similar in the sense he is described as a fascist yet was the overall reaction similar when he was installed as England manager??
I'm a sandalista left wing git who has spent many a night on the smb (sadly) arguing against racism, the bnp and any other right wing topic I could get my teeth into to.... however the press over Di Canio is absolute double standards
Do you honestly believe this press backlash would have happened if he was the new manager of West Ham? Until recently the press were talking about him as a Hammers legend who'd potentially return to the club as a hero, he was on the BBC commentary team last year, and recently managed a professional club in Swindon![]()
If he'd took over any high profile Prem Club - especially if there was a Miliband-esque subplot - there'd be a shitstorm. If he joined Newcastle, the Shearer went ballistic on MOTD, you'd have a media shitstorm.
All except West Ham, because the main narrative would be the returning hero.
Let's not forget there was a furore over the mags' Wonga deal, and no such outrage over their sponsorship of Hearts or Blackpool. And we f***ing loved it.
Nothing much, a bit like Di Canio.
There was probably something more important happening in the news that week though.
From faux outrage to persecution complex in 48 hrs.
Canny![]()
So you're admitting to the hyprocisy. Thanks, that's all I was asking
I think Di Canio has made the most important comment of all.
Politics and football are nothing to do with one another.
So for all that I understand people wanting the sentiment to be true, it manifestly isn't.
I'd go further and say Football would be a shadow of what it is without the rivalries, politics, plots and sub plots.
Not me mate, I genuinely appreciated their attempts to destabilise my club at a crucial time in our season.
It's not really hypocrisy. It's about the most compelling narrative. It's not the media's job to be fair or equitable, it's the media's job to sell advertising space.
Once you realise that you'll see there's no conspiracy against Sunderland.
I'm not claiming it's a conspiracy against Sunderland, I'm saying it's double standards by the press
We seem in agreement![]()
Take the Mags, theyve been a media circus for years & invariably of their own making. We've revelled in it on here often enough. As long as the same treatment is given all round we can have no complaints.
100% this. What a f***ing tool the OP is.Do your homework before you post such dross pal ffs
100% this. What a f***ing tool the OP is.

Just got back from work but read that piece in the Guardian earlier on. I've read it for 24 years so was depressed to see how low it sunk with that I'll informed and partial shit. You expect it from those who hack the phones of murder victims but not them.
I'd be surprised if there were more than 10 genuine experts on italian fascism in either the original or modern guise in the whole country, so it's surprising to learn that every other sports journalist in England moonlight as an expert on far right politics.
