Misleading title, Pearson barely argues whilst Murphy whinges on and on for 7 minutes

[@4exgold]

Really admire Pearson here, dealt with the badgering so well. "speak softly and carry a big stick".

[@lucasfunkt]

Full credit to Pat Murphy, finally standing up to an arrogant manager.

[@philrobinson981]

lucasfunkt I totally agree, Nigel Pearson is the most arrogant manager in World Football

[@Harveygregorxotwod]

He’s the goat get him to Manchester united

[@themightychinful]

Theres only one Nigel Pearson. Pat had a point to make, Pearson dealt with the issue, Pat went on and on trying to get a reaction out of NP.

[@AllTotalCoaching]

Nigel Pearson handled it brilliantly and Pat Murphy couldn't destabilize him no matter what he threw at Nigel Pearson i love his confidence and he doesn't take shit from no one

[@marcomarin1196]

Haha this is hilarious how is the reporter speaking about anger management when he is being calm avoiding any argument while he is trying to aggravate the whole time

[@PhilipCrozet888]

Calm? Well yes, superficially calm. Why is he so reluctant to engage in the discussion? He's obviously ashamed and/or simply knows he's done something wrong.

[@faizfuad8361]

@@PhilipCrozet888 nah, Pearson barely acknowledges Pat and this riles him on.

[@joegreenwood86]

That made me cringe. Pat Murphy just came there to attack the guy when he had already apologised and the apology had been accepted. And he did it for 7 minutes, repeating himself endlessly! Maybe he should take anger management courses himself!

[@Alendi11]

Joe Greenwood pearson is a prick and finally someone has stood up to him. deservedly so. now he will never berate someone again.

[@cameronbrown2530]

How can you defend a bully the guy obviously doesn't give a shit a responsible person would have apologised again to show that he meant it not shrug like a brat who's being told off fuck him I hope he gets sacked because he's a bully

[@bogzplayz3047]

He ain't There's only one Nigel Pearson one Nigel Pears

[@mancdown]

Joe Greenwood For me that was the most amusing part about it. He sat there and calmly soaked up insult after insult without reacting and the knob says he needs anger management!! What a cock!

[@davidoconnell4100]

I rather like Pearson refusing to engage with nonsense.

[@Jay-mu4xl]

I rather like Pat Murphy accepting to engage with an arrogant bully.

[@DM-vo2ke]

@@Jay-mu4xl The irony here is that Pat Murphy is the one being a bully. Telling somebody they should have anger management whilst slowing get more irate doing so is embarrassing journalism. Pearson didn't help himself that season but almost everyone who works under him says what a nice and principled bloke he is. He just hated (rightfully) the nonsense questions he got asked

[@Jay-mu4xl]

@@DM-vo2ke you must be joking. 😭

[@DM-vo2ke]

@@Jay-mu4xl No, I'm basing it on what actually happens in this interview where he's being goaded and Murphy makes such entitled and unprofessional comments. And also basing it on comments from professionals who worked with them. The only person I've seen properly call him out is Matt Mills who's known for being a complete tool

***** Do you mean the same media that hacked Millie Dowler's phone for a story making her parents think she might still be alive when she wasn't?? Surely they deserve our utmost respect!

[@MrMamooshka]

+Harry Webb Pat Murphy didn't hack anyone, and he didn't work for the NOTW either. What an insane comment. It makes as much sense as someone saying you're the same sort of Man City fan that used to be in Oasis. Just nonsense.

[@kaciadam911]

Stood up to a bully? I see one man almost harresing another in a conversation nigel obviously didnt want to ingage in and respectfully refuses.

[@Secret19977]

Kaci Adam pat Murphy is the football equivalent of Jim Acosta, spouts his opinion and refuses to give way for other reporters

[@eNyaaaw]

Pat Murphy has more balls than anyone is football. He calls things how they are and doesn't mess around with his questions. I loved listening to him talk to Paul Lambert when he was at Villa.

[@Thekenno100]

Legend!

Comedy gold, but I appreciate Pearson is under a lot of pressure.

Just been listening to the game podcast and they were saying pat murphy got very little support from fellow reporters and they did not like what he did

[@adrianward3423]

Pat Murphy is a credit to his profession

[@socalledfluffy]

How have I only just seen this? It’s as baffling as people thinking Pearson handled this well. It’s a press conference, where he doesn’t want to speak to the press.

