odessasteps Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening. Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Monday Morning Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 On one hand, it wasn't looking good. On other hand, awful, awful timing - new man has to basically work with Di Canio's team including all the new signings. Saw enough of Roma-Lazio earlier to see Gervinho sprint 50 yards into the area before slicing wildly into the crowd. Nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Missed penalty for first time in career (which was saved), booked, hit crossbar, penalty appeal turned down, brilliant last minute goal, sent off after the final whistle for arguing with the referee All in a days work for Super Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Have to say that for all the folks talking about how United are a one-man club whose fortunes depend on RVP playing or not, you could say the same thing about City... and that man is Vincent Kompany. Put it like this, without him on the field we aren't shutting out Manchester freaking United in open play and cruising to CL road victories. He is/was a fucking beast, quite possibly the best defender in the world and probably the best purchase of the new regime. Went to the Hatter yesterday wearing a shirt that probably hadn't fit me since they were still playing at Maine Road, had a glorious time with 150 of my fellow city peeps including the SO, who had a blast and is going to start researching City so she can really start following them as well, and even got on TV for a few seconds after the match ended (NBCSN had camera crews at the Hatter and I imagine Nevada's). It would've been a fabulous day even if we didn't BEAT THE RAGS LIKE THE DOGS THEY ARE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Z Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 City whoops United in the morning, Bears beat the Steelers at night. A great day of football of all kinds. And man is Pete right about Kompany, as the team has looked like world beaters with him and a mid-table squad without him. Still a good idea to buy a center back in January as depth, as I am not buying Lescott, Dimichelis,and Javi Garcia as proper cover there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 This is going to be a wild season. Season had a very good build to it with the managerial changes and transfer signings, season is matching it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Harms Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Who'da thunk after (Ozil aside) a poor transfer window and an opening day defeat to villa, the Arsenal would be top after 6 games? I didn't see it. We're one or two injuries away from complete disaster though I'd say. Need to keep everyone fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Bad news and bad news from Derby. The bad news is, Nigel Clough has been sacked yesterday. The bad news is, Steve McClaren is the favourite for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I heard people say today there would be resentment over Schteve getting the job, given his Middlesborough connection. --- Great weekend of MOTD without Shearer, Hansen and Lawro on the set either day.

ReiseReise Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Premiere League is shaping up to be quite interesting. Not sure if teams like Arsenal or Liverpool can compete in the long run, City and Chelsea are probably the teams to beat. United needs to find their groove and find it fast aswell. Weird how they kind of blew out Leverkusen in the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
