it could have been a great story. But he failed. Newcastle United were relegated... rather than examine his own shortcomings, it felt easier to blame Michael Owen," Owen wrote. Shearer responded with a post on Twitter that had a video of Owen saying he couldn't wait to retire during the last seven years of his career, adding the caption:"Yes Michael, we thought that also, whilst on £120k a week."Owen responded suggesting he was not sure Shearer was"as loyal to Newcastle" as the 49-year-old made it out to be.
