......... as if they weren't bad enough. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/paolo-di-canio-fuming-sunderlands-2260969? "Paolo di Canio is fuming with his Sunderland players – after they lost a closed-door game against the ‘kids’. The fiery Italian planned the private practice match to give his senior stars 90 minutes under their belts during the *international break. Manager Di Canio had worked hard with the team after slamming them for losing at Crystal Palace, but the latest exercise backfired. Sunderland’s ‘big team’ were well and truly beaten 3-1 by the Under-21 side that plays in the Premier League’s Professional Development League. Di Canio was so incensed by the performance that he went over the game in detail afterwards – and also told all the players not to mention the match had even happened." What a totally ****e 'article' this is, let's print the usual words and jumble them up a bit. Of course any manager/coach would analyse a game afterwards, what a stupid comment. Telling the players 'not to mention the match' is obviously a harmless piss-take. It wasn't even the first team and we all know these games are training exercises to keep match fitness, practice systems and not to 'win'. The manager's last words, before kick off would've been NO INJURIES! Shouldn't we be pleased 'the kids' are doing all right? This 'slamming' 'furious' 'incensed' crap is beyond a joke now and the club need to start making moves to reign things in.
Same old **** from them mate anything to have a go at PDC and us, bandwagon jumping to get into the FAs good books. Behind closed doors yet they find out about it, if true find the leak and plug it.
It's a private practice match, mate, which is often the case at any club, no big deal ........ they just don't want press and public there. It isn't 'top secret' and the 'leaks' don't need 'plugging'.
It must have been those moles in the ground . Out to trip PDC up in whatever he does ........ where's my mallet !
