Two of them have now passed away and the other two are dead, professionally!

Paul Smith was sacked when it was eventually discovered he wasn't actually attending games, but doing them off the TV, pissed out of his head.

As for Beasley, he made himself a national joke during the Redknapp tax evasion case before burning his last bridge when he broke Mourinho's confidence to write a book on his supposed mate. No other work was forthcoming.

I especially have fond memories of Beasley's world exclusive quoting his source: "Pep is joining Man City, that's 99.999per cent. He joined Bayern the next day.

He was only three years out.

I also remember the odious Beasley having a meltdown on the Hawksbee and Jacobs Show on Talkshite, after Andy Jacobs called him out about some shite he’d been spouting. Can’t remember what it was precisely, but by the end he was all but challenging Jacobs to a fight!

Ah it wasn't Beasley's fault
If you remember he said that Mancini was watching the game at the Etihad when Hughes got sacked
Well quite obviously he thought he'd seen Guardiola at a game

Should have gone to Specsavers

He really is a bit of a weirdo wannabe hardman.

He once started a punch-up in the press box at Wembley in the mid-90s when United destroyed Chelsea in the FA Cup Final.

Beasley and some fat red wanker sports editor from the Daily Sport called Kevin Kelly started scrapping.

Most amusing to watch them rolling about on the floor.

Of all the managers to use as a juxtaposition to our extravagant spending he elects to cite Mourinho ffs.

"Mourinho wouldn't just walk in and get the cheque book out and buy this player and that player..."

Not much he wouldn't! Absolute comedy gold.

If I had read that in a transcript I would have thought he was being deliberately ironic for comedy purposes. Instead he was being deadly serious.

I can think of 2 players who they splashed the cash on but haven't exactly set the Premier League on fire. On top of that you have Piano Man's substantial contract (and probably a tidy signing on fee).

Just a tiny bit of fact checking opens this s**t up as complete bollocks. No better than Fox News.
 
On a slightly different tack, as someone who can normally only watch on TV, i'm wondering at what point Sky and BT are going to realise that one of our regular tactics is a very fast, accurate ball straight from Ederson to start an attack.

The number of times they are showing a replay or have cut away to something else and miss what could be a chance creating moment is frustrating.

Actually any time they're showing pictures of the crowd or a manager close-up whilst game is in play, is just irritating. They do it all the time, fuck off, i want to watch the game.

It is one of my big moans also, you can hear the crowd getting excited and we are looking at a replay or a manager sat picking his nose. I don't think they have realised what we look to do from goal kicks, they are just thick. On a similar note, one of the idiots doing the half time revue bollocked Everton for not moving the defenders up to the half way line to 'close the space' ! He didn't understand there is a reason why we spread our wingers wide (to create that space) AND you can't be offside fom a goal kick so if they move upto the half way lin Eddie pings it over them.
