Am I alone in being appalled that Sunderland have appointed Di Canio as manager?
The man has a Mussolini tattoo on his arm, used to rejoice in giving Nazi/Roman salutes to the Ultra fans at Lazio and had this to say about "El Duce". "he was deeply misunderstood' and 'basically a very principled, ethical individual"
Sunderland need to take a look at themselves
It's not the fans fault but I would be embarrassed
Sunderland's last day fixture away at Tottenham could be interesting!

Nothing mentioned when he managed Swindon. why now??

Personally, I did mention it but if you are talking generally it's a fair point. When, where and how vociferously it was mentioned before is hardly the point though is it?
It's no less wrong because people have negated to talk about the issue previously
You either think there is a problem with it or you don't
I happen to feel very uneasy about it

I personally think it was stupid to sack o'neill after a game he was never going to win and think given the remaining matches he would of kept them up just but for me Sunderland should of never sacked Bruce he built the majority of the squad and they'll pay now for o'neills signings as I bet there all on high wages

I don't give a toss about O'Neill mate. It's the morality (or lack of) in appointing a fascist as his replacement that interests me
If I didn't think football had sold it's soul to the devil before, I certainly do now

3 points for QPR today, closing in on the Village

Oh dear your prediction was way out there again supporting your team doesn't require much intelligence.

We will be closing in on Norwich who I believe are doomed
