Why are Oxford so obsessed with Paolo Di Canio & all things Swindon?
Because their manager is dull, their team is dull, their stadium is dull, their supporters are dull. They may as well change their name to Dull City.
Read their main internet discussion forum (& I made the mistake of doing this briefly at the weekend) and you'll realise that the attention/obsession is not healthy. You'd think that, in their position (ie still in the mix, but stuttering form of late), most of the discussion would be around the changes needed to get their season back on track. But if anything, there is just as much space devoted to anti-Swindon and anti-PDC bile.
They seem an unhappy bunch. Can't be a lot of fun, judging by what's posted on there. A little simplistic, I know, to tar everyone with the same brush...OF seems sane enough, for example, as do
some of the posters on there. But the over all impression is not a good one.
