The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

[eastie]

I might stand by the fence where the away team coach pulls up and shout 'I hear your a racist now Paolo'.

Yes that's right , make sure the fence protects you .

I wonder if MON is screaming at everybody that will listen asking why are people not asking why I've been sacked, why is there not a public debate, why are the papers back pages not full of glowing tributes to his genius.

To quote a username on here, Martin who?

To be honest, I think MON's media mates are deflecting all this for him; hence all the DiCanio hoo-ha. Did they give a shit when he was manager of Swindon? No.

This conversation should be in the little things that make me smile thread!

Why is it when he was at Swindon we hardly ever heard anything about it, now he's at Sunderland I'm bloody sick of hearing it, He's entitled to his own opinions in my view.

When he took over at Swindon a couple of years ago, the GMB withdrew their sponsorship of the club.

Thing is, if it aint the premier league, it aint news.

I was under the impression that the coalition politics in the country meant that there was a lot of minor Fascist parties that were part of the big political blocs, but a quick look at wikipedia tells me I was confusing anti-immigrant, right wing and populist with outright Fascist.

That's pretty much it, mate. It can be difficult to tell the difference at times, particularly given some of the fools who end up in parliament, but in general that's about the situation.

I can't see mon being interested in Leeds but I see our old friend mr o dreary has thrown his hat into the ring .
As for mon unless everton want him in the summer i think his club management days are probably finished - cant see him dropping down a division or taking a lower table job .

Some Everton fans seem to be drooling over the prospect of him taking over should moyes leave but i don't know if kenwright would be quite so keen.

[Mortimer's Bear]

What we need is for there to be a perfectly square piece of dirt on the window of the Sunderland team coach, whilst he's barking out orders...

Personally, I think Milliband should be applauded for what he's done. People complain about politicians not being principled and not standing for anything anymore, well, in the past, Di Canio has declared himself to be a fascist. In Britain, given our history and given the number of people who gave their lives to defeat fascism, that should be unacceptable and I think standing up and saying I don't hold truck with someone who holds those beliefs is quite right.

I think Milliband should be applauded, too. Too often we criticise politicians for not really having principles beyond what serves them best, but I'd imagine Millibamd would have been thinking about the effect fascism had on his own family when they made that appointment.

The thing I find most laughable in this is the Sunderland statement the other day saying that it was ridiculous to suggest Di Canio is a fascist or a racist.

This is a man who has actually said, several times, that he's a fascist, engaged in fascist salues with the Lazio fans, and has DUX tattooed on his thigh.

I'd say they might have thought to check with Paolo before saying he's no fascist.

Surely MON's renowned knowledge of players worldwide would make him an ideal choice for an overseas club.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but James Richardson (of Football Italia fame) said something interesting the other day:

I don't believe it!
