I see the Mackems got beat 1-3 by their OWN U21 side yesterday.
No point in making a whole thread on the subject so thought I'd share the link...............

A classic story has emerged today about Paolo Di Canio’s Sunderland revolution.
Apparently, during the international break Di Canio arranged a behind closed doors practice match, first team against the kids.
A good run out for his first team and a bit of a morale boost after failing to win a game in the Premier League so far.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go quite according to plan and Paolo’s first teamers were easily beaten 3-1 by the under 21 side.
So angry was Di Canio that he conducted an after match post-mortem going through every detail of the game as to what went wrong.
I’d hate to imagine what gestures Paolo was making from the sidelines.
All the players were also reportedly instructed to not speak about the match but things like this don’t work and The Mirror have picked up the story.
A second morale boosting match has now been cancelled after the bins refused to play a weakened team…
