Varadi

Walked out of his press conference according to this: http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2013/04/02/no-questions-allowed-fascist-manager-arrives-at-sunderland?

From the Telegraph: Paolo di Canio is a fascist. Time to boycott Sunderland http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danhodges/100209856/paolo-di-canio-is-a-fascist-time-to-boycott-sunderland/

I'm actually pleased - before this they were all resigned to defeat so beating them wouldn't have been quite as satisfying - they now have 2 weeks to whip themselves into a frenzy of anticipation before Shola crushes their dreams again.

We'll probably have Chris Powell on the news this evening saying he hates the cunt.

Wigan only have 5 away - the Swansea game is at home. It was wrong on the graphic from the Daily Mail, I had to check earlier as 6 away out of 8 just didn't seem right!

Don't think a new manager will make that much difference to their chances of staying up to be honest - they still have the significant handicap of most of their players being utter shite.

Ah fucking hell man - should've known there's no way news of this magnitude would've escaped the forum's attention.

Didn't know he was going out with Miss Newcastle: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/beauty-queen-rachelle-graham-tells-2421122? http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01509/Rachelle_Graham_1509722a.jpg Go on Papiss lad!

Get out. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/3943621/cat-closing-door-o.gif

Santon will have to be on his game for the derby - Di Canio will be packing the team with right wingers...

Classy bastards

I don't care about what managers say, but regarding Rio Ave. Sporting 0-1 Rio Ave Rio Ave 2-2 FC Porto Rio Ave 3-0 Sporting Rio Ave 2-1 Sporting Rio Ave 1-1 SC Braga This season they drawn against Braga and Porto, beaten Sporting 3 times. Far for crap. Aren't Sporting shite though?

What lineup do you think we'll see from your lot? well i've doubts regarding the availability of some of our players, but maybe something like... Artur André Almeida Luisão Garay Melgarejo Matic Enzo Gaitán Martins Ola John Cardozo Melgarejo, Enzo and Cardozo have been having some muscular problems so there's a chance they'll be replaced. usually we would have Gaitán playing behind Cardozo and Salvio on the right, but he was injured during last night's game, and we still don't know how severe it is. also there's a slight chance we play some of our youth players, like Roderick or André Gomes, it's not very likely but because our main goal is the championship and we have a though game on sunday, there's a chance our coach will make some surprise changes. Still looks a strong side.

As an aside, some of their fans are unbelievably lacking in self-awareness - chatting to a couple of them in the pub yesterday and they were actually complaining that they had struggled this season because Mancini hadn't been given the money "to bring in the players he really wanted" last summer.

Di Canio now favourite. He'll fit right in.... http://www.documentingreality.com/forum/attachments/f240/94071d1253636995-origins-nazi-salute-di_canio_salute.jpg

We'll defend all game and look to nick an away goal. Felt like crying when I read this. We are so predictable... your coach seems pretty confident though He's an idiot though. If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs.......then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation

He's not going to get sacked now or the summer IMO. Really needs to be a big overhaul inside the club over the summer though, take a good hard look at coaching, fitness, conditioning, tactics, everything. Can't afford another season like this one.

What lineup do you think we'll see from your lot?

I dont think i could cope if we lost that game said yesterday lose to Fulham and my arse will turn inside out Derby Morning. Aye. Imagine the release when Shola slams in the winning penalty though!

one of thier best hopes for points was Pulis doing his mate a favour- oops. I actually thought Stoke looked OK against Everton yesterday, certainly not an easy one for the scruffs, and with Southampton in decent form it's not inconceivable them not winning another game this season. Might scrape a couple of draws if their opponents get some early red cards....

4 points from the next 2 and we're safe I reckon. Could probably even afford to lose to Fulham as long as we win the one after. Having looked at the mackems' fixtures they're my new favourites to join Reading and QPR - can't see them getting more than 36 points.

Just had a look at their fixtures, didn't realise what a tricky run-in they've got: Only 3 home games left - Everton, Southampton, Stoke Away games at Chelsea, Us, Spurs and Villa I think they might very well be Donald Ducked....

Impressive thing is he does actually look like he could manage it.

Has surely played his last game for us now - absolutely abject.

Wow - genuinely surprised by this. Only appointment they could make now that would worry me would be Gus fucking Poyet because that would mean certain defeat in the derby.
