He's got DUX tattooed on his thigh, and has spent a lot of time being unapologetic for his views, and giving the fascist salute at the scumbag element in Lazio's support. I love the way it gets turned into "he obviously doesn't know much about fascism, like" or "he's not really a fascist". Fascist supporters like Lazio's following are repulsive, but dodgy supporters is one thing, appointing one of them as your manager is another entirely.

Number of black managers in the top flight = zero. Chris Hughton says hello Fair enough, but even so, it's a depressing statistic, especially the "fascists 1" bit.

No, it isn't. Democracy protects the rights of people to hold views in that they do not infringe on the ability of others to do so. I'd also say your argument misses the fact that fascist views are utter reprehensible, and are all about infriging the rights of others to hold their own views.

One other thing, the criticism of Miliband on RTG is nuts. His parents were refugees from fascist Europe. What is he supposed to do? Act like it doesn't matter? He has done the principled thing.

Thats the thing, you cant just dismiss it like that, it's not him coming out as a Tory or a Eurosceptic, he's a self confessed fascist, and a lot of people - quite rightly - still have a problem with that. You're right, he's entitled to his views, as that's the sort of thing we protect in a modern democracy - see what your average fascist thinks of that. With all the talk of racism in the game recently, it's kind of a bit ironic to think that: Number of black managers in the top flight = zero. Number of admitted fascists managing in the top flight = one. I think Sunderland have dropped an almighty ricket here. Not because they're signed up a league one manager who has a clear temper problem, and proven history in being slightly nuts, but because they've effectively looked at the potential backlash from this and thought "What the fuck". It is not good.

Villa won the NextGen final today. Next generation is good. Current one, not so much.

RTG today is a depressing indication if just how thick some people can be. One person calls those concerned about his politics "precious", hundreds line up to pat him on the back and agree. What a monumentally stupid appointment. Although I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when they binned MON. "Sorry Martin, but we're going to have to let you go. On reflection we think a fascist nutjob who fights with his players during games probably has a better chance of keeping us up."

Truly remarkable. Where to start with this? Really?

See, that's the sort of thing that makes me fucking angry. Short: You've got £30m to spend. MON: OK, I'll see what I can do. *time passes, Martin, having realised he desperately needs a number of players decides to waste 25m on just two players, Fletcher and Johnson* *time passes, results go badly, MON complains hasn't been able to bring many players in* *gets sacked* Pat Murphy, Oliver Holt, Patrick Barclay, Henry Winter: "He wasn't backed in the transfer market" Honestly just FUCK OFF the lot of you. Adam Johnson + Steven Fletcher + Danny Graham = THIRTY MILLION POUNDS. £30m for the manager of SUNDERLAND, FFS. When will these people wake up and smell the coffee, for fuck's sake.

Seconds, sadly. Ollie Holt Patrick Barclay Henry Winter.

Honestly, if it is McLeish, I will ejaculate my head clean off my shoulders. Pics. You won't need them. You'll see it fly over your heads about 30 minutes after.

Honestly, if it is McLeish, I will ejaculate my head clean off my shoulders.

Ha ha ha ha, I just realised something. Alex McLeish is out of work. Oh, please, please, please God, on so many levels, you must make it happen.

I kind of feel you've been short changed with the timing, should have been end of season when you finish ahead of them putting them down. No, they're done for now. He's a cunt (as a person for how he shat on us), and he is an anachronism, but you can not stop a juggernaut like their charge to the Championship with a new manager and seven games to do it in, not a prayer. Plus they'll spend the next three years finding bills and invoices for UK based agents stashed behind sofas / under filing cabinets / behind cupboards.

We should, right? New manager form for the derby? Honestly, relax. This is a monumental error. End of season? Yes, definitely. Now? No, big, big mistake. What kind of manager is going to take that job? A juggernaut heading towards the Championship?

Was he any good mate? Fucking awesome. After all, he had us into sixth place. Oh, hang on ....

Genuinely, pissing myself laughing: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=769756

That's the funniest thing ever.

Tell you what, if they appoint David O'Leary now, I am declaring myself the KING of this forum.

That's them done for now. Regardless of what a cunt MON is, they'll never install someone and turn things around now. They're down.

I wonder what sort of wage bill controls Short has in place. He can't have not seen coverage of the state of our finances. Lerner was partly culpable for that, but id love to know if Short did his homework in that respect. At one point our wage bill was over 10m higher than that of Spurs and 20m higher than Everton's. I also read that at one point, we were paying Steve Sidwell almost double what Spurs were paying Modric. That's what happens when you don't scout abroad. Lerner must look at Benteke now and shit his pants with joy.

I had Sunderland at 10s the other week. Look at their price now!

Out of interest, now March is largely over, how many points did Martin amass this month? I may have mentioned, he never won much in March with us. Same XI, totally knackered, out of steam etc etc

Yeah, but look at the table, look how many sides are bunched on a small points difference. The general standard in the PL this year is abysmal, there are lots of teams still at risk. If you go down - and you won't - it won't be because of losing at Man City, a place almost everyone loses. Just win a couple of your more winnable games and you'll be fine.