[@joefineman648]

Well played by Pearson. I know he's got some kind of anger management and seems like he has psychopathic tendencies but he kept it under control here.

[@VoiceOfThe]

Probably got home and beat the missus up, though!

[@Lordken1st]

Nigel P is an embarrassment to his club and the premier league! Oh and he got mugged off big time by PM huhuhuhuhuhuhu

[@devilnm]

watched this on bbc...i just have to say that this reporter should be fired for this,for these whole 7 minutes he's tried almost anything he could to get a reaction out of the coach and still hadn't succeeded...now i dont know this manager but that's beside the point.He did what he did,was frustrated,later apologized to that man and moved on...meanwhile this guy thinks he can get away with blatantly telling a man that : he needs anger managment,is paranoid,shouldn't do this,that and so on ,as if he is his kid or something..why the fuck should he personally explain shit to you...all the while making stupid arguments like the media is making money for him because they report football or whatever,as if its a one-sided street.Well dont report sport than dick ,see how that works out for you...or how its not a personal attack,but he is defending his fellow reporter.......this kind of arrogance is exactly what a reporter/journalist should never demonstrate,but whereas the manager actually apologized for what he said , this time i see no reason or explanation why the reporter did what he did here,therefore should be fired immediately...

[@sternumagnum]

Nigel Pearson is the most angry man in football today, anywhere. If there's a more angry man in football today he's not on the telly.

[@colinfilthy]

sternumagnum Roy Keane runs him close...

[@jameskay639]

Have to say, I thought Pat Murphy was the one in the wrong here, not Nigel Pearson. The hypocrisy of the football writers clique is quite unbelievable - they feel quite happy and entitled to criticize managers, but if a manager criticizes a journalist then suddenly they act as if its a great injustice. They can give it but they can't take it, basically!

[@tomjackson7333]

Mr Pearson was always abrupt with reporters during his time with us (Hull City), but now his hurrendous attitude is coming out in the open! Well done Pat Murphy for sticking up for your colleague.

[@ouchiko2]

The guys a total knob.

[@cheekyspoon9085]

ouchiko2 Pat? Indeed he is.

[@craigthomable]

Cheeky Spoon No, he isn't. He speaks a lot of sense. I have some sympathy for Nigel Pearson, but sadly he came over there as needlessly defensive and rude. That said, I think Pat went way too far in suggesting Pearson take an anger management course, especially when, though mean-spirited, he seems to regularly keep his anger well in check.

[@cheekyspoon9085]

Craig Thomas Nigel responded the way he should. Pat was clearly trying to provoke Pearson into doing something similar to what happened yesterday. So he kept his calm, like he should have done yesterday.

[@nickmacky]

ouchiko2 If you're referring to Pat Murphy, then yes, I totally agree.

[@Dragon-it4wk]

Craig Thomas No, Murphy was right to suggest it because Pearson clearly has anger management problems, whether that's a result of autism, or any other paranoia related diagnosis. Giving constructive criticism in a supportive, not hostile, tone is far more helpful than avoiding the issue and saying nothing, contrary to what most people seem to believe. The managers defending Pearson on 'The Morning View' were an absolute disgrace and sent out all the wrong messages.

[@estebancambiasso1360]

Even though I love Claudio I kind of miss pearsons anger and arguments with journos

[@davidspruce5261]

I thought pearson dealt with that very well...

[@robmoss8198]

I have to say Pearson dealt with this brilliantly. The guy was clearly trying to aggravate him into getting upset and saying something rash, and he remained relatively calm.

[@walleyrange]

The point is here, Pearson said originally that there has been criticism of his players but when asked to clarify what they were, he has refused to answer. He has only himself to blame for this. Had he answered Pat Murphys 1st question, this exchange may not have happened

[@pelcenglishcourses1841]

Pat Murphy showed himself up. Nigel - well done.

[@spventures9395]

Why is everyone saying he is a bully? He apologised, other managers have done much worse trying to defend their players. I thought he dealt with the guy very well

[@Greylin91]

Well done Mr Murphey. It's clear Pearson is a nasty bully, it is brilliant to see him getting a taste of his own medicine.

[@tommorris8111]

That wasn't awkward...

[@arnamthedarkthoughts7224]

Pearson took it really well, but I bet he'd love to chuck the guy out by his ear, old fashioned style. He must remain professional, esp after the previous press conference.

[@DonLui9]

Agree with pat 100% there is no need for his behaviour in press conferences when doing so well at Leicester, let down.

