He's just gone up in my estimation. Just spent that last 20 minutes reading articles about why Brighton and Crystal Palace absolutely fucking hate each other in spite of being like 50 miles apart and hardly ever playing each other, funny what the internet does to you.

I like the way his name has already been given the "Ryin Goggs" treatment.

Away at Villa Park he was being a little shit all game, he got subbed (presumably to prevent him getting a second yellow) and was treated to a chorus of "You're just a little fucking twat" from our lot. As soon as he heard it he fucking exploded and started shouting and gesturing to our end, the the sound of delighted ironic cheers. And yeah, he had a very punchable face. Reminded me of a zombie Robbie Williams mini-me.

Main things of note I remember of him is backing Suarez to the hilt over the Evra incident and calling Evra a 'cry baby', backing him again when he bit Ivanovic and being sacked by BHA live on BBC Three with an implication it was because he was somehow involved in an incident where someone took a shit on the floor of the Palace dressing room. That aside, I think he's one of the better options they could end up with out of the available candidates.

I think Poyet, Di Matteo or Zola would be worth a punt for them and have a fair chance of turning it around. Can't see any of the other names mentioned ending in anything else but disaster, or mediocrity at best.

At least Koro Toe-re would have fit.

Acted like a dictator Hope he goes into full meltdown slagging off the board, players, club, fans and city. Send the twat with the tattoo running to Lase-Erase.

That's going to be a trivia question a few years down the line, surely that a first?

When you defiancé someone it's like a divorce, but before you're married. Duh.

Just speculation I reckon, based on the fact he had a dressing room bust up and was quickly shown the door afterwards.

Shearer sticking the knife in Shearer told BBC Sport: "I'm amazed, I really am amazed. Paolo Di Canio hasn't changed from the guy he was a year ago or two years ago. I assume, maybe naively, that Ellis Short and his chief executive did their homework on Paolo before they went and hired him to do the job at Sunderland."So they knew what his man-management style was like, it is very different."For them to give him £19million to spend in the summer and the power to let players like Stephane Sessegnon leave and then five games into the season say 'I'm sorry but what we've seen so far is not good enough, we're getting rid of you, we're sacking you' - I'm absolutely staggered."

Found it but it's spinning out of control, going too fast to read any more http://i.imgur.com/avs3M1w.png

Can we just remember for a second the principles they had to abandon and the PR offensive they had to launch to get a saluting facist to join them, fuck everything up and be sacked after 12 fucking games?!

Going wrong far too fast, they'll get rid of him in time to turn it around at this rate. New manager bounce could get them off the bottom and on their way to safety. One glimmer of hope is after all the work the board had to do to justify appointing a sieg-heiling fascist they may be reluctant to back down so readily.

They've got Peterborough in the cup first, guess that's included?

Just to clarify, he clearly made the right decision

He was born in Jarrow, so basically had a choice of supporting us or the mackems. Chose us because that's who his mates followed and we'd had a load of recent cup success in the 50s. Dunno if he knew what he was getting into. But then, fucking hell, talkabout Hobson's Choice.

Wasn't able to go to the first two matches, so gave my dad my season ticket for one of his mates. He came round with it the other day and grinned, "It's my anniversary on Saturday." Was going to congratulate him on how long he spent with my mum until he added "50 years to the day." And I did a quick bit of maths. Turns out today is 50 years since my Dad's first Newcastle match, a 4-2 defeat to Preston North End. So suitable bookends to a lifetime of supporting the Toon to capitulate at home to Hull Fucking City.

Seems to imply he did refuse to play.
