I know/knew this creature, Damocles. And on this occasion you are most incorrect
Not sure if we've 'clashed' on other topics, but I agree 100% with that.JohnMaddocksAxe said:That is a fair reply.
But I said this on that thread yesterday and I'll say it again.
The man's agenda is coloured by his relationship/hero worshipping of Hughes.
He knows that Hughes is always willing to shit on people in the press and no doubt Hughes has been to him in the past with a request for dirty work which benefits both of them. (Fair enough, as a journo perhaps he is doing his job well by cultivating a relationship with someone who is so prone to back stabbing and using the press to promote an agenda)
Add this to this strange belief that many in the English media have regarding Hughes as some sort of modern footballing great (he was a good striker, nowhere near great) and their boyhood/teenage admiration of him and it is so obvious that certain sections of the media have a very duplicitous agenda when they comment on Hughes.
First comes the cosy, self serving relationship they have with him.
Second comes their teenage fantasies about Hughes the player and, in some cases, the posters they had on their walls.
A very distant third (if that) comes the truth and a balanced view.
Beasley's efforts on that programme yesterday, where he peppered it with, and this is not too strong, lies, proves that he is anything but objective.

LongsightM13 said:The three people he lists as 'mates' are all former Chelsea players, hence the 'only Fulham' line. And, I would wager, the 'Come on you Blues' line. See what he did there? So clever, tricking us thick northeners into thinking he was talking about City. He is a genius.
I once had the misfortune to briefly work alongside this smackhead-looking Gimp and he freely admitted to me that he despised City as 'the ultimate northern losers', but could never report on Chelsea as he would be 'too biased'
