Di Canio

[hongkongfulham]

Anyone else love him or just me?

[HatterDon]

just you ... and Fat Freddy's Cat!

[Lighthouse]

Bad result for the Prem teams fighting down there and shows how rubbish we were at Newcastle not to try and go for them. We are only six points above Sunderland.

[Bassey the warrior]

He's a fascist so no.

[St Eve]

Despite his political beliefs he seems to know how to motivate a team

[Legate21]

After Pardews celebrations following the Cisse winner I'm happy he was on the receiving end of three today.

[Kent Cassandra]

Me, me, me Canio

[The Bronsons]

I don't love him, but I do love watching him. He makes Sunderland almost watchable.

[Berserker]

He'll be the new media darling like Harry unfortunately.

[SKSW6]

He'll be the new media darling like Harry unfortunately.

Did you not see him get absolutely destroyed by them in all of his press conferences when he first signed for Sunderland?

[Berserker]

He was the media darling when he was at Swindon, every night he was in the local paper, well that is until he left them in the lurch. He even had a bit of a column on the BBC website. As soon as he starts getting results his aledged political views will be forgotten.

[EJL]

I love his celebrations. So much passion.

[Admin]

I'm sorry but the guy's an idiot. He may be a motivator, but he'll cause trouble in the Premiership for sure.

He was up to no good today, skidding down the pitch, over-celebrating and just over-elaborating things in general like beating his chest to the Sunderland badge. The guy's been their 2 games, not 2 years and it's bull how he came come out and say "My passion to the fans" he hardly knows them, they hardly know him.

If anything, he probably helped toward the trouble there today. Don't like him, sorry.

[CurryForMario]

Those celebrations were really quite brilliant.

[Burt]

Certainly not dull to watch... Can you imagine Jol skidding on his knees half way down the pitch and pumping his fists like that?

I understand your points but the premier league is a passionate league with ups and downs, his politics might give him a bad image but his passion also describes him as a human, even if he's been at Sunderland for only two weeks, it's a derby game in the most passionate league in the world and to give sunderland credit they gave him a chance when he had no top flight experience at managerial level that's one of the reasons im guessing he was banging his chest where the sunderland badge was.   

[LordNelson]

It's called team psychology, or know what's going to motivate/get the most out of your players. Apparently, he's pretty good at it.  Don't care about his politics just like I don't care about Jol's either.

[Ged]

The guys a joke
Did he grow up in Sunderland? Did he stand on the terraces as a kid? did he spend all his pocket money on Sunderland FC? Did he travel around the country following his team through thick and thin? Did he get ribbed at school and work by Newcastle supporters? Has he dreamed all his life of Sunderland winning a cup NO last week he was doing the same at Swindon and in a years time or so he will be at another club showing the same passion
He is just trying to win over the fans and by doing so mocking real fans with real passion Beating Chelsea this week will mean a million times more to me than Sunderland beating Newcastle did to him

[Walsh]

We're lucky is Jol giving us a little smile when we score never mind skidding on his knees and first pumping.

Sunderland & Di Canio = car crash season 13/14
