Summary

Today’s talking point for our bitesize dose of Liverpool-related news centres around Michael Owen. Crucial to the 2000/01 Treble winning season, including taking the Ballon d’Or in the same year, Owen left for Real Madrid back in 2004. Here Dan Morgan and Joel Rabinowitz from Liverpool.com look back on how things could have played out differently for the former Reds striker, had he not first moved to Madrid in 2004, before joining Newcastle United in 2005. Ahead of the launch of his new autobiography, Owen has also been caught in a Twitter spat with ex-Newcastle United teammate Alan Shearer as the guys discuss. The Agenda is also available on the Blood Red YouTube channel HERE. Enjoy! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
