It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

[BoyBrumby]

All this "insults or the perception thereof by electronic social media" is really too ghey for words, isn't it? When did international sportsmen turn into needy teenage girls? Where the **** does it end? Pietersen getting a monk on because Swann unfriends him on Facebook?

Remember the good old days when men used to just chin someone they had an issue with? Sigh.

Someone has to have tried to do that to KP at some point, surely?

You'd like to think so, but he is a big fella. Imagine Fred probably came close on occasions tho and know where my money would go in that particular bout of fisticuffs.

Indeed... reckon even Stuey Broad might be able to take KP in a fight.

I'm thinking Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary - a film which I'm sure you must be familiar with?

Damn Brumbers makes a case much better than me again, but kind of what I've been saying all along.

Trego also said something similar

speaking of benching and KP I think he'd struggle with a snickers

Is that what you say to yourself when you can't get it up?

 

[FBU]

Well the bowlers union have their say

Anderson
Kevin talked about having issues within the dressing room. What’s frustrating is that this was, literally, the first we knew about it. Kevin has mentioned nothing to us.

Broad
'Certainly within the four walls, I wouldn't have thought there was a problem.

Swann
I'd just say that, if there were issues, we pride ourselves on having a very open dressing room and he certainly didn't mention any problems to anyone else.’

Bresnan
"I was very surprised when he said those things in his press conference at the end of the Leeds game, and I think a few of the other lads were as surprised as I was.
"I didn't feel anything had changed inside the dressing-room - there was no bickering, no fighting, there was nothing."Personally I've got no problem with Kevin.

Then Prior had that talk with KP and in his unretirement video said he was now fine with the dressing room and couldn't wait to get back.

Then the texts to some SA players.....

Wonder what the dressing room will be like when he returns?

How about you read some posts in this thread? I've already described what Pietersen needs to do and why he needs to do it.

And it's utter horse**** because it wont prove a thing
