Dunno, but Googling to find out I found this from July

Boy Cottagers

Actually, come to think of it I was listening live at the time.

[Alex]

haha what happened?

All to do with this twitter account.

I think Agnew reported that others had access to the account, but only one man was tweeting from it. She disputed that. Said something about if you have the access you can tweet from it. Which he said he didnt know so couldnt say.

I think what happened with that twitter account was that 2 or 3 players were chatting with a mate who ran it, he took what they said and made an account.

They were probably all chipping in with things, but they didnt tweet them directly.

[Alex]

Too be honest, I am tired of this whole affair now.

KP is right in what he says, he was treated poorly. But whats done is done, its never going to change. He has settled his scores with this book.

Id much rather get back to chatting about this World Cup next year. Saying you hate the ECB is a bit like saying you hate the FA now. There will be good and bad in all organisations, as long as some learn from mistakes its going to move on.

Prior is gone probably for good after this injury, KP is gone, Swann is gone, Flower is gone and so too is Trott most likely. That is 5 HUGE figures in last years England side. Its a new team now.

There has been a lot of anecdotal talk about KP situation from people and managers in other sports as well as cricket, about how a lot of the very best sportsmen have a 'side' to them that makes them so driven to be the best, and as a manager or sporting institution you have to 'manage' these sportsmen appropriately.

Now i could be wrong here, but from what i've seen and heard so far on all this, it seems England cricket and some in the England team have set out to do the exact opposite and antagaonise him, and those that haven't set out to do so, have ignored those that have when it's been brought to their attention, maybe it is a form of bullying as he says; i don't know.

But it's no wonder KP ended up lashing out.

[Shaggy]

Yep. What's worse is they allowed the players behind the obvious inside job on the KP Genius Twitter account to get off scot-free. It's at that point the trust disintegrated and it all started to fall apart. 'Text-gate' came after that. Yet the clique got away with it and it was Pietersen who was thrown under the bus. Indeed there's no wonder he's lashing out now. Good on him I say.

[red g]

Think i heard KP will be on with Gough and Durham this afternoon.

[Chazza]

Will be on just after 4pm I think.

Gough was his best man so not sure how hard he will push him although he did say he thought KP was getting quite an easy time in interviews

[Shaggy]

Yep he is. I'm listening.

[Chris]

Yep he is. I'm listening.

Me 2.

[Chris]

"British Bulldog"

I like this guy.

[Shaggy]

Good stuff this.

[Liverpool]

Cant help but think back to the end of every over KP trundling past the slips, to be completely ignored by Prior etc. He should have ****ted one of them and gone out in style

[Chazza]

Swann getting dug out as a hypocrite.

[Chris]

Swann getting dug out as a hypocrite.

Swann the cunt. Interview wasn't as good as I thought but still better than most of his recent ones, they did go a bit hard on him with a few questions but I'm sure he was aware before going on air. I cant dislike him even though he's a bit of a prick.
