Michael Owen has once again revealed himself to be a wrong’n and a potential danger to society with a new insight into his unsettlingly bland existence.

Speaking in a Q&A session with Joe to promote the launch of Umbro’s new Speciali boot, Owen delivered a revelation so disturbing that Pies would advise he be subject to 24-hour police surveillance from now on.

Asked to name his favoured brand of tea bag (the only acceptable answer of course being ‘Yorkshire’), the former England striker instead replied:

I’ve never drunk a cup of tea in my life, or coffee for that matter.

But, I’ve just learnt how to make one.

Merciful heavens. First the whole ‘I’ve only seen eight movies and I loathed them all‘ thing, now this…

As a conservative estimate, Pies would posit that we drink roughly 75 cups of tea every 24 hours. To our mind, anything less than 10 cups a day is edging into ‘serial killer’ territory.

This man quite obviously has a problem.

And that’s not to disregard the fact that Michael Owen is a 38-year-old adult who has only just mastered the art of adding boiled water to coffee granules and stirring them with a spoon.

We’ve heard enough. Lock him up and throw the key in a reservoir.

    I’ve never drunk one either in absolute honesty, but reading that I’m in the same category as Owen, well…

    Just waiting for the kettle to boil now!

  2. Ruiz says:

    At his peak, he was the best english center forward of the last 30 years.

  3. Simmons says:

    It’s cool to be odd.

  4. Sjakie Meulemans says:

    Has he, by any chance, ever declared himself a convinced Christian? That would somehow perfectly fit the picture for me. I also wonder what kind of pyjamas he chooses to wear.

  5. JP says:

    Behave with that nonsense about Yorkshire tea. It would be the absolute worst if it wasn’t for Typhoo.

      @JP: Watch it buddy boy. I can’t remember banning anybody from Pies ever, but you’re sailing incredibly close to the wind here!

    im a twinings man myself

  7. NCFCPie says:

    Don’t feed the trolls. It’s obvious that nobody in their right mind would choose to drink Typhoo.

  8. Rob says:

    This man has kids, can you imagine their lives?
    Oh and it’s got to be PG pyramids

    Brings to mind my Grandparents. Granddad was a Cajun, so the strong Louisiana style coffee was for him. Grandmother was from Hammersmith, and she drank Twinings Earl Grey with lemon by the buckets. I still recall his response to her putting the kettle on…”You drinking that Herby Effluent again?” To which she would reply “Put a sock in it love, It is the only thing that makes this bloody bog tolerable!”

    There is only one tea brand in the world, and all you people who think differently are blasphemic lunatics. You might go back to feeding the world with 8-year-old Tottenham articles to expand your world domination plans by turning everyone into brainless spurs minions, Chris. You could use Michael Owen as a frontrunner of your brain damaging troops, my friend. The only thing which saves me from losing my marbles is a good cuppa Barry’s Tea of Ireland. Confusing people, confusing articles, confusing preferences, confusing modern football. I might call Sepp Blatter to take a good rest in his holy premises in an attempt to get away from this mess.
