Thought he handled that really well and impressed with his analysis of the overall situation we find ourselves in.

Video on the news over here on the penalty incident. You can clearly hear Vinnie shouting ‘You f***** cheaters’

An excellent interview from Bellamy, has grown up and matured since his playing days.

No cliche nonsense and didn't take the bait of one or two journos. Good stuff CB.

Excellent interview. He has more about him than he is often given credit for.

Shouldn’t be sent off for telling the truth
Could understand him being sent off for lieing but not telling the truth.

He handled that well and fielded some predictable questions confidently.

this is even better than the first one - imagine being a young player and having him speak to you like this, fantastic.

Really like Bellamy. Since he calmed down he's always come across really well. Decent bloke - good presser.

Goodness me, I'm even warming to Bellamy this evening.
Well spoken and said, great interviews.

In all honesty I haven't been an admirer of Craig Bellamy, especially as a player, but he has come across extremely well in both interviews and he has raised himself in my personal estimation. If the players believe in what they are doing and perform like today for the remainder of the season then who knows? UTC

Indeed it was. He came across very well. All in all a good day to be Claret… fitting at Easter; died, risen… and will come again.

Impressive interview.
Possibly the best I've ever heard from an assistant manager.
Knows his stuff & can back it up.

Good job the management and players still believe. A lot of our fans threw the towel in months ago

We live in a nation of free speech. It is compulsory for managers/coaches to attend, post-match. If a manager tells the truth he is dragged before the FA and his wallet is lighter.
They should sue the FA for denying them free speech.

Good interview. Not sure he'd have the patience to deal with the media long term, he was already showing aigns of frustration at some of the questions there. Maybe assistant is the right role for him.

When CB was at City I went along with a good friend and City sth. Told him I couldn’t stand CB… he said yes because he’s not on your team… the lads got a lot more about him than when you see him snarling on the pitch. I just smiled when CB was interviewed after that for pretty much all his playing career, at what Dom had said that day at Maine Road.
Glad he’s now ‘ours,’ good to hear him at length too.

He’s not for me. Just can’t take to him and the nice guy persona doesn’t seem to fit but if he’s good at his job and popular with the players that’s all that matters.

Bellamy just wants the best for whoever is in his team.
Obviously if you're not in his team you're not gonna see eye to eye.
I think he's great.

Sorry but the comment about just being undone by quality was ********. We’ve been giving away cheap goals and shooting ourselves on the foot all season long. If you are undone by quality- like Chelsea’s second goal today - you hold your hands up, but far too often we’ve made it too easy. If the management don’t realise that it might explain why it’s taken them so long to fix it.
