Presume it's more to do with this happening after already been done for racism. Plus presumably it needs to be more than the previous ban he got for biting in the Netherlands.

Banshee mate, you need to realise Newcastle fans don't base their seasons on how their did in the derby like you do.

Pardew-'bad job'. 5th in first full season, followed by a stuttering second season after having no improvements to the team, whilst getting to a quarter final of a European competition. Pretty sure he'd get a statue in Sunderland kidda

Coming in late when the jokes already unfunny to pretend to be cool.

Shoulda got Deano on the case.

Fucking hell CT how did you even come across football? seriously I don't think I've seen anyone with such a void on the subject who still thinks he/she knows a single thing.

This Banshee is so adorable .

I love how in the 'toontastic bites' thread based on this they take posts by the one person who's universally derided by all and sundry on here and post them as if they're representative of the common view .

If I could be bothered I'd do one of those Fry saying 'shut up and take my money' memes. But seriously, shut up and take my money.

6Bells practicing for his AS Level exam it seems.

Martinez saying he knows Zamora isn't a dirty player but that it was a clear red card anyway. Mhmm.

Empire building games? I swear by anything from Paradox Interactive, but I'm a history geek and it may be a bit droll for a layman. Can't go wrong with Civi 5 if so.

What an end to the game there! Still probable that Barca are through (winning or scoring 2 at Camp Nou...) but still good to see it made interesting!

Only just seen about a Kidderminster fan being stabbed yesterday as his bus was attacked by Luton fans after the game . To think some people glamorise this shite too.

An economy that was completely built on re-armament and short-term gains (plus the annexation of smaller nations.) Which is all relevant to Di Canio.

So people are pissed off because his political views have killed millions? True but so has communism and I'm sure it'd be different if he claimed Stalin was misunderstood. I'm sure he just sees Mussolini as a 'strong ruler who made Italy great' instead of 'that guy who did the brilliant job of deporting Slovenes and making sure 'inferior' races were scattered across Italy. Mostly though it's irrelevant in a country with free speech. Sunderland fans should be complaining that a relatively inexperienced man is in charge. Not because of something that has fuck all to do with football.

Fascism comes from 'fasces', like wood with an axe on it.

Wigan Athletic get bigger crowds than Wigan Warriors. Even in places seen as 'rugby towns' the brand of top level football can't be beaten.

Like I said I haven't watched it yet so won't pretend to know the ins and outs of the performance. Just don't think we should get all CT about it

I don't doubt it was a terrible performance, from hearing about it it sounds so. But playing against one of the best sides in the world and coming out with negative tactics is hardly surprising. It works more often than playing a similar team and going gung ho. Many wrote this game off anyway, it wasn't as if it was a MASSIVE (and no, not all are massive) game or anything

Not watched the game yet but seen a lot of over the top opinions. Will comment again when I've seen the performance but some people need to chill out, playing Man City and losing 4-0 isn't good, but it's hardly a bloody disaster.

Just think about what world you'd prefer your Bairns to live in and I'm sure those few seconds will be easy

As someone who goes a lot to watch Conference games... Why do they think the Conference teams and supporters would want them in? I know I wouldnt. Some teams in the league can't handle when Luton and Grimsby turn up, never mind Celtic and Rangers. Also who's place will they take? 'Sorry Stockport but we're relegating two extra teams just so these two can turn up.' Or 'Yeah Chester you've finally topped the Conference North but we're having no promotion to accommodate teams from a nation which may not even be part of Britain soon.' No, fuck off.