[@rizpey1361]

Love Pat Murphy just drilling into him

[@chriswba05170]

I've never seen a manager respond so poorly to the media. His responses here are nothing short of childish. And lets not forget this all started because he called a reporter an 'ostrich'.

[@onthegoldenline]

Everybody's P.E. teacher!

[@supertarantatikataka3313]

Go Go Pat Murphy!

[@LG-kl3co]

Those "Honourable chaps" from the media....kinda say's it all really. Revel in the glory when something goes right and then bite the hand that feeds. I have to say, bully boy or not Pearson kept his calm.

[@123paul]

Well done NP. A study in dignified composure in the face of juvenile needling.

There's a moral to this story, Nigel. See if u can work it out

[@FZeroDragon]

straight badass.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

Journalist will be devastated he didn't get the angry reaction from that he was hoping for. Clearly he was sent there with the sole objective to provoke an outburst from Pearson.

[@05Rudey]

Pat should have shut up after about 2 minutes.

[@ryanh2934]

Hilarious to watch on a screen, but oh my god the other reporters there must have felt awkward!

[@liammurphy5943]

Pearson is just a wannabe tough guy. He'd love to be like Roy Keane except he's not actually hard. This is why he's abused by fans and reporters. Because he has his little tantrums and then immediately backs down and apologises. I'm glad Pat Murphy called him on his bullshit even if he did obviously bait him at times. The sooner Pearson learns to handle the responsibility of being a Premiership manager like a man and not like a pissed-off teenager, the better for Leicester City. You'll never win against the media. Be smart enough to get your post-match interviews done and out of the way as quickly as possible whilst consciously grading your language and then use your frustration productively by working harder with your players and staff to keep your team up and also your job. Don't just piss and moan in front of the camera. Your players are big boys, they don't need you taking offence for them. Grow the fuck up, Nigel.

[@rosscleary9110]

He's a better manager than Roy Keane, so I don't think he cares about your boring 'ard man' comparisons.

[@mgbutterman]

Big Leicester fan but I say I cannot agree with NP on this, strange attitude and rant to have. Totally with Pat Murphy who is an excellent journalist....

[@stemufc16]

Someone with a lot more intellect than Pearson ! He couldn't fight back and humiliate this reporter

[@UnitedRoar]

These outbursts are working though because Leicester were dead and buried weeks ago and now they have a great chance avoiding the drop.

[@jonnydc1]

Needs to show the media a bit more respect, No need to act like he has

[@engespress]

If Pat Murphy wants to rant on about Pearson, he should write it in his personal blog. It's bad journalism for the journalist to give his commentary for 7 minutes about what happened in that prior incident. That's not what a professional journalist should be doing. He is making the news, not reporting it. The interview should have been about the football game, not about this topic. Notice how the journalists didn't grill Poch about his rap sheet when he shouted at and harassed the referee. Pearson disagreed with the journalist about the reporting of Leicester FC. He apologized for asking him whether he's an ostrich. It was finished. The reporter is being petty and his behavior was shameful and unprofessional. Shows these reporters really rate themselves and are thin-skinned. BTW, why isn't he apologizing to Leicester and Pearson for calling Leicester "bottlers"? Pot calling kettle black. Pearson apologized for asking the reporter whether he's an ostrich. Pearson handled the badgering and grilling from the reporter very well.

[@engespress]

Notice how Pearson apologized for calling the reporter an ostrich, and how this other reporter, Pat Murphy, doesn't apologize for calling Leicester "bottlers". The media are very arrogant. They are a protected species because the media companies are owned by the bankers. The owners and their prostitutes think they are above ordinary people. You're not allowed to say anything negative toward the people who rule over you or their minions like this Murphy guy and his fellow reporters. Pearson was supposed to prostrate himself in apology for daring to ask whether a reporter was an ostrich ... That's what this reporter's mission was to do - to bully one of these "subjects" into submission, and flagelate themselves for questioning the integrity of a reporter's line of questioning. A public apology wasn't enough apparently - it's a full-on "mea culpa", bowing and scraping, forelock tugging - one should know one's place in the hierarchy. Know who rule over you. The media men are your betters. Pat Murphy is backed by the trillionaire bankers (so long as he stays obedient to them and he writes only what THEY want reported). The lugenpress have power over you. And they want to keep the subjects strictly under control, lest the truth starts leaking out.
