Jim Beglin commenting "Emptyhad" on Live TV | City lodge complaint (pg 38)

[The perfect fumble]

It was caught by many in the first half Jim Beglin called our stadium the 'Emptyhad' then corrected it and said the Etihad!

Cheeky or not this is another low from the media!

We've done what blues have always done, embraced it, made it funny and part of our folklore...

"We’ve! been to,
Rotterdam, Monaco,
Napoli and Rome,
We still get blue empty seats,
Empty seats at home,
Empty seats at home…

Woodward and Bernstein it ain't.

Only joy the inbred navvies can glean at the moment. FUCKING HUMILIATION.

Don't know how he's in a job, average player for the dippers a very long time ago who if I remember broke his leg. Fucks given none. Enjoy their pain.

BOLLOCKS !

It was Dave Whelan who broke his leg

Has he been taking apologising lessons from my wife? How to apologise without actually apologising.

That particular jibe doesn't bother me. What does bother me is a broadcaster / pundit in an official role, to be heard globally by millions, being unable to hide their bias or upset at one team being better than their previous employer / supported club, long enough to actually provide insight into a game.

It's childish, it's buying into the ethos that it's ok to label city as undeserving or cheating, and to follow it up with a non apology is probably fitting. Pointless, like the man himself.

I laughed when he said. I Still think it's funny now: doesn't bother me one bit.

I use "Emptyhad" all the time now when I talk to people. They ask me why I say that, I just just reply that we have no fans.

Me neither. He probably thought he was being a clever **** when really nobody is that arsed.

Jim Beglin. Another brown nose who no doubt when arrives at the emptyhad will be given nothing but first class service. I've just seen the video posted, he knew exactly what he was doing today following the events from the arsenal game last week (assuming he was commentating for BT?). Trying to cause more controversy between us fans and our owners. It's all over twitter, the undertone from other fans is rife. What happened today Jim, was a door not held open for you? was your coffee not hot enough? Or your pawns not fresh enough? Twat.

Even if it was a genuine mistake, it's one you would only make if you had used that word a few times before.
