First topic message reminder :

We are now entering the business end of the season!

Now Utd more or less have the title sewn up it's all about the relegation scrap and the race for the Champions League spots.

Game on.

Early april fools?

Might be a masterstroke. As I said before, Sunderland need a kick up the backside. Di Canio wont go quietly

Joking aside this appointment is already looking like one big can of worms. This could end horribly for both parties.

by GSC Sun 31 Mar 2013, 10:59 pm

I dunno, from the point of view that the job hes tasked to do is short term and keeping them in the PL primarily. The one thing Di Canio can do is get them geared up for a dogfight. Under MON, there wasn't much fight or bite.

Flip side to that is Di Canio's inexperience against MON's experience. All seems very desperate to me from Sunderland

Benitez apparantly got the chop from Chelski

by GSC Sun 31 Mar 2013, 11:02 pm

Experience was only headed one direction though.

Another rumour he hasn't but hes been arrested in the US lol.

Odd time to sack him.

I think the Rafa one is a premature April Fools joke

by NickisBHAFC Sun 31 Mar 2013, 11:08 pm

Nope Rafa is still there and will be in charge tomorrow against Man United.

Statement on Di Canio's political stuff.

Wonder why he said Mussolini was one of his heroes in his autobiography...

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 6:12 pm

Have you read it? Marcotti was wonderful on Twitter last night, having ghost written the autobiography.

He wasnt making a Nazi salute, its a Roman salute of far longer. He is not a racist. He does not agree with much of what Mussolini did, pretty much anything he is famous for internationally are all things Di Canio has criticised. He is not anti-immigration. I would say they are wrong to say he doesnt have fascist sympathies, but fascism was not always the black and white evil it is now seen to be. I honestly dont think there is anything to worry about when it comes to his politics. They are certainly not of any sort of extreme that would worry a football club.

Big game this. Looks like it's gonna be a cracker as well

by westisbest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:05 pm

C'mon Fulham

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:07 pm

Penalty to Fulham. Clumsy from Samba

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:08 pm

Samba da Rock. Worth every penny.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:09 pm

QPR just seem to let the Fulham defenders have to ball with no pressure whatsoever, Hangeland took the ball to within 35 yards of the goal and was allowed to pick a pass at will.

Gonna have to change that

by GSC Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:10 pm

Eh, Samba has been really good for QPR tbf

by The Special Juan Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:12 pm

Samba's a funny player. Some say he's playing well, others say he's doing rubbish. It was the same at Blackburn; some said he was a beast, others said he had zero feet skills. I've never known a player like him.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:14 pm

I think he's been decidedly average personally. £12.5m and a 100k a week? Money down the drain

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:19 pm

There's no way they'll get 12.5 million back if they sell in the summer. 7 at most.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:20 pm

Well Clint Hill is looking likely to get sent off....

by GSC Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:21 pm

Samba is never going to be a great ball player, but there aren't many better defenders in the PL.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:21 pm

My god Cesar ain't half flappy

As just shown there!

He's a throwback to the 80's.

Yeah, Pique he ain't Laugh

I'd be more inclined to take Olly seriously if I didn't know his stance on everything QPR. They've overpaid a lot of players, but Samba is probably one of the few worth overpaying.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:27 pm

I'd take Hangeland everytime over Samba. I think Hangeland is top class

by GSC Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:28 pm

I think Hangeland is top class

Really?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:37 pm

GSC wrote:I think Hangeland is top class

Personally I do. Comfortable on the ball, and a very solid defender.

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:37 pm

Mbia's done that a few times this season. Acted dead.

by GSC Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:38 pm

Each to their own then. Thought his hype machine died down a couple of years back. Good, not great to my mind.

Fair enough as you say each to their own. Think we'll both agree that the partners of Hangeland and Samba are both Poopie

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:40 pm

Carry on QPR.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:41 pm

That was a quality passing move, played them off the park

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:43 pm

Goodnight and Goodbye Harry. Financial armaggedon awaits & some interesting transfers this summer.

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 8:44 pm

Dunno why'd you want Adel Taarabt anywhere near a dogfight.

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 9:07 pm

Guffer of a pen.

by Lumbering_Jack Mon 01 Apr 2013, 9:19 pm

Getting interesting now. Hope QPR lose though.

Would be t'riffic.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Apr 2013, 9:28 pm

This Emanualsen (I dunno how to spell it) is absolutely crap

by The Special Juan Mon 01 Apr 2013, 9:29 pm

Urby?

by Guest Mon 01 Apr 2013, 9:30 pm

Do you think that AVB got Livermore and Townsend mixed up when he decided to loan players out?
