That clip 'hate fueled jealously' I believe it was titled disappeared off Youtube a while back I realised when I was trying to find it.

It was indeed Beasley. He's a Chelsea fan and a big admirer/mate of Hughes and he outright lied on Sunday Supplement that Mancini was in the stands for Hughes's last match before he was sacked.

He was duly exposed as a liar and he promised to apologise to City fans for it on his next appearance on Sunday Supplement. During a discussion about something else he suddenly veered off topic and mumbled "I promised to apologise to City fans so now I have" and immediately went back on topic. No mention of what he was apologising for which mjust have confused a lot of neutrals. As apologies go it was as low key and mealy mouthed as they come. And it was clear he didn't mean it.

Beasley had to apologise for saying something about David Silva, no?

Involved using the cover of his baby son being premature?

Wasn't that John Dillon?

Two of those are now dead and the other two dead, professionally.

So many, hard to keep up, bud!

 

[JASR]

Quite a bit.

Gritted teeth? Or were you asked to turn up the hyperbole to keep getting the gigs?

 

[wahablue]

Keep that clip for posterity,to show up coming future fans the Shit we (the Club) had to put up with,and the vile,lieing,press (media) are still at it a decade down the road.

Well I enjoyed that! You forget to a degree how bitter they were before they became a snide bunch as we went on to be the most successful and best run club in England after that airing of Sunday Supplement. The one thing that does remain though is the lying, it is the one constant in all the years since. Also, with the management structure at City, from the kids who answer the phone through to the directors, that structure will ensure City will be at the top table for a very long time. And that is what hurts and eats away at the media, like a slow, flesh eating bug.

I slagged 'em to fuck, every time!

Bit of a standing joke in the press room I would refuse all hospitality and remain in press box, would not even use their toilets.

 

[hammocity]

Bunch of no marks, their hatred of City was unbelievable, would they ever do a hatchet job on the Red shirts? Biggest laugh was “they have no structure”, wankers.

You may be thinking of John Dillon on Talkshite.

I know Woolnough is dead, which other one?

This clip never grows old. A tissue of lies from start to finish. The old chestnut that Ya Ya was on £220,000 a week at that point. I know 100 per cent this was totally false from a rock-solid source but it was repeated time and again. So many of the attacks on City have been based on lies.

However you look at it, it certainly didn't age well, did it..?!

That tv 'discussion' was an appalling piece of sports 'journalism' even at the time.

It should be forever a reminder to all Blues of the deliberate, partial campaign of untruth, innuendo and rumour that media johnnies have conducted against our club on behalf of their favoured G14/G18 clubs.

 

[Claytop]

Thanks, someone managed to get it back up.

I imagine this is how most of the 'What's App' groups real feeling about City are.

Wow. I forgotten just how vile and full lies and crap that discussion was.

Fulbrook
